ABSTRACT
The Arizona-New Mexico part of the Four Corners platform, and the New Mexico part of the San Juan basin showed a 60 per cent increase in well completions in 1955 over the previous year. Most of the increase resulted from the prospect of additional gas outlets. Twenty-one of the 61 New Mexico wildcats were completed as commercial wells, including 13 gas and 8 oil wells. These discoveries were all made in Upper Cretaceous sands.
Higher production rates were obtained in gas wells by a refinement of the sand-oil and sand-water fracturing treatments.
