Oil Drilling Pace Slows In Nebraska In 1963
Nebraska reports a sharp drop in wells drilled in 1963 with final counts near 450 versus 1962. Production averaged 55 000 to 60 000 barrels daily, and by year end fourteen counties produce oil while three produce natural gas. Multiple wildcat and offset tests across Cheyenne, Kimball, Scotts Bluff, Red Willow, and other counties drive activity as operators seek new reservoirs to replace aging fields.
