Oil jinx lingers in Cheyenne County wildcat drive
In southeast Cheyenne County, Ohio Oil Co plugg ed and abandoned Lenzen No 1 wildcat on land owned by Peter Lenzen near Sidney. The 13th dry hole in the county since exploration began three years ago, with two oil wells and three gas producers already in production north of Sidney. Other rigs moved, while interest grows in lanes for a broader southern field near the state line. Independent wildcatters and oil firms await warmer weather to push further tests as market constraints restrain a full drill-out.
