Kerr-McGee adds Fleming No 2 fourth well in the O Connell field near Lorenzo. A 3500 feet oil return from a sand drill stem test offsets Fleming No 1. Absent casing due to steel shortages and a pending strike, drilling slows across Cheyenne and Kimball counties with several other wells in coring or testing stages.
