Queen Bee Of Wildcats Develops From Shell Find In Gaines County
South-central Gaines county hosts a major Shell Oil wildcat at No. 1 Hawkins near Seminole testing Ellenberger at 12,174 feet after 12,158 feet, with oil loading during a 41 minute open. Known as the queen bee of the wildcats, the site shows a potential Devonian pay and faces further testing soon as production nearby hints at strong 500 barrel per hour flows.
