Fuel Wildcat Well In Colorado Blows In AT&T Replants Areas Used For A wildcat well Mountain Fuel Supply Company is drilling in southwestern Colorado encountered oil and gas at a depth of 5,921 feet and then blew the 9.1 n drilling mud out of the hole, it was reported by B. Z. Kastler, Company president. The well is flowing under control to the pits with the preventers closed through two flow lines with 34-inc- h chokes, Mr Kastler said. Volume of the gas is estimated at 8 million cubic feet per day with some light green oil. Back pressure behind the chokes is 500 pounds per square inch Heavier weight drilling mud is being mixed to kill the flow. Known as the McClean Basin well No. 2, the wildcat is located about 20 miles south of Dove Creek. Colo, and 6 miles east of state boundthe Colorado-Uta- h ary line. Production was encountered in the Desert Creek member of the Paradox formation at a depth of 5,921 feet. Top of this formation is at 5,909 feet which indicates that only 12 feet of the formation was penetrated. Estimated thickness of the zone is 25 to 30 feet. Mountain Fuel is drilling the well on a farmout from Mobil Oil Corporation as a part of an arrangement to earn a 50 percent interest in approximately 250.000 acres in the Greater Piute Knoll area covering portions of southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah. The McClean Basin prospect covers approximately 26,000 acres of which Mountain Fuel will earn 50 percent interest in 20.000 acres in the Mobil farmout. A total of 6,000 acres in the prospect are owned 100 percent by Mountain Fuel Supply 1,280 acres of which offset the McClean Basin well No. Burying Transcontinental Cable pounds-per-gallo- 2-in- jlndian craftsmen like this potter will be featured in the Great West Fair in connection with the Festival of the American West at Utah State University July 24 - August 3.

It is the goal of the Utah Heart Association to solve the riddle of heart disease. All research grants are supported by the Heart Fund Drive held each February. The Montana Heart Association is also presently supporting grants at the University of Utah. The total from Montana will be approximately $12,000 for the coming year.

The natural grasses and brush have been replanted completely covering the cable path in the canyon. In one area where the cable crossed the river, only poles marking the route give evidence that anyone other than campers and fishermen have passed that way. Lush alfalfa and grain crops sway in the breeze and cattle graze in pastures on grass replanted over the subterranean route through Cache Valley. The market poles appear occasionally near fences in fields and in open areas in the canyon to warn diggers of the buried lines. So concealed is the line, however, that two workmen from Hyrum. Utah couldnt give the location of the cable path, although it passed within 70 yards of their work site.

This reduced the required y width from 50 to 25 feet and lessened the initial impact on the environment. Trecnhing was needed only in rocky areas. Two large bulldozers combined to plow the conduit four feet underground. The ground heaved upward around the plow and tubing, then settled back in place over the buried tube. 1116 topsoil remained intact and few rocks were brought to the surface. The coaxial cable was later pulled into the conduit and spliced together at regular intervals. The Bell System and Mountain Bell have a continuing program of restoring the landscape to its natural setting by replanting and by removing telephone poles. Last year, Mountain Bell removed 7,850 poles from the Utah environment. Ninety-fou- r percent of all new or replaced telephone cable in the state is buried or pulled underground in conduit.
