Bates County oil mounds spur gas and land leases
The Kansas City Star reports Bates County in Missouri features large eastern Kansas mound formations whose origins draw geologists’ attention. Gas experts speculate vents from ancient natural gas deposits created them, as local wells on mound tops hint at gas presence. In the area, oil and gas yields vary with depth and geology, with mixed lubricants and unusable oil from some wells. A local drill near Hendersons farm shows gas with little oil, prompting land purchases and formation of stock companies. Nearby Akins, northeast of Merwin, houses a mound where a 240 foot well yielded abundant natural gas, fueling local speculation and investment in leases and options.
