Oil Notes
Concerning the Bolton well In the
Voinon Spider field, one of the Cas
per newspapers had the following to
say In a recent Issue: "Although the
storage tanks were erected on a hill
about twenty-five fret above the
ground, when the tubing was set yes
terday, oil flowed fro mthe Poison
Spider Bolton well Into the storage
tanks on the first real test of pro
duction of this well. It was first
thought that the oil would have to
be pumped Into the tanks, but the
free heavy flow caused the field man
ager to take a chance on a flowing
well, resulting in the oil flowing at
capacity through the pipes. The
company Is stringing toops on the
new standard rig which will be used
to test the lower oil sands which are
known to underlie the field besides
the formation now proving such a
lucrative producer. Before the first
of April it Is expected that five holes
will be drilling besides the first hole,
which is returning such a heavy flow.
Arrangements have been tentatively
completed for the construction of a
pipeline from the Bolton field to the
Midwest Refining at Casper."
