Fifty wells were completed in the Indiana fields last week with an initial production of 1871 barrels. The Muncie field slightly led Huntington counties in well count, but strong wells raised the average output there to 98 barrels, while old fields averaged 231 barrels per well. All new wells were productive.
A Muncie special reports the transfer of Republic Oil’s holdings in the Muncie field to Standard Oil, with Standard now in charge. The selling price is not disclosed, but may exceed the previously offered million dollars. Standard field managers replace Republic managers across the district, and about 200 producing wells with an average 2000 barrels daily production are sold.
