Oil drilling venture seeks investors with low capital stock

A Walnut Springs group announces a lease and turnkey drilling plan in the Duke and Burkburnett fields. They propose to raise stock of about 20 000 dollars or more, plus 5 000 dollars emergency stock, to fund a 45 000 dollar turnkey well and related costs. They promise no promoter stock or agent fees and seek friends to share in profits with minimal risk.

Lease Agreement Secures Drilling Contract Basis

The split then becomes seven sixteenths to the seller and seven sixteenths retained, with the landowner’s one eighth royalty excluded from the formula.
