Humble Oil Wells Case Reopened in Rusk County
The Sixth Court of Civil Appeals set aside an order barring Humble Oil from surveying wells on leases owned by H. L. Long and Charles Stubblefield in Rusk County. A new hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday July 17 if both sides meet conditions, while Long and Stubblefield pursue a fresh appeal and a separate Kilgore case proceeds in Longview. The broader East Texas oil tests continue with 65 leases under restraining orders and ongoing directional inclination studies to detect crooked wells.
