Humble Oil & Refiling Com-
pany and associates were pre-
paring Tuesday to begin an-
other strategic operation in the
area’s hotly pursued quest for
Smackover gas-condensate pro-
duction.
The new deep test is the No.
1 E. N. Adams, in northeast-
erg Rains County about mid-
way between Yantis and
Emory. Construction, of an ac-
cess road is almost completed.
Oil men viewed the wildcat
venture as an effort to pick
up the Smackover trend be-
tween two productive areas,
the. West Yantis field and the
lone Pilgrim’s Rest well com-
pleted in Rains County about
ten years ago and shut down j
since that time.
Adams described the location
as 2 G> miles west southwest
from Pan American Petroleum
Corporation’s No. t J. B. Mc-
Kee West Yantis discovery well
and about four miles north of
the Pilgrim's Rest Site, also
known as the Ginger well.
It is about 1 ’/a miles west of
Pan American’s unsuccessful
No. 1 Onease Spinks location. :
The Adams tract is about!
three-quarters of a mile west j
of the Wood County line and)
approximately two miles south
of the Hopkins County line in
the Giddings survey.
The test will be drilled in a
640-acre basic production unit. ]
Shelton to 10,000
While Humble was moving j
on its wildcat project, local oil
sources predicted early action
by Pan American on its latest
projected West Yantis develop-
ment, a test on another Mary S.
Niendorff tract west of the
present two producers in the i
field.
To the northeast of the W?st
Yantis field, drillers were ex-
pected to cross the 10,000 foot
mark Tuesday with Elba Cor-
poration’s No. 1 J. B. Shelton
Smackover test 3 *4> miles south-
west of Reilly Springs!
The, operation is in the Cot-
ton Valley formation.
Oil men estimated that on
the basis of drilling time re-
quired for the three West Yan-
tis tests, the Shelton is about
