OIL NOTES
(By LLOYD C. THOMAS)
Alliance men continue to be active
ly interested in the development of
the eastern Wyoming and western
Nebraska ani South Dakota oil
fields. The Boyd-Feaglns syndicate,
which brought In the gusher on sec
tion 24-46-64, Osage field, has made
arrangements for drilling two addi
tional wells and are organizing to
prosecute the rvork during the winter
months. The pipe line crosses their
holdings and they will hr.vo no trou
ble In marketing production 83 fast
as t-r cured.
The Midv.est camp on section 11-46-64,
Osago fle'.d. is being moved in
its entirety to the northwest quarter
of section 19-46-63, the quarter sec
tion which was rocen'ly purchased by
the Midwest coi.ipr.ny from J. O.
Walker and associates ' of Alliance
and on which a good well was
brought In a few weeks ago. The
consideration pa'd by the Midwest
for this "160-acre tract was not given
out but it was reported to be in six
figures, besides a heavy royalty.
The Mississippi-Delta company's
two-mil Hon-foot gasser, on section
24-46-64, Osage field, has shown no
dimtnishment in flow or pressure
since being brought in two months
apo. Gas from this well is being
used for fuel for a large number of
drilling rigs. This well was brought
in on ground leased from the Wykota
company, which is controlled by
Newcastle, Omaha and Alliance men.
That the state of Nebraska may
eventually find itself with as large
an Income as Wyoming now receives
from oil royalties is a distinct pos
sibility, due to the fact that Nebraska
owns two sections out of every
township in practically the entire
western half of the state. Drilling
is now going on near Bassett and
which 1b expected to start early next
year, near Agate, Alliance and other
points, should prove whether or not
the western half of the state Is
underlaid with the Dakota sand
stone, which is reached at depths of
from 200 to 3,000 feet In Wyoming,
carries oil at some points and wafer
at others. In Wyoming It Is under
laid at practically all points by the
Lakota sandstone at about one hun
dred feet deeper. The Lakota is
found to contain oil throughout
Wyoming and Montana. The drilling
going on in Nebraska will show
whether or not the Dakota carries
water or oil and whether i( is under
lain by the Lakota and whether It
carries oil or water.
The McWhorter refinery at Ohiip
Is handling a large amount of local
production and its output Is rapidly
increasing. The payroll of the refin
ery Is reported to be over 16,000 per
month. The company expects to have
five mjleB of pipe line completed from
points in the field to Osage before
freezing weather, according to offic
ials. The same people are erecting
a refinery at Moorcroft. Omaha
capital is reported to be the control
ing factor In this company.
The oil well b trtg drilled r.t It'ver
ton, in Franklin county, Is showing
good prospects at a depth 'of 975
feet. Although no flow of oil has
been encountered the sands now
being drilled are showing oil In
some quantities.
If the fact of fosslliferous remains of
prehistoric anlmuls give anv m-m."
of oil assurance no more promising
area could be desired than that in
this locality. The test well will be
put down by the Associated Oil com
pany with a large Standard r g.
The Minnesotn-Wyoi.iirg. .'rilMn
on section 19-39-61, in Mie 'nr
portion cf the Mule Creek field, are
fishing for tools at a depth of 2,640
feet. They were reported to have
gone through the Dakota water sand,
cased It off, and to be within 40 feet
of the oil benrlr.g lakota snr.d w!.en
they lost their tools. The comple
tion of this well would prove not oitly
1,200 acres held by th's company In
that vicinity but would prove 2.680
acres held under lease near this wll
by the Wyoming-Northeastern Oil
company of Alliance. The latter
company has suspended drilling on
section 20-39-61, pending repairs and
the installation of a larger rig. The
recent discovery of oil In Agate
Basin, in the eastern part of the Mule
Creek field, lends strongly to the
theory that oil will be found In large
quantities In the w stern portion of
the field in which the nbeve compan
ies are heavily interested.
The drillers of the test well being
put down at Bassett, in Rock coun
ty, claim to have struck on oil sand
at a depth of 1,200 feet which
would have yielded fifteen barrels a
day production under the pump. This
well is being drilled close to a
former well In which the tools were
lost at a depth or 1916 feet. Drill
ing is expected to continue to a
depth of 3,000 feet unless paying
production is reached at a shallower
depth.
The ltnS'ng ef '"ni - r ' urn,.
pecting around Alliance continues at
a rapid rate. .Most of the leases
secured rtqulre thr.t development
wo-k b started early next year. The
test well will come when the expira
tion dates approacli on these leases.
