Again demonstrating the fact
that the tremendously profitable
drilling operations are possible
in Kevin-sunburst field, a well
that two years ago would have
been positively abandoned as a

Several old producers have been

but only few wells have been drill

as can be ascertained. only five

Flowing wells are unusual IN
this field. They developed only in
spots where there Is unusual gas
pressure. Many OF the wells that
do not flow are larger producers
on the pump than those which have
more spectacular beginnings.
The shearOn well was reported
to be showing water. making 10
barrels OF water to 500 barrels OF
oil. However, the water was ex-
hausted as swabbing continued and
