Oil activity in Cheyenne County in the first week of the New Year shows two field wells on the official permit list of the Nebraska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. Allison Drilling Co. and Delta Petroleum Co. started the No. 2 Ladeyard west of Sidney seeking to expand production in the Mohatt Field. The No. 1 Ladegard is listed as a probable producer. J. B. Ashby and others spotted the No. 1 Laing near the Dalton townsite and hired Banner Oil Co. as driller in the Hazzard Field. Texaco plans three wildcats in Sioux County, Neb., signaling a potentially active 1966. Strong regional activity also includes a Kimball County wildcat and a Cheyenne County completion in the Filon Field north of Potter. Northern Logan County, Colo., hosts three new wildcats near the Nebraska line with major drilling firms involved.
