Continental Oil expands county wide leasing drive
Continental Oil Company has built a large lease portfolio in Cheyenne County over the past three months, led by brokers Lee A. Adams and J. E. Nowery. They hold 110 plus leases from Range 53 to Range 46, spanning eastern to southeastern Cheyenne County and into Deuel County, with renewed seismic testing anticipated. The move aims to secure a block of leases in a region with little prior production as industry eyes potential deep sand oil extending from Gurley toward McCook and the Nebraska line.
