This} is. of course, an important matter! and it is hoped that every organi-| ation interested in the field will lave one or more representatives present at the meeting, prepared to act. “Some time ago, at the request of| your committee, E. LL. Estabrook, pe-| troieum production engineer of the Midwest Refining company, propared and mailed to each proCucer a propos ed drilling plan worked out by him. ‘This was, of course, merely a tenta tive suggestion and submitted with the idea of bringing out suggestions from other producers. “In order to haye before it, in con- €rete form, the idea of each producer as affecting his own property, your committees now requests that each producer in the field forward to the/ secretary of the committee, 408 Oil Exchange building, Casper, Wyo., be| fore April 5, plats by sections show-| ing the wells that the producer| wishes to drill on leases in which he 4m interested, between May 1, 1 2; | sible the producing wells in the sec- | ing to | nation double 8 and offset wells to producers on the Teapot and May 1, 1924. Please have these in the hands of the secretary on or be fore April 5, as your committee will meet soon after that date for the purpose of discussing and co-ordinat- ing the various plans submitted. Your committee belleves that, yhile thero may be some conflict of nterest in minor Cetafls—to be ad. justed on a ‘give and take’ basis— that, In the main, the interest of all the producers, in the matter of the drilling program for this season, is {dentical. In working out the pro- posed program the committees feels the following should bo considered as among the more important objects to be red “a) equalize as much as pos- To ond Wall Creek sand, “(2) To Increase as much as practic able in view of pipe-line and market conditions, the amount taken pro rata from wells already drilled in order to secure as large a provuction as possible from those wells in which an investment has already been made. “In this connection it {s interest- note that an addition to the ines now serving the field with capacity of 80,000 there are two new lines under construct‘on. The eight- inch line of the Tilino!s Pipe Line company is expected to be completed about June 1, 1923. The Sinclair Pipe Line company will Mkely have in op- eration about June 1, 1923, a comb!- 12-Inch_combi- nation line to the Clayton tank farm. These additional outlets will logically result in a larger pro rata being taken from the field, unless the pro- duction is greatly increased by an intensive drilling campaign, which your committee beleves would be ex tremely ill advised at this time.” pipe an approximate barrels per day, Teapot Deep Tests to Hold Interest of Unusual interest this year will fol- Jow the deep tests to be drilled by the Mammoth Ol] company in the Teapot field, arrangements having been con- luded, it 1s understood, to drill three such wells to test out all formations that may be oil bearing. To date Wells have only been drilled to the Second Wa'l Creek sand and because reveral of these have developed water. hopes of many operators holding leases on lands adjoining the with- drawal are now centered in the pros-| pect of developing production in the| Lakota sand. The Mammoth tests will be started with 20-inch pipe and| should reach the sand with an eight! or six-inch bit. | © The different sands, present status | and average depth in the Teapot are! fs follows: Shannon, water, 800-900] First Wall Creek, water( some| 2,200-2,600 feet; Second Wall Creek, oll (some water-, 2,700-3,200} feet; Muddy (unknown , 3,200-3,500| feet; Dakota (unknown, 3,500-3,7001 | Lakota sand on the outer edge of the Oil Operators feet; feet, Below the Lakota are the Sundance Embar, Tensleep and other sands but these are considered too deep for pres ent methods of drilling to reach. The Muddy and Dakota sands have pro- duced oll in other fields of this region but in the Midwest well in Salt Creek these sands were found barren. Owing to the great depth and neces- sary high cost of drilling a well to the Lakota, (unknown), 3,7004,000 Teapot structure, the oil men sidering the use of the diamond drill for putting down tests before using the cable too’s and drilling an ordi nary hole. With a diamond driil out fit, it 1s claimed that a hole about two inches in d'ameter can be put down to the Lakota sand for about one-third the cost of a well drilled with cable tools and in his way show what the sand holds, without too heavy expense. A diamond dril hole would not be large enough to be used for production purposes, however. are con: Marine Oil and Royalty & “Producers Companies Elect Little change ‘s noted in the wonnel of officers 1 directors the Marine Oil company and the Roy alty and Producers company as elect at the stockholders and board meetings of the two concerns in Cas: per Monday.
