Hayes County First Oil Field Found in Nebraska
Hayes County and surrounding areas see a major oil discovery by British American Oil Producing Corp at No. 1 Sullivan in NWSE Sec. 28 34. The well yields 1,260 feet of oil with no water in the basal sand, signaling a potential producer for Hayes County and prompting renewed drilling in a 40 square mile area. Nebraska's oil output and reserve concerns frame the report, with Panhandle wildcats planned in Cheyenne and Kimball counties and multiple new fields and drilling activity noted across Banner and Kimball counties.
