discovery, and has an estimated
daily production Of 100000 to TO-
100000 cubic feet Of gas daily
through casing p~erforations at q
750-52 feet and z,753-55 IeN
Virtually all interest at oamfor-
dyce this weekend Is conferred ON
Mundy- stephens No. / Francisco
Guerra. in the north end Of tract
IL, porcion Al, about $500 northeast
OF discovery and 2.lOO feet north OF
production. The following revised
rlguTes on this well, which mas been
the Subject Of considerable inc3r-
rect information during the week,
were obtained: gas sand, 2,662-2.70l
feet; snale at 2,sUl-37 feet, gas sand
at 2,737-40 feet, gray oil sand with
gO0d Saturaticn az 2.740-52 feet, and
shale at 2,752-56 feet. The test is
sun coring. Taking into considera-
ton the elevation Of the test, II
picked up the gas sand many feet
higher than other wells IN the field
ana the oil sand Is correSpondingly
higher. There was considerable
difference OF opinion as TO whether
the sands were "strayS" or whether
1ney constituted the regular SAM
ioruyce horizon. The abnormally
thick shale break was cited BY
some as evidence Of being stray
sands. Coring this weekend un-
Coubtedly will settle the arguments
and PROBABLY pave the way Tor con-
siderable drilling IN the northeast
area, which in this first test appears
10 De as tricky geologically as ouher
sections OF the fielo.
One ether test in the field is Oh
the sand. IL is Ralpa 4. Fair, Inc,
tKing Woods Oil Coz No. 6 John
