Gas Fields Enlarged By New Discoveries In Julesburg Basin
Expansion of gas producing limits in western Nebraska and northeastern Colorado shows growing potential in the Julesburg Basin. New discoveries include Kugler field by Ohio Oil Co with gas in three wells in the D sand, Schwabe No. 1 wildcat in Logan County, and Tuley Carter No.1 in Weld County near Stoneham yielding five million cubic feet daily. The region spans five known gas fields from Cheyenne to Logan counties, with plans to widen drilling in Deuel and West Sidney areas as unitization progresses. Pipeline plans aim to move gas to eastern markets, supporting anticipated expansion in 1952.
