Gray County Leads Panhandle Oil With New Regional Peak
Gray County pools drive a regional daily oil average to a six figure level for the first time in two years. The Panhandle field gains 12 081 barrels in a week, with Gray County supplying 74 182 of 112 229 barrels for the district as Hutchinson and Carson counties also rise. The shift from Hutchinson to Gray suggests Gray may become the dominant pool soon, possibly within a week, as more pay zones come online.
