Oils Stand Still as Wells Progress in Butler County
In Butler county during the first week of June oil operations showed modest progress with few dry holes. Wells like Cummings & Boland on the John Kennedy farm near Mars produced up to 200 barrels per day before tapering, while others such as Jervecsonw CexTen-Phillips No 1 and Fisher Of Company No 2 yielded smaller flows. Across the Zelienople and Muddy Creek districts activity included several rigs on the Kinley, Caldwell, Allen, and Snyder farms, with varying production, seine sand shows, and ongoing drilling. A wildcat on the James Todd line near Shannopin was noted, and the Cordage Association cut the price of cordage by a half-cent per pound. Market data reflected subdued activity with no sales or bids and steady refinery rates.
