Zapata County Oil Boom Expands In Deep Drilling
Zapata County sees unprecedented oil exploration as Empire Gas and Fuel barrels ahead with a 10,000,000 cubic feet daily well near 2200 feet depth. The firm, amid leases totaling about 200,000 acres plus 200,000 more under option, targets deeper drilling while expanding acreage across the Rio Grande as Mexican stability allows. Local gas and oil activity draws in geologists and developers like McMullan, Web, and McFarland interests, with stars such as Bartlesville’s Tot Harned and the Amwell family names linked to regionwide leases along the Rio Grande and tributaries.
