(Q) LS: What is the most economical method of removing the
casing from oil well drilled 2-1/2 miles north of Kopperl,
Tex.?
(A) EC: Yes, we have had this before. The conditions that
have been produced within the hole itself to remove or
preparatory to removing the casing from the well have been
improved somewhat. There is a possibility of at present
removing the casing from the well by using the jars and
making these of greater length and taking hold of the casing
and jarring it loose. That is, the center casing, see?
There has been some funny work about this. Not all
straight, you see. Some bad incentives from some of those
that have been working this before. Conditions have been
somewhat improved, not straight yet. Needs to be someone
else higher in authority to be on the ground, for there are
some bad conditions between some of those operating, and some
of those having charge of operations. Clear these up.
This may be removed with loss of some of the casing, not a
great amount. Properly handled, with the extra length jar,
see? Use in jarring loose the casing which has become
imbedded by the continual drain of water and sediment from
the outside, and bad conditions produced by heavy vibration
produced below, see?
(Q) Would it be more profitable to drill another well in
the Kopperl pool north the present well in location given
previously in a reading, or move the equipment to the pool
northwest of Duffan, Tex., given in previous reading?
(A) When the conditions regarding the property rights and
lease holdings have been set proper. The better plan would
be to move to other location or that in the Duffan [Duffau]
vincinty, (see?) as has been given, unless these conditions
are properly and legally set, done. There is some contention
among those that are interested that show the condition. As
has been outlined, your success in production will be the
better factor in giving the satisfaction to everyone
interested, and with the proper handling the Duffan [Duffau]
location will bring success sooner, for financial conditions
may arise that would give a great deal of anxiety to many
concerned in drilling in the Kopperl territory, for that is
deeper you see. Weigh those well. Act on these as outlined.
Do that.
(Q) Which of the two would be least expensive and more
easily financed?
(A) We have given it, conditions must be set.
