No Gas Field Near Alpine Report Says None Within 30 Miles
BudlAny vis mien well acquired with production in West Texas says they know of no natural gas field within 30 miles of Alpine. C Terrell of Angleton told the Alpine City Council of an assured gas supply nearby. Nearest possibility is the Hunt Elsinore wildcat in southwest Pecos County near the Brewster line, drilled to 13,000 feet with little information. Two Hunt wells near Puckett Field produce about a million cubic feet daily, considered poor, with gas piped to the Puckett field to keep leases. The Elsinore is expected to reach 15,000 feet.
