Wells Bend to Shot Sunday in Pecos Field Push
Local rep Wallace Lee and P. V. Petroleum plan a two charge shot at 4272 feet and at the top of the upper pay sand to force a producer. If successful the Pecos Oil Fields could see renewed activity with estimated production around 150 barrels to justify drilling costs. Other operators like Schooler Slack move into Pecos while Big Lake crews prepare rigs and nearby wells race toward deeper depths amid an industry revival.
