Great Oil Pool Near Inscription Rock Promises Big Yields
Reports from Venlencia county near Inscription Rock describe a promising oil show in Ramah field. Water tests yield heavy blue oil per bucket at 190 feet, while coal seams and sandstone reefs bolster prospects. Geologists deem the anticline dikes favorable for a shallow pool and extensive operations, aided by accessible water, timber, and wagon routes. The area sits southeast of the Inscription Rock monument, a historic site with Indian inscriptions and prominent sandstone formations.
