New oil well in Eddy Co flows 560 barrels daily
The Grayburg Burch No. 5 in sec 19 17 30 Eddy county, operated by Grayburg Oil Co, flowed 560 barrels in 24 hours after drilling to 3150 feet. Gas pressure damaged a 500 barrel tank, led to connection with a distant tank, and a two inch line carried the flow. Four new locations were staked in Lea and Valencia counties, with several companies reporting tests and further drilling plans.
