Lamb county discovery and most
northerly producer in the Permian
Basin, and swabbing of 12 barrels of

C. R Alexander, northwestern Terry
county wildcat, focused the spotlight
in West Texas development this
week to the Plains near the New
Mexico line.
Locations also were spotted for a
wildcat each in Gaines. Glasscock
and Ward counties and for two out-
posts to the Ownby pool in east ces-

the bottom, 7,750 feet in shale, and
prepared to run 7-lnch casing to the
bottom for cementing. The pipe
will be perforated opposite lower
Permian lime from which 200 feet of
oU and gas-cut mud. 500 feet of
tree oil and 20 feet of water were
recovered early in October on a
65-minute drillstem teat from 7,537-
99 feet. Sticking of casing at 6,600
feet and cutting and recovering it
by sections has delayed testing.
