Cat Creek well flows at 9000 barrels daily in Cat Creek field
A Frantz well on the Wildschutz tract in section 14 town ship 15 north range 29 east produced 3800 barrels in 10 hours, equating to 9120 barrels per day. The shot taps the second sands, previously unproductive, with high gasoline content and no gas pressure. The result cheers oil men and prompts large development by Mid-Northern and others including Homestake Oil Company backing West home interests.
