Field notes describe multiple vertical wells in Gaines and Andrews Crockett Coke, with discoveries in Montoya and Montoya area tests. Record oil and gas shows include Pennsylvanian and Wolfcamp zones, with notable flow rates and frac stages as operators target Devonian and Spraberry formations.
Oil recovery at the Lynn wildcat near Slaton shows decreased output with 3 percent oil at the Tuesday recovery and 1 percent at the Glorieta perforations. No. 17-B Anne B. Miller near Yoakum County reports 25 percent new oil, while the Wolf kamp test remains shut in for pressure testing.
Reports detail oil production gains offset by summer demand and a weekly drop in stocks. Tests from the Abo area include a 98 barrel per hour flow and a 50 barrel per hour rate, with multiple drillstem tests reaching depths around 6,700 feet and plans for continued testing near Mallamar and southeast of Ar-Oil regions.
A garbled OCR list records numerous oil and land survey notes across Texas locations and sections, mentioning doings near Colambwe Gray, Andrewe WINGLER-Texacy Inc, ROOSEVELT NM, Goldsboro, Sweetwater, Girvin, Nolan, and Brown & Thorp firms. Entries include section, township, and range identifiers, wildcat mentions, reentry notes, and parcel cues with varied directions and distances.

A garbled OCR list mixes spots, owners, subsurface terms, and grid references tied to Texas oil parcels. Names such as Andrews, Texaco, Texaco Inc, Benin, Parker appear among distances, acreages, and product codes. The text resembles a land and lease ledger with scattered company and location hints.
A garbled OCR note mentions false teeth, powder, and a suggestion to sprinkle a substance on powdery surfaces. It references footing in alkaline fumes and a warning against lying or sitting to rock or slip. The text is fragmented and unclear.
