OIL AND GAS IN OKLAHOMA.
Report of Investigation Issued by Uni
ted States Geological Survey.
In the early part of 1912, Robert II.
Wood, of the United States Geological
survey, made, an investigation of the
oil and gag developments in north-central
Oklahoma, visiting localities where
producing wells and test holes had been
sunk. Ilia report lias just been issued
by the survey as bulletin 531-11, a copy
of which niav be obtained on applica
tion to the Director of the Survey at
Washington, 1). C. In addition to col-
lectin? well data, Mr. Wood made some
observations on the structure and char
acter of the formations exposed at the
surface. Nearly all the information con
cerning the wells was furnished either
by oil companies .(jr. by local citizens.
The region -included in the report
comprises lands formerly within the
Pawnee, Otoe, Ponca, Kaw, and Tonka
wa Indian reservations. The principal
towns within the area are Guthrie, Paw
nee, Perrv, Ponca, Newkirk, and IHaek
well. - .' -
Oil has been known east of these res
ervations, in the Cherokee and Creek
nations, since the late eighties. Develop
ment started in tlx? vicinity of Alluwe,
liartletsville, and Musbgee in the early
mineties, but little was done until the day.

earlv part of the last decade. In 1000
the famous Glenn pool, near Sapulpa,
was discovered and it proved to be a
phenomenal producer. . Encouraged by
results obtained in these fields prospec
tors soon began drilling farther west
and in the region embracing the five
Indian reservations mentioned. Foreign
capitalists have sunk a number of holes
in widely separated localities, and many
local companies have drilled in an ef
fort to reach oil or gas.
Jn the opinion of Mr. Wood this area
must regarded as possibly oil produc
ing, because iln the first place, all the
productive sands of the main field to he
cast dip under the area at a low angle,
and the lowest sand at the deepest
point in the western part should not
be more than 4.200 feet beneath the
surface; and in the second place, there
are a large number of sanda throughout
the area, nearly all of which, from the
highest at Ponsa to the lowest at
Cleveland, have been productive in aome
locality or other, and several sands
have been found to be productive in
the same veil. The fact that a num
ber of dry holes have been reported can
not condemn even the immediate region
around them, because very few of the
wells are deep enough to be thorough
tests. Besides, owning to the variabili
ty in thickness and porosity of the sand,
in developed territory dry holes are com
mon alongside producers, and even near
gushers. Therefore the prospects for
the development of a number of pools
in this area Beem to be good. To pre
vent unnecessary loss of money in
fruitless and expensive drilling wells
should be located with careful regard
to the geologieal structure.
