Majors Trim Sails Wildcatters Hold Key To '55 Oil Work In Cheyenne County
Industry circles say Cheyenne County oil activity in 1955 hinges on independents and wildcatters. Ohio Oil Co trims its Sidney district budget, while independents push drillings north of Potter and around Banner and Kimball Counties. Farmout deals loom as leases near term end, with significant results from Ryan, Gem, Wytex, Sure, and The Texas Co. Southeast Cheyenne remains largely unexplored, with 160 square miles and under 20 tests, possibly due to subsurface seismic questions though development elsewhere argues against that.
