GUADALUPE OIL WELL
HOLDING Up OUTPUT

SEGUIN, Tex, Jan. 9.-North and
South Oil Company's Mexican No. 20
in Guadalupe county, recently CON-
pleted, is reported as producing around
800 barrels per day. 1t made 1000
barrels initial production.
Magnolia's Day No. 1 will probably
be made into deep test. This well
is located southeast of Guadalupe S
production area and is drilling stead
lily, its present depth being about $500
feet.
The year 1926 will likely see a
resumption of wildcat activities in
Guadalupe county.
Smith. Payne and Bond, Of Okla
homa, have made a drilling contract
onsthe Duran survey, near New Be-
lin in Western Guadalupe, to be start
ed within the next 80 days.
A derrick is to be erected on the
Brown place. one mile northeast of
kingsbury, for a test in that area.
A number Of other contracts are re-
ported to be in the making.

Drilling contracts call for the

which oil in paying quantity is found
in the Cross Plains, Cross Cut, East

which was encountered at $50 feet In
three edge wells of 30-barrel produc-

dependent operator, five years ago on
the same tract in which the Moss

wells were plugged after several
months of undiminished production.

IN NOLEDA
FIELD
Companies Plan Campaign
to Develop New Pool
Is 4 in South Texas.

According to reports received here,
the Humble Oil and Refining company
is planning to lay an oil line from the
coast to Benavides, Duval county and
thence to the Laredo oil field. These
present plans, however, hinge on the
amount Of production that will be
turned over to the pipe line company.
1t Is understood that the Humble Oil
and Refining company, through its
pipe line company has indicated that
it would lay an oil line il the major
ity OF tho present production could be
obtained. This would be in the neigh
borhood Of 5000 barrels. The total
daily output of the field at this time
is approximately 5000 barrels. A
representative Of the company has
called on a number Of the producers
all Of whom have indicated their will
ingness to sell their production to the
pipe line company. An oil line to
Inc coast WOulu lnCfedsc INC preseHI
Development work many times and
would encourage deeper drilling.
Several large sales Of leases in the
Noleda- Benavides area Duval county,
have been reported during the past
week. The Magnolia Petroleum COM
pany Is reported to have bought some
1000 acres of scattered leases on all
sides of the we'll, paying $3.50 per acre
or a total Of $250,0OO. The Houston
Gulf Gas company MOODY and Sea-
graves) Is reported to have bought 10
acres out of survey 1S5, which lays
700 feet west Of the Humble Oil and
refining company well, paying 500 900
cash and $4,000 out of production.
This price runs this acreage to $4,000
per acre and is the highest price re-
ported TO date.
Ths Humble on and Refining com
pany Is moving on location No. 2,
which Is 400 feet southeast Of the dis
covery we'll. This Is the only definite
location made to date, although sew.
eral companies are reported shipping in
rigs for immediate tests.

THREE new POOLS OPENED
ON COAST DURING MONTH

New fields seem to be the order Of
the day in the Texas Gulf coast just
now. The third one to be discovered
within the past month was added on
January 3, when the Rycade Oil cor
poration completed its Nash 5 for an
initial production of between 500 and
1000 barrels. The well is located in
Fort Bend county, just off the Nash
salt dome, discovered in July, 1924.
Production is coming from 4127 feet,
and the well was drilled ii feet into
the sand. Gravity of the oil is about
20.
Since the dome was discovered in
1924, the Rycade has drilled 10 tests
on and about it, but the present pro-
Queer is the first successful well. Ex-
cellent showings were found in two
other wells but they would not pro-
duce.
Rycade controls a block Of 1000
acres about the dome and will prob
ably do all the development for the
time being. Humble owns a 126-acre
tract about a half mile south of the
producer. The Sun company and the
Marland Oil company also own acre
age, but it is not near the well.
NEAR DAMON MOUND
The nearest outlet of the oil Is
Damon mound, and if the well holds
up a pipe line from Damon will prob
ably be put down from Damon to the
Nash dome, a distance of about seven
miles. The G. Fl. & s. A. railroad
from Rosenberg to Damon is the near
est railroad.
Production from the we'll IS being
taken care Of in earthen storage I'M
til it proves itself.
Indirectly it might be said that
the Nash well is result Of locations
made with the torsional balance, since
the Rycade used this instrument to
confirm its belief that salt dome ex-
listed beneath its block Of acreage. The
dome was discovered BY Wisdom l.,
started in June. 1924. after two other
tests had failed to hit the salt.

oil POOL

LULING, Tex, Jan. 9.-With
steady production of around 24,OOo
barrels per day OF three-fourths as
much as the production at its peak the
Luling oil field has made history
through a most successful year IN
1925. and with the installation Of the
United North and South Oil Com
pany's magnificent new electrical
plant it is thought that the production
will be increased some through stead
Ter operation Of the various pumping
plants. 1t is expected also that the
first months Of 1926 will see a new
validating era all around the edges
of the old field, with possibility OF
both deep oil and shallow oil fields
in addition to the present one, which
has an average depth of about 215O
feet.
The North and South's two deep
tests are drilling steadily since the
Kelley has been put back to work fol-
lowing an extended fishing job and
both it and the Tiller are below 5000
feet and intended as tests to try out
the deep formations that pay in other
oil fields.
In the main field the United North
and South Oil Company has five drill
ing wells. one each on the Tabor. A.
Mercer, Rios, Baker and Allen leases,
while two large star rigs are at work
in the Guadalupe County portion Of
the field, working over the wells that
have been giving most trouble from
water. There are put back on good
production basis after Being worked
over.
