Southwest Land Leased For Oil In Virginia Survey
Virginia state financed magnetometer survey of the Southwest tip prompts leases on over one million acres for oil exploration. State Geologist James L. Calver says the plan, approved by Gov. J Lindsay Almond Jr, will cost about 35000 dollars and leases at 50 cents to 1 dollar per acre could mean over half a billion dollars in payments. The aerial survey, from Hicksville Bland and Wytheville westward, targets magnetic anomalies to locate possible oil or gas deposits, with further testing needed for confirmation. Major oil firms are among lessees along the Virginia West Virginia Kentucky borders.
