Initial flow reached 1.5 million cubic feet daily, rising to 6 million after a deeper drill. a 10.4 million cubic foot daily capacity was noted after a 24 hour blow. Production could reach 15 million with deeper drilling, risking cap sealing. The find may create a new gas field spanning hundreds of acres east of Clare, with spring activity expected. The McKay test in Lincoln township's section 24 yielded a dry hole. oil testing remains undecided.
