Show BAILER STARTS FLOW AT WELL Efforts at Cleaning Bore Brings Voluntary Vol-untary Yield of 58 Barrels an Hour Moah, Utah. A flow of oil by heads recently from the Utah Oil Refining-Utah Refining-Utah Southern-Midwest Exploration companies' pioneer well on the Cane creek structure at the rate of fifty-eight fifty-eight barrels an hour, or 1400 barrels daily, gave another hint of what might be expected of Utah's first gusher when the water is shut -off and the sand at 2024 feet is pierced. In order to ascertain what would be the best method of securing a thorough test of the well and shutting off the water, a seriog of conferences relative to the question were held recently, re-cently, H. B. Carnahan, Jr., bureau of mines engineer; H. C. Bretschneider, vice president of the Midwest company; com-pany; A. W. Peake, division superintendent; superin-tendent; L. L. Bechtel, field superintendent; superin-tendent; R. C. Coffin, chief geologist; John C. Howard, president of the Utah Oil Refining company; G. T. Hansen, president and J. L. Dougan, field superintendent of the Utah Southern Oil company, joined in these meetings. As a result, a bailer was run into the well to clean off the bottom. |
