Distillate Wildcat Drills Across Lea and Eddy Counties
Multiple wildcat oil tests across New Mexico counties report gas flow from Stanolind and American Republics Federal, with several prospects showing potential for commercial production. Notable sites include West Lea wildcat No. 1 Buffalo Oil, Southeast Lea No. 1 State Gas Unit, and Northeast Lea County No. 1 Schenck, among others, with depths from 3,280 to 14,500 feet and flows ranging from gas to heavy distillate and oil. Shallow and deep tests continue near Jal, Bronco, and Roswell areas as operators push to depths up to 14,500 feet.
