In south central Terry County and Scurry County Texas drillers plan tests on Wolfcamp and Strawn wildcats.

Mitchell County project at Garden Annex tests Canyon-like formation with 4.6 inch casing set.
In southeast New Mexico three wildcat locations were staked with two in Eddy County and an amendment to an earlier Eddy exploration. John H. Trigg of Roswell staked the 1418-N Federal as a 4 7/8 inch foot Seven Rivers wildcat in east central Eddy County, near Carlsbad. The drillsite sits near Getty field and Russell field with multiple nearby markers and offsets. An Artesia unit was amended with a new operator to John H. Trigg to drill the wildcat from specified section lines. Additional targets appear in De Baca County near Ramon and Yess with limited nearby references and no nearby operations noted.
In Martin County Texas a wildcat at Dean field resumes drifting and drills to about 8 280 feet after coring from 7 716 to 8 0 feet. The core shows laminated shale with bleeding and sand intervals, with multiple operators including Martin Continental and Texaco noting perforations and attempts. Locations reference Section lines near Ackerly and several company wells across the basin region in West Texas.
The test flowed gas at 11,200,000 cubic feet daily and a distillate at 20 barrels per hour during a Morrow test at depths around 12,412 to 12,582 feet. Strawn gas and oil flows ranged from 11,350 to 11,415 feet and 11,418 to 98 feet. Location is 17 miles south of Mallamar, 144 miles southeast of the Lusk field, 1,980 feet from north and 660 feet from east lines of Section 29-19s-32e.
