Well Grants Across Counties Near Clare Decline in 1930s Oil Boom
The latest state oil permit release shows 16 new drilling permits, boosting this year’s total and highlighting Buckeye, Gladwin, and Ogemaw counties.

In Gladwin, Mammoth Producing and Refining’s State A-1 progresses toward commercial production with 1200 barrel daily potential, as several tests advance below 3000 feet across Midland and Isabella counties.
