Parent Treats
Well With Acid

While the Enneberg well was
performing, the Parrent-Anderson
No. 1 well, half a mile east, was
preparing to acidize. The acid was
run at Z O'Clock Friday morning
and the well was opened up shortly
before noon. Not until sometime
Sunday can an adequate estimate
be made. 1t had a coarse lime, ST.

Pfabe a EngleIxing's discOv-
cry well In the West Kelvin
Midway pool, on the Enneberg
farm, again established it's
reputation as one of the best
wells in Kevin-Sunburst area
this week when it resumed
flowing, after having been shut
in throughout the winter.
It's owners recently arrang-
ed market for part of their
production so they started to
pump the we'll. With the first
few strokes of the pump it be-
gan flowing at a furious rate
and it quickly filled all of the
storage on the lease and had
to be shut in.
When completed it was rated al
from 200 to 800 barrels per day
after acidization. It has never been
given an adequate test owing to
the fact that there has never been
a market for the oil. 1t is 3S gravity
sweet" crude, containing no sui
phur, and is of paraffin base. This
well gave the first indication of the
extent of the high gravity oil pool
on which the Rimrock group of pro-
ducers is located. 1t is over four
miles from the Builders-Ward ESQ
barrel well completed this week to
the Enneberg producer.

 Now the entire distribution was known to the declarer. He could not make all 13 tricks, so he gave East trick at once by leading a low diamond. East returned a spade, South won with the king, then cashed the king and queen of dia- mondS.
 Now the club 10 was led, and West, holding the spade jack-nine and the heart king -jack-nine, was pinched. He dropped the spade nine, but when the club queen was led, he was forced to part with the heart nine. Now South's lone heart was led and the queen won the trick. The ac> picked up the king and the 10 accounted for the last trick. The squeeze, developed by the surrender of the diamond trick, created 8 sit- uation which made defense i'm possible.

 Von zedtwitz held the South hand. The choice of no trump as the slam contract was wise, as oth- CT pairs found to their sorrow. A six-club contract was beaten with heart opening and diamond re- turn.
 The opening lead was won with the spade ace. Two rounds of clubs followed the first trick, and when West discarded, the ace of diamonds
