Cement plug in the well was
drilled Friday night, but the test
failed to flow after tubing was run.
The well was then ~ietted" with
gas from a nearby well. gas being
piped into the casing to force al
oil flow through the tubing. After
several hours, the well began max
ing oil. Sunday night. its produc-
ton was gagged at 20 barrels per
hour on l-S inch tubing choke un-
der 30 pounds tubing working pres
sure. There was no gauge on the
casing. With this low pressure, the
well was making oil under circum-
stances almost identical with those

with gas from the nearby discov-

and the well began to flow under
its own pressure. There were
neither storage tanks on the lease
nor gauges on the Christmas tree az
the well. hence no accurate infor-
nation was available. Operators
who visited the we'll made esti-
mates as to its probable production
which ranged all the way from 200
barrels to $50 barrels daily. There
