South Plains oil tests expand in Kent and neighboring counties
In 1946 developments across the South Plains show No. 1 Wick in Kent County flowing toward an estimated 13 barrels per hour after two-hour tests. American Liberty No. 1 Connell estate begins deep drilling near Humble’s Wick discovery, with plans to reach at least 18,000 feet. Other wells, including Irish test in Hale County and Garza County wildcat, progress with swabbing and acid treatments as prospects for Devonian and Ellenburger pay zones remain under observation.
