1. GC: Now you will have before you the well being drilled on the land owned by Madison Byron Wyrick in Bosque County, Texas. You will please given us the present depth to which this well is drilled, and the depth with the log that will be necessary to drill before they reach production, giving the volume of production that will be obtained, and the approximate value of the field, counting this as a discovery well, and tell us how long it should take a drill to the production, and if there are any unusual conditions, or hazards, to overcome before reaching production. You will answer any other questions that may be asked before you will say, "We are through."
2. EC: The present depth to which this has been drilled is thirty-nine hundred twenty-one (3921) feet from the top of the ground.
3. The present formation we see is of heavy black lime, and through this some twenty-nine (29) feet we will again encounter a hard formation, breaking into a gray shale, with sand and lime, and through this some thiry-two (32) feet we will find the heavier grayer and black lime, and through this fifty-eight (58) feet we would encounter the production. It will be heavy gas pressure and producing in the beginning between three (3,000) and thirty-five hundred (3,500) barrels of oil, being 38.5/8 gravity, and will increase after this begins to flow.
4. The cost of this well, as we see, in proportion to the value of the field, will be as one to fifteen hundred. The extent of the field will be large, though the depths are of the nature that makes production higher. The character of the drilling is good, and the troubles that may be encountered are from gas pressure, or from the troubles of carrying too much water when gas begins, and this clogging tools or sand lines. These we would be careful of.
5. Drill in, in the manner as has been outlined, and we will find the production, and will be worth the trouble as has been expended on these operations.

6. (Q) Approximately, how long will it take to drill to production? (A) Five to six days of drilling. There will be some changes to be made in position of engines, fires, etc., that takes time, you see.
7. (Q) Will you give us any more information that will insure the success of this well? (A) Follow these. We will be assured of success.
