New Oil Pool Extended ,
Into Young County By
Nelson Syndicate, Graham
GRAHAM. TEXAS. MONDAY. JANUARY 8. 1948.
NUMBER 119
A new well, which is expected to
extend production nearly a mile
further west into Young county, is
nearing completion by The Nelson
Oil Syndicate of Graham.
This test is W. G. Blount No. 1
and is about a mile west of the
Young-Jack county line, and is just
south of the railway underpass on
the Graham-Jacksboro highway.
The test -Monday morning was
4300 feet, with a fishing job on
hand. The nearest production is
nearly a mile east, being, Taubert-
McKee's Shanafelt No. 1, which is
an offset to a producer belonging
to The Nelson Oil Syndicate.
This concern has had splendid
success in that area extending pro-
duction which makes development
there of more interest to Young
county, the pool having been ex-
tended from Jack county westward
into Young's Birdwell No. 1.
Nelson's Birdwell No. 1 well,
completed in August of last year to
a total depth of 4408 feet was giv-
en an official1 test of 1,616 barrels
per day. Since that time, the fifth
well has been spudded with two of
them now approaching the crucial
stage
The Nelson Oil Syndicate is com-
posed of s group of Texas and Min-
nesota men interested in oil. They
spent almost half a million dollars
in drilling wells in other counties
before acquiring that first tract of
493 acres Sept. 19, 1937.
At that time, not a well was drill-
ing in Jack county. The first 19
wells drilled by the firm paid off
either oil or gas. Out of that num-
ber, 16 were oilers good for aa av-
erage of 300 barrels daily. The
other three were commercial gasaers.
One old gentleman, known at Bry-
son as Mac, who was very helpful
to Nelxrui in getting a meeting of
fbur other landowners in the rear of
a pool hall there, died before the
flint well *a. completed: —”
J. E. Henderson, Bill Etherly, Jim
Kinder and John Birdwell met with
Nelson and Mac for the acreage on

Fostered by the Rotary Club the

Graham was toastmaster and intro-
duced several speakers during the
dinner. He expressed his personal
appreciation of the National Guard
and those coming to Graham the
past week end for firing practice
and asked Col. Harold J Wetter,
special honor guest, what chances
Graham might have to secure a Na-
tional Guard unit.
S. A Penix gave the formal ad-
dress of welcome on behalf of Gra-
ham. W. D McFarlane spoke also
in appreciation for the officers and
of the Guard, and praised the work
of Col. Weiler.
Col. Weiler gave an interesting
historical account of the National
Guard and its relationship to the
National defense and said that at
present there is no provision for ad-
ditional units but declared there
may be an occasion for more cow-
little later,
at which time Graham might have
a good chance to secure such aa
organisation.
