Oil Prospect Report From Centralia Well
Dr Bateman received a Centralia paper on a local oil field in southern Illinois. Promoters of the Lange wisch farm well are optimistic about a new producer after drilling about 600 feet from an older well ruined by a bad shot that yielded 10 000 to 15 000 barrels. The current well sits around 1000 feet deep and may strike Beno'st sand by week’s end, the same sand that feeds Sandoval wells.
