1. GC: You will tell us how the operations may be carried on in the present hole to insure success, telling us the formations and the kind of obstructions are in the hole, and how is the best way to handle this.
2. EC: Yes, we have the operations here. This we have had before.
3. Now, while the conditions as have surrounded these operations have become that nature as to be exasperating to many, yet we find conditions in the hole, or well itself, in that condition wherein - while troubles will be experienced in the operating - the success of same may be assured by the careful handling of conditions at the present time.
4. IN the handling of the obstruction, this we find is a portion of the casing, and that the width of the obstruction will increase to some extent until near half the cutting edge will show on tools. This, then, may be handled by either continuing to pound up the metal, or by use of acid - which would expedite conditions to some extent, yet increasing the liability of there being an accident to tools.
5. The care in operation is that there be no hanging up and losing of tools by striking a portion of the hollow incasing and tools full in diameter but blunt and sharp cutting edges - that is, the dubbing of bit be shortened, see?
6. In the depth, we find there will only be a few more feet of the hard obstruction. Then twenty-one (21) feet should bring the operations to the bottom of hole, with the less than thirty-one (31) feet of new hold to make before that stratum of lime - black lime - shows the oil in its natural state, for in or near the bottom of hole will be seen the indications of the oil seeping in. Do not become over anxious at the renewed indications of the ultimate success, but show care and caution as gas and oil begin to rise in the hole.
7. Following these, we will make the success as has been given.
8. We are through with this reading.
