The Webb Zapata oil fields are discussed in a weekly report by Harry L. Wanaler. Early surveys traced a 454% degree line from Pennsylvania to the Rio Grande, predicting enormous offshore-like flows and future large pools as drilling progresses in Texas fields.

It cites optimistic forecasts from geologists about soon opening rich pools at modest depths and outlines the current local activity and prospects in Laredo region wells and related services.
