1. GC: Now you have before you a well being drilled on the land of Madison Byron Wyrick in Bosque County, Texas. You will give the present depth at which they are drilling, the formation and the character of formation they will find in drilling deeper, the production that they will obtain of oil or gas and at whet depths. Tell us regarding the management and if this is the best location to get the best results.
2. EC: Yes, we have the land and well here. These lands we see we have had before. The location in which they are drilling is nearly seventy-six (76) feet to the South from the better place to have drilled. At the present time we find the depth from ground six hundred eighty-two (682) feet, drilling in lime shale, and some water stratas will be encountered soon; not over heavy and may be taken care of around the seventeen hundred (1700) foot depth. Not too good a job of this casing as set, should have been sacks and packer used in cutting off the water here - five hundred ninety (590).
3. As to the formations below, we will find shale and lime, and limestone, with changing to more the red bed formation and sand and lime and sand, twenty-two to twenty-three. We will find more water twenty-two eighty-seven (2287), with hard lime below. Keep home large as possible to the twenty-five hundred (2500) and twenty-six hundred (2600) foot depth. Oil will be encountered at the twenty-nine eighty (2980), with the twenty-nine ninety (2990) production of three to thirty-three hundred (3300) barrels of oil per day. Location farther to the North from this we would not have encountered as much trouble in water strata, nor as much hard drilling.
4. Some contentions with the operators and the supervisors regarding the holdings and the tools being operated with. This may be handled if handled in the proper manner. This can best be straightened out with those that are supervisors consulting together with the management. Those that are far away, you see, and land owners, land owner and land owners also. With the present amount of hole made, casing set, we would continue in the present operation.
