More On Wells
Although it is unknown at this time
what's happening at the wildcat oil
well drilling on the G. Mayfield land
south ot Mackenzie lake in Briscoe
County, it can be reported that two
more oil wells will be drilled in this
area.
Under application to re-enter a well
drilled in 1952. the following report
has been filed:
Swisher (Wildcat) Boone A Moore
Oil Co.. No. I Allen Johnson (320 ae)
hbO' from South A: East line. Sec.
11b.M-10.ABAM. 18 mi northeast
from Tulia. PD 5400". start on ap-
proval.
Although it has not been confirmed,
it is thought that the drilling rig that is
about finished on the G. Mavficld
property will move a short distance
east and drill another well on the
Pascal Garrison land.
The Mayfield wildcatter is consider-
ed a “tight hole" so nothing official
has been reported, except drilling
depth to be 9500 feet.
One observer said easing pipe had
been unloaded on the Mayfield site,
which indicates the possibilities of a
producing oil well.
