The test indicates substantial yield from the Devonian formation with a favorable sand interval in the depleted area.
Rice University acquired royalty interests totaling about 750 dollars for 38 royalty acres in two sections within a Fort Worth area oil field. The deal, via 12 deeds, conveys rights to 28 acres in section 15 and 10 acres in section 48 in block ON, TTRR survey. Also mentions Devonian and Pennsylvanian formations and production potential. Separately, a cave diver in Australia claims a world record stay underground of 50 days in Nyilst Cave, planning to remain until Wednesday.
The report describes a Pecos area gas test with a deep Ellenburger discovery at a site northeast of Ne TSC Terrell. Drilling data show gas and oil potential, test depths around 21.4 percent, with流 aberto pressures and a 2447 pounds estine flow, indicating possible production in the Ellenburger formation.
An Indian Field report notes an oil indication in the Lower Mississippi region near Dawson and Devens Field. Measurements describe a 209 foot depth south and east from a reference point with perforations yielding oil content around 60 percent and lead water at minimum levels.

Stonewall operator Stonewall James G Brown and Assoc will attempt to perforate and complete a gas well about 20 miles north of Aspern in north central Stonewall County on the Pennsylvanian zone. The test will target depths around three thousand feet with casing and cementing planned to reach a substantial pay zone amid storm conditions. A preliminary assessment lists depth measurements and nearby formation notes as part of the operation.
