Local views on Empire Oil well in Duval County
An interview with a Laredo man who just returned from the Empire Oil Co well near Benavides in Duval county explains that regardless of whether the Becker well pays out, the tests at Empire will be valuable to Southwest Texas. He says geologists located the well and that 3400 to 3500 feet depths yielded a 15 to 20 foot oil bearing sand, indicating a deep oil bearing sand likely to benefit landholders and legitimate operators and to spur further prolific fields between the Texas-Mexican tracks and the Rio Grande.
