Deeper oil drilling drives southwest as production falls
In Washington and surrounding fields a major shift to southwest drilling is reported as oil output drops about 25 percent in the last month. Operators push toward fourth and fifth sands with plans at Mascot Tom McGahey and Hodgins sites while several firms, including Washington Oil and Forest Oil, drill deeper. Across Mannington and Parkersburg regions, multiple wells are online or being prepared, with yields ranging from a few to about 100 barrels per day and gas tests at Burning Springs awaiting final results.
