Gas Taken Again From Old Field By Howard Kegley
Independent operator Harry Rothschild ties Edwards No. 2 into a line between El Capitan and Goleta, targeting 2 to 5 million cubic feet daily from about 2000 feet. Edwards No. 1 nearby is undergoing a production test after a recent weekend blowout. The Edwards wells rest on the Edwards ranch where Barnsdall’s failed wildcat once caused a gas flare near the Southern Pacific line. Geologists tie Edwards No. 2 output to the Sespe formation with potential for deeper builds. All-States Exploration and Slick-Moormen hold interests in the 1000 acre Edwards lease.
