Deep Test in Reagan County Boosts Oil Prospects

Deep drilling on a 194000 acre block owned by the University of Texas shows slight oil in Big Lake Oil’s 6528 foot test. The rig now runs at about 6600 feet and aims for the 625 foot stratum, where Texan Oil and Land’s well has produced heavily. The Texas field’s deep stratum drives industry interest and a 24 hour record of 2597 barrels. Gas flow reached 28815000 cubic feet daily via a casing head line plant. Industry expects another crude price rise, with Colorado Springs tariff politics seen as a potential factor. Next Monday’s conference may signal shortages and price moves.
