JU The Strip wells are pretty well scattered out* The closest one is half a nils, and It was further from the rest of them—from one-half to possibly three miles* Q. These three or four wells you mentioned yesterday while Mr . Gannon was examining you, are they ©Id wells—can you say when the original permits were issued b© drill them? .A# The permits were Issued ©a Kamy Searles well prior to 1946* The Miller well, 1 think, was in 1947, and the Hoger well was issued in early 1948, but they were all Issued for small amounts due to the fact that their acreage was fairly small, and the amount of water applied for Is regulated by the amount of land you intend to cover* i» it the time these were first drilled and permits were issued, do you know what the production was? A* I stated yesterday, 1 think the Kenny Searlea well was 360 gallons a minute when it came in. Sine® 1946, or 1945— I think it was drilled in 1946—that flow lessened off until Kenny didn’t have Ms required amount of water under Ms right, and he, therefore, deepened hi® well and encountered this large flow* Q* How, does a man have to get a permit to deepen a well?
