Show DRILLING FOR OIL HITS ANOTHER SNAG LEAKY CASING IS CAUSE OF HALT AT JAMES OIL WELL Drilling at the James oil well was forced to be suspended for a time again this week, when it was discovered' discov-ered' that flow of water was coming in through a leak in the casing. Repairs Re-pairs necessitated will mean a wait now of a few days, but drilling will be resumed possibly by the end of the week. From the appearance of the bailings, bail-ings, and the drilling tools after they were reeled up while the casing is being fixed, H. Kaminska stated that it was his belief that the drill was going go-ing into a layer of hard sandstone, of indeterminate depth. The level is somewhere around 3200 feet. |
