Exploration and drilling notes from West Texas fields
Abilene based explorers led by Phil Kendrick Jr and Fisher Webb target a 4550 foot No.1 Langford drill north of Girard in Dickens County. Other findings include a 6000 foot test at Twin Peaks in King County, a 5100 foot Conoco Dean Unit in Cochran County, and a Yaokan Texas Pacific completed well with 9 barrels per day oil plus water. Wildcat and discovery activity spans Crane, Sterling, Pecos, and Andrews counties with multiple pressure tests, acid stimulations, and notable gas discoveries in Pecos and Devonian oil in the Gomez field.
