GAS SOUGHT
In EASTERN N. {.
Carolina Petroleum Com
pany Drilling Wells In
Merrimon Area

MERRIMON, N. c., Sept. I'll
R-Roderick Stanley, president OF
the Carolina Petroleum company,
now drilling for oil in Eastern
North Carolina, said today 1--WE are
convinced that both gas and oil are
present in this area, and it is be-
lieved our current exploratory pro-
gram will result in their dis
covery."
Schlumberger electrical log tests
Just completed on the third ex-
ploratory oil well drilled in Eastern
North Carolina by the Carolina
Petroleum company showed that
sands carrying gas were encounter
ed at 1850 feet and again at 5000
feet, Stamey said.
Tests made at we'll No. 1 showed
la definite trace of natural gas, and
was capped as a potential pro-
|ducer.
Tests at we'll No. 2 reflected that
1T could not be profitably made into
a producer.
Stamey. revealed that new and
important geological data was re-
vealed in the completion of the
third well. It was determined that
somewhere between the first and
third well there had been an earth
faulting which changed the level
of the gas sands.
This information is SO import
anti" Stamey said, "that the drill
ing of a fourth we'll will begin in
the general area of Merrimon with
in the next few days"
Stamey said the Carolina Pc
troleum company's intentions at
the outset of the current explora-
tory program was to- drill a mini
mum of 20. wells. He believes,
howvere, that 1.-THE discovery will
be made before half of the 20 wells
have been drilled"
