The Ohio Oil company reached oil at 2,910 feet on section 32-36-65 near Richards and Comstock ranch in the Lusk creek field and plans to drill lower sands unless production remains strong. The well sits far west of the field, near the divide between Lance Creek and Little Lightning, with Little Lightning creek in the leased area.
