Gas Wells Develop in Bureau County Near Ohio Field
The La Salle Post reports discovery of natural gas in Ohio area of Bureau County with five new wells over two weeks. A well on land owned by Chris Sutter and Alfred Johnson struck at 285 feet produced strong flow and 39 to 40 pounds pressure, the drill wedged by heavy casing, and a 30 pound vein found near John Gugerty’s farm. An expert assessment says the Ohio field may surpass McLean County, where Pittsburg financiers invest heavily.
