CAfAIGNISON
AT CEMENT NOW
Two New Wells Coming In This
Week; Others Drilling Into Pay
With Many New Rigs Going
Up; Tests Busy.
INVINCIBLE PROMISES
EXTEND WORK SOUTH
Well Stands Full Oil; Mid-Southwestern
Flows Over Top; United
Cement On Sand; Other Opera-
tions Given.
Two more wc.lh in llio Comon:
field arcs practically completed ev-
cr;il wells are drilling in others am
cementing their casing and numerous
now rigs am going up all of which
indicate: tuat the predicted spring
drilling campaign is on In the field
in earnest.
The Mid-South western Mo. 1 Lack-
ey in the northwest of ithe north-
east of the northwest of section
11-5-9 Is virtnully completed and
while no gauge on the well lias been
pc.ir.Ible to this time it estimated
nt 100 barrel:i or over. The well
lia3 made sevorul strong flows und
workmen are busy setting a packer.
This well is In tho Ramsey Hod-
hind and Hetly O. Lickcy territory
and does much to prove tho sou'lh
fide of tho section line south of
Cement. Production is in the 2300
foot sand.
Is Important Test.
The other sure producer just land-
ed Is the Invincible Big Whip No. 4
In the southeast of the northwest
of section 105-9. Tins -well stopped
drilling at 2400 feet and oil h stand-
ing about 200 feet in the hole. They
have been balling out In tho clean-
ing process without lowering the
fhihl tn the hole. There Is some
mud in t;!;e bottom but. the . hole Is
In good shape and when cleaned It
li expected to be a flowing well for
a time.
Tins is decidedly an important test
i.;s it extends the pay territory to the
south half nearly a mile and makes
the acreage in flection doubly valu
able. Thi success of this test ere-
ct es much more iniercst In the test
cf the United Cement further to the
south and wet in the same section.
Setting Casing.
The United Cement No. 1 in the
northeast of die south west of sec
lion 10-'j-0 is drilling in with stand-
ard tools. The outfit struck a string
xif trouble on account of cavings and
H' became necessary to run an extra
rtring of 5 3-16 Inch casing before
the well could be completed. This
is being done now.
Tbo HoiuU-Okla near the Cement
depot in section 3-5-9 is setting tho
casing on the 2300 foot sand and will
drill in with standard tools.
Resume Deep Test.
The Magnolia company (having
taken over the Fortulia Interests Is
continuing with tho deep test on the
McLaren farm in section 6-5-9. The
Fortuna company had cemented this
well at 3100 feet at which point op
orations are being resumed by the
Magnolia with standard tools.-
The M.gnolia is doing a great deal
of new work in the west side of the
field. The company has a rig up
in the northeast of the northwest of
.potion 1-5-10 and is also testing out
new territory in the southeast of the
routheast of section 25-6-10 tills lo
cation being a rig.
In the extreme west the test ol
the Anadarko Producers is becom-
ing interesting. They !are down 1100
feet in the south half of ihe .south
Jialf of the southeast of section 26-C-10.
Other Operations.
The Cement Drilling company . has
spudded in its location on the Hold
ing strip just west of -the Frisco
tracks in section 3-5-9.
There is a report from the field
that the Expansion company in the
southwest of the southwest of sec-
tion 29-6-9 h'as struck oil. The depth
was not given but it the report is
true the sand must be between 180(
and 1900 feet a9 it is known that
they missed the 1S0O foot sand.
An interesting test Is that being
drilled by the Omaha Oil and Drill-
ing company in the southwest of the
