DRILLING FOR OIL
IN CULROSS
(Teeswater .News)
When operations were commenced
on the farm of Warner Smyth, Cul-
ross, in a'quest for natural gas or oil,
.folks hereabouts were pessimistic. By
many this is just not oil country. They
may be right, but partly, at left st, they
are wrong,
For some weeks now drillers have
been busily engaged sinking a test well,
The latter part of last week they near
ed the 1,000 foot mark, and signs of
oil became evident. The rock brought
to the surface was heavy with the
black substance and each time the
drill was brought to the surface it was
covered also. The drillers expressed
surprise at such signs at only 1,000
feet, as usually it requires a depth of
at least 1,200 feet before evidence ap
pears—’that is, if there is oil to be
found.
Three major companies, Union Gas,
Dominion Gas, and Imperial Oil, are
said to be the interested parties doing
the financing.
Definitely, there is oil at the site
ofc 'drilling, how much or how little
is yet to be revealed. If there is not
a commercial quanitity it will be cap
ped, just as dozens and dozens of other
wells are. On the other hand there
is a -chance there may be enough to
make promotion well worth while. In-
the meatime drilling operations , con
tinue.
