Data on Cactus Oil Well Drilling in Webb County
Webb County in Southwest Texas shows promising drilling at the Cactus Oil Co. well on the Callahan Spur. At 1,305 feet a favorable oil sand was found 28 miles north of Laredo, with further depth planned past 1,400 feet. The nearby earlier well yielded a strong oil flow at about 1,490 feet before being abandoned as a water well. The current hole, near 1,250 feet, is the deepest among Webb County tests and is expected to come in soon with likely flow, possibly not needing a pump once producing.
