Wells Slant Probe Hits Hawkins Field Lease
The Texas Railroad Commission said it is probing a 20 degree deviation in an oil well on the Christian Women’s Board of Missions lease in Hawkins Field. Pipeline connections may be severed if the bottom lies beyond the lease line or too close to other wells. The action follows a 42 degree deviation found in Quitman Field and ties to gubernatorial remarks about a special session on crooked wells.
