Meryman No 3 Well in Patoka Oil Field Reports Progress
The Meryman No 3 well near Patoka drilled by Geo Farl Ang Drilling Co for Adams Louisiana Co and Felmont Corp reached oil sand at 1629 feet with a new lumberger instrument testing porosity and density. The Bakersfield line and Haliburton Co provided casing and repair services. The well joins two earlier producers on the Meryman farm and a Waukasha rotary on well No 4 advances toward Benoist sand. A wider Patoka oil boom appears likely with multiple wells in reach and expectations of further strikes nearby.
