Coulsen Oil Discovery in Montague County Draws Attention
One of the region’s largest oil producers is reported on the Coulsen heirs 56 acre tract six miles east of Bowie in Montague County. Bluff Creek Oil Company drilled the Coulsen well in the M A Bone Survey south of the Stewart Lewis field with an estimated 1500 to 2000 barrels per day potential. Initial tests showed rapid gas and oil flow with no water, and a new pay horizon at depth 6386 feet. The well, tied to a long owned family property, marks Bluff Creek’s early successes near the Tony Fenoglio well in the Minor pool. The rig will soon move to a new wildcat on the Naomia Jameson tract north of the old ball park.
