DRILLING CREWs Wells on Sections 33 and 3 Are Near Completion; 105 Derricks in Field There are 105 derricks in the Lance Creek field at the present time and about 26 wells already drilling, ranging from a few feet in depth to past the 4,000-foot mark. A great number of wells will start as soon ag water lines and rigs are connected up | according to authentic reports from _ the field. The two main developments under- way that are being eagerly watched by the operators are the Ohio well on section 33-35-65 and 8-34-65. It is a race between the two holes as to which first encounters the oil strata. Both wells are below the 4,000-foot levels and while the 33 well is the oldest in point of drilling, operators are making bets a: to which hole first reaches the oil Good natured rivalry between crews of the two wells is pushing the development of the properties at a fast rate of speed so that it is ex- pected that the district in the vicinity of the holes will soon be added to the known quantity limits. Evidencing the fact that the field | is a big company drilling proposi- | tion some of the largest operating | companies have been attracted by the field’s possibilities. The Continental | Oil company, Ohio Oil company, Mid- | west Refining company, Prairie Oil) and Gas company, Carter Oil com- | pany and the Union Oil company have | made investments in the district to- talling several million dollars and by | the time that the various wells un-/ derway are complete another huge | fortune will have been spent. | Another very important fact to be | noted about the development of the | field is the fact that the Illinois Pipe- line company has completed a six-inch pipeline to Lusk, a distance of 25} miles. The policy of the company | has always been to await the proving of a structure before it undertakes an expenditure required by the lay- ing of pipelines. To give some idea of the relative | values of gil properties in Wyoming, Merritt Oil company was ‘brought ott in December 1916 and the stock sold | immediately on the basis, of $9,000,- | 000 for the property. At that time there had been but one well drilled in the Big Muddy field with a daily production of about 500 barrels. ; i However this well proved the field | — and justified this valuation as it sim- ply meant a question of development of additional wells to'prove up & large | producing. oil Arex.) ony } A short resume of the proving of ; the Lance Creek field will be inter- | esting because of the development which is visiting the structure. The | Western States company jointly with | the Ohio Oil company brought in a 2,500 barrel well in October 1918. This well it is stated was only drilled into sand and has a considerable ||| gas pressure behind it. All the geo- logical conditions point to a very large oil field. The Western States company controls over 2,000 acres of the choicest land on this structure and owns a half interest in the well on section 36. From the original well the field has jumped until today it is the greatest exploited area in the state with constantly increasing develop- ment.
