4 : OL FELD WORK LAGS DERAICK'S “HEPORT STATE Cold’ Weather and. Sleet Storms General Over Country Despite } Fair Weather in Wyoming The cold weather and sleet storms have delayed operations in all’oil fields so that the late news from them has been of ordinary interest, says the Der- rick’s weekly review. None of the fields reported large wells except the Clai- borne district, and there were fewer completions than usual. North Texas | Was rainbound and Oklahoma ana Kan- Sas had not recovered fully. North Louisiana is inereasing actly- ity with new companies entering. the divisions, And large mergers among those cémpanies which were first in| the new fields. Some of tHe amounts paid for properties run into very high | figures. Reports of the’ invasion of the | Homer fiéld by salt water persist in| spite of details. These give details of the wells affected, and according to the Derrick’s Houston correspondent three wells in the shallow sand and a number in the deep sand are showing more or less emulsion and sediment. These are the “Standard Oil company of Louisiana's No. 1 Oakes, reported showing 40 per cent. basic sediment and one-sixth of one per cen water, content. being” very small, is a well im the deep sand. The same| company’s No. 1 Shaw, inthe same formation, shows four and two-tenths sediment, with no water, and No. 2 Shaw is reported to have four per cent. basic sediment and/no water, Tho Gjl- liland Oil company’s No. 5 Shaw, a shallow sand well, is reported showing 20 per cent. sediment and 20 per vent. | water. No. 7 on the Shaw, in, the deep } sand, is said to represent 12 per cent. | sediment and no water,, Same: com- pany’s No. 2 Jacksor, a shallow sand! producer, is reported with one per cent. fresh water and two per cent. /sedi- ment. ‘The Gulf Refining company’s No. | 1 Chatman, in the shallow sand, is re- ported making eight per cent. sedi-} ment and 20 per cent. salt water.

The fact both of these make a nice extension to the field is important.

Should the Humble venture prove a producer it will indicate @ connection between the Eastland county Pool and that of Comanche coun- tly. All of Bastland county's comple: tions were moderate prducers, gas ~vells or ary, and there ‘were nine of the lat- ter. Only one well making as high as 1,000 barrels was reported from the Desdemonia field, and many of the oth- completions were light pumpers. The completions in Stephens county, were ee ioe es and none of importance.
