Wyoming fields booming as Lander district oil activity surges
Casper reports that after Lander Ol Company’s first well on reservation land north of Lander produced steady flow, multiple outfits including Pioneer Wyoming Oil and Texans Oil plan to add rigs on adjacent lands. Seaver Smith crews prepare another well on leased land, with Lander 3 Company drilling a second well. Indicators point to 6–7 rigs in operation within two weeks, though first well’s capacity remains undetermined. The initial well produced about 288 barrels in a day, with expectations near 500–800 barrels, while gas pressure caused water handling adjustments and equipment relocation.
