Keen Interest Grows as Oil Show at Corba Nk Spreads
Oil shows developed in a long 2780 foot section with a strong strike at the lime indicating oil bearing qualities. Seeps intensified after drilling passed into shale near 2900 feet and a fishing job is under way after tools were lost at 3004 feet. Plans call for testing the 3000 foot sand and possibly reworking the lime gap. Timbers arrive on the Carter Fisher tract as Barney Carter plans a test, boosting local interest in the area.
