128 OIL FIELDS OF TEXAS-LOUISIANA COASTAL PLAIN, [bull. 212. 
extends in a southwest-northeast direction for a distance of about 3 
miles. The Jennings Oil Company's well No. 1 is located in sec. 46, 
T. 2 W., R. 9 S.., and most of the drilling has been confined to that 
and the adjoining section 47. Wells are in course of drilling toward 
the southwest along the supposed line of the anticline in sees. 42 and 
63 in the same township and range, No. 63 being a watered section of 
the older French method of surveys. Another well, that of the Home 
Oil and Development Company, has been drilled in sec. 44, T. 3 W., 
R. 9 S., about a mile and a half east of Jennings. Some oil has been 
reported from this well, but whether in commercial quantities has not 
been determined. In sec. 1, T. 3 W., R. 10 S., the Union Oil and 
Development Company has commenced to drill, and the Southern Oil 
Company's wells Nos. 1 and 2 arc located in the lower grounds, near 
the confluence of the two bayous, in sees. 33 and 34, T. 2 W., R. S. 
Wells Nos. 3 and 4 of this company are located near the Jennings 
No. 1.

Although no logs of these wells have thus far been obtained with 
any degree of definiteness, the statements made by Mr. Hey wood, of 
the Jennings-Heywood syndicate, one of the earliest drillers in this 
field, appear to show that the Jennings field is also situated upon the 
crest, or nearly so, of a deeply buried anticline.
