Edgar Cayce Readings, 4203-2

Time and Place: 12:00 Noon - Eastern Standard Time. Township 21 North, Range 6 East, near Bastrop, Louisiana.

GC: You will give the depth below sea level that gas and oil will be found, also the quantity that may be obtained, at what depth to set casing, what trouble may be encountered with water in well now being drilled by the United Carbon Company.
EC: Yes - this district, these conditions as surround operations, or attempted operations in this district, we have had before.
As has been outlined, the greater trouble that will be experienced in operations in these fields is the close proximity of water, salt and fresh, to the producing area; yet, were those waters as are encountered in the 1890 to 2300 foot depth cased off, there will be in the 2980 to 3200 foot depth below the level, sufficient oil and gas obtained to make this an especially well paying proposition for those seeking same. The quantity running to twenty to thirty million cubic feet gas, with sufficient oil to pay for operations.
We are through.

3/31/28 Letter from Mr. [943]: "...Will you please give the following reading covering the Monroe Louisiana field on which you gave a reading sometime ago [4203-1, 1/14/28]. We are interested in adjoining property to the well now being drilled and the information wanted will help us work out a proposition with the United Carbon Co. who is drilling the well so that we may get started on our well in Florida within the next 30 to 40 days. The question is as follows: You will have before you Section 18, Township 21 North, Range 6 East near Bastrop, Louisiana, and you will give depth below Sea level that gas and oil will be found and quantity to be obtained and at what depth to set casing and what trouble will be encountered with water in well now being drilled by the United Carbon Company."
