Oil field notes glimpse belt shifts and wells near progress
The report surveys oil activity with No 1 well producing about 70 barrels daily while No 2 lags, suggesting an eastern pool. Upcoming wells include Porter & Sheldon Kane Oil Co on lot 426 and Craig & Cappneau No 2 area near several gauges. Veins of uncertainty appear as sand proximity and shaft breakage affect dates, with Associated Producers and Union Oil wells described as key markers while several prospects remain “mystery” yet potentially sound.
