FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1922 DRILLING OF NEW WELLS SHOWS JUMP Overproduction and normal consumption of oil in California and the recent reduction in the price of crude oil at the well do not appear to have curtailed drilling activity in the new fields of Los Angeles and Orange-cos. During the week ending August 5, 1922, 48 notices to drill new wells were filed with State Oil and Gas Supervisor R. E. Colliom, as compared with 33 during the previous week.

During the week ending April 9, 1921, 49 notices were filed, 14 of which, however, were for wells in the shallow Conjojo field in Ventura county. Of the 48 notices filed during the week ending August 5, 1922, 22 were for new wells in the Long Beach field, 8 in the Huntington Beach field, 7 in the Santa Fe Springs field, and 3 in Los Angeles county outside of the proved fields. Of the remaining 8 notices, 6 were for wells in the Midway, Elk Hills and Sunset fields, in Kern county, 1 in the Ventura field, Ventura county, and 1 in Mendocino county. Only 16 of the notices were filed by the larger operating companies. The total new wells this year is 839, as compared with 886 the same date last year. Tests for water shut-off this week numbered 29, as compared with 38 during the previous week. Yearly total to date 1021, total to same date last year 961.
