v/itn these 1 actors in mind, but realising that His
Highness v/oulo. doubtless wish a declaration to be made as
soon as possible, Directors had agreed to reconsider the
question immediately information from No. 3 well became

inch casing will shortly be set and the well will then be
c billed into and through the reservoir. If oil is found
in this well also, casing will be set throughout the oil
sands which will be tested from the bottom upwards by gun

is the oost that can be adopted for the development of the
oil resources of His Highness* territory.
Directors wish me to stress that the procedure for
N°. 3 well outlined above will be carried out with all
expedition. It is their great hope that the results of the
drilling and examination of the well, taken in conjunction
with infformation already obtained, will enable them to make
a declaration that oil has been found in commercial
