TEXT

1. GC: You will have before you the property and operations of the A. V. Oil and Gas Co., located at Dundee, in Monroe County, Michigan and the enquiring mind of [261], ... Bldg., N.Y.C., who sought information through this channel on this property and operations on November 26, 1937 and March 14, 1938. You will answer the questions submitted now on these operations.
2. EC: (In undertone, "The enquiring mind and the properties are a long way apart, aren't they?")
3. Yes, we have the information which has been given respecting the operations and the properties; also the enquiring mind of [261].
4. Ready for questions.
5. (Q) As was recommended through this channel a new well has been started some 600 feet to the southeast of the last operations and is down now over 1000 feet. There seems to be some confusion in the information given in the two readings previously received as to the proper depth for the best oil and gas production in the new well. The first reading seemed to indicate that the necessary depth would be 368 feet below the operations in the last well which would make the necessary depth of the new well about 2100 feet. The last reading indicated that it would be necessary to go to 3900 to 4200 feet. Please clarify this information and tell us what depth it would be necessary to drill this new well to obtain the best production.
   (A) That indicated in the first was for the specific location in which there were the activities or the operations at the time. The last was for the general conditions for the highest production of the field which would be necessary in other locations, and to a greater depth or to the lower sands. As for the operations asked concerning in the present, it is for commercial evaluation to the depth as indicated.
   We will not find a great variation in the character of the formations in the present operation (Now, don't confuse the two!). There will not be a great deal of change in the formations or the stratums that will be encountered, though we will find below - or down - after the 1875 we will find a grate or a very HARD sand, see? or the formation for the greater production in the 2100 or 2178-79 feet.
   However, the greater production - considering the whole field, you see would be to a much lower sand.
6. We are through for the present.
