100 PRODUCERS COMPLETED
FOR 1856, 100 BARRELS OIL

TAMPICO, Mex, July 2j.-During
the firsf six months of 1925, 443 wells
were drilled in the Tampico distric;
with 160 of that number being com.
mcrcial successes for an estimated mi.
tial production of $50, 100 barrels. OF
this number 500 were drilled in the
heavy oil district with 143 successful
competitions for an initial production of
3OI,lOO barrels, together with 167 dry
holes; 59, salt water wells and the
balnnce either non-commercial = or
abandoned for various reasons.
In the southern or light oil district,
u of the competitions were good for
1000 barrels initial production, to-
yether with o dry holes 10, salt water
wells: 3, abandoned or junked holes
and one gasser. Twenty of the total
number of wells drilled in this district
were by the Huasteca Petroleum Com
pany, light oil subsidiary of the Pan.
American Eastern. which had eight
successful competitions against three
dry holes; S salt water wells and the
gaSser in question.
75,10O BARRELS.
The competitions were good for an
estimated initial production of 75,100
barrels of which $1,000 barrels was
from wells in TERRA Blanca, where
well No. A, is $4,000 barrel pro-
Queer. This well together with Ccrro
Azul No. 3, for 10000 barrels were
the only large producers completed in

Mid Continent Operators
Resume Activities as

TULSA, Okla. Aug. 1.-After ex.
periencing hectic week over the pro.
posed Independent Oil and Gas Com
pany-Waitc Phillips Company deal
and hearing it finally called off, the
Mid Continent has settled down 20
drilling again. The big merger which
would have involved at least $780,
100000 worth of oil properties, was
the commanding topic Of conversation
throughout the week, and its effect
had it gone through, would have been
little short of sensational in the mar
ket. Most authorities maintained IT
would have made the market morally
stronger than at any time since sim
liar deal was made by the Magnolia
Petroleum Company in 1917. Most
Tulsa men still expect some sort Of
deal to go through for the Waite
Phillips Company properties and they
confidently believe that a subsidiary
of the Standard Oil Company will be
the buyer.
Operations in the Northern Mid
Continent have slackened but little in
spite of the usual mid summer dull
ness and vacation periods. There are
not quite as many wells drilling IN
Northern Oklahoma where water

TWO DEL RIO WILDCATS
MAY OPEN new Oil POOL

miles northeast of the East Del Rio
well.
The failure to control the water con-
.ditions seems to be one Of the worst
drawbacks in the wildcat territory. A
large portion of the drilling is done in
water and there is always a necessity
for much bailing in order to keep the
hole dry after the casing has been set.
For more than a year, the Havelin
well, is miles east of here, has been
engaged in a fishing job. The tools
have been recovered and drilling has
been resumed. The well is a little
below 5000 feet and is the deepest
test ever drilled in this district.
USE DOUBLE CREW.
A. Blume, who spudded in a new
well just in the edge OF the city a few
days ago, is using a double crew in
an effort to bring in his well within
the next 90 days.
Joe VI. Morris. IL miles northeast
Of the city, on the Sycamore creek. is
making preparations to resume drilling
on his second test. The first well was
sunk to 1000 feet. Several good oil
showings were struck in this well, but
none of them produced in commercial
quantities.

SEVERAL BUSTERS.

In Central Oklahoma the defining
of the limits of the new Holdenville
pool in Hughes county has left few
tests high and dry and drilling here
is now going north instead of south.
The major productive fields are show
ing little activity at this time.
Premiums for crude oil have been
eliminated in some fields and inau-
gurated in others, due largely to the
overrunning Of crude to the stills by
refineries which is throwing some Of
the high gravity output back on the
producers. The newer fields with a
better gravity Of crude have seen some
Inauguration of premiums of about 10
cents a barrel while they have been
removed from some of the larger fields
such as the Bristow, Cromwell and
Few other areas. There appears to DC
considerable oil in sight for the time
being, with the gasoline season half
over and it is not likely that high
premiums will be paid over the present
posted prices.

BRAMAN ACTIVE.

The Braman and Thomas pools in
Kay county were the only active areas
Of new productive activity the past
week. The former is producing ap
proximately 1850 barrels from six
wells, including the Conan Oil Com
pany No. 1 Bechtel. which is still do
ing 1924 barrels and the Herbert Oil
Company discovery well which is max
ing 47j2 barrels. Neither well is re-
ported showing any water and tn"
prospects of a major pool at Braman
with the trend to the north rather
than south or west looks very bright.
When it is considered that the two
smallest wells in the field are on the
extreme west edge of the field and ap-
pnrently off structure, the significance
Of this pool from a production stand
point can hardly be realized. Pro
ductiOn is found in this field at 2370
feet and the wells can be drilled in
less than 30 days at a moderate cost.
The gravity of the oil is from AZ to
AZ degrees Baume and brings from
$2.52 to $3.50 per barrel at the
well.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-08-02
DECLINES SMALL.

In no field is the decrease in pro-
duction of sufficient amount to be
outstanding. One week theer may be
a sudden boost, due TO few compile
tions, but such instances are offset by
weeks when the tendency is downward,
and in comparing the different fields
at the end of the year, the decreases
become apparent. With few exceptions
coastal fields are declining noticeably
from year to year.
This situation is resulting in wide
spread effort to find new salt don.es
in the coast country. All the big
are busy scouting and pros
pecting, and independent operators are
testing their holdings. This wildcat
ting is so extensive in the territory it
covers that few people realize how in
tcnsive the search for new oil is, but
IL the operations weer all punched in
one place, that place would have the
appearance Of a good sized oil field.

The Palmer well will undoubtedly
scause an active campaign in the cast
'crn section of the pool.
There was a damper put on the
prospects for production in the Ed
wards lime when several tests, both in
the edge of the pool. were abandoned
in this formation without production.
There is still possibility of pay at
this depth in another district. Many
wells in the wildcat district and near
the edge Of other parts Of the field are
drilling at low depths and probably
will strike the Edwards in the next
few days. These wells should tell
whether or not pay will be found in
