Ada Oil Developments in 1937 by Months

The Ada area saw rapid oil activity in 1937 with January wildcat starters Carter No. 1 Warne and Delaney No. 2 Alexander. Muse No. 1 tested Wilcox south of the Fitts field as Ramsey No. 1 Johnson probed Viola lime. Fittsfield's pools grew and production neared 1.37 million barrels, while Cosden Pipeline expanded gas output. February to March tracked continued drilling, with Clarke County wildcats, Hunton and Cromwell pools expanding, and new developments near Citra and Steedman. April through October featured prolific completions, new pools, and shifting focus as Cromwell and Hunton spreads increased, Claytor and Magnolia wells added, and industry players invested in acreage, pipelines, and processing plants. By October to December, Ada area activity cooled in drilling but strong gas flows persisted, with several Wilcox and Cromwell ties and a carbon black plant proposed at Magnolia.
