Six Oil Sands of Commercial Value In Lincoln County
Six commercially productive oil sands in Lincoln County may run up to 100 feet thick each, with high grade crude likely to command premiums. W B Harrington of Tulsa urges exhaustive development of La Barge Dry Piney and Big Piney fields, noting favorable drilling, water, labor, and pipeline access. He cites 26 000 acres leased by Union Oil and Associated Oil and about thirty rigs contracted, with tests showing a top quality paraffin base oil and high yields of light distillates.

Oil Prospects Grow in Big Piney Basin Anticipated Big Field
Pioneer drilling in the intermountain region has highlighted the Big Piney anticline as a strong drilling target. Experts say sealing oil bearing formations beneath shale is common and produces wells in similar basins. A government report notes light hydrocarbons and high gasoline content, supporting further exploration and potential railroad-related development.

Rich shale beds spark Wyoming resource talk
Sir Thomas Freebury, Gulf Coast Oil Refining manager, cites Fontenelle shale as a promising field six miles east of Kanmerer on Davison’s Dome. Tests show 50 gallons per ton with potential for 50 percent gasoline, 18 percent lubricating oil, and 80 percent paraffine after cracking. shale deposits are large, easily mined, and require no heavy hoisting.

Result of One Man's Courage in La Barge-Dry Piney Oil Rise
Charles Lackey of Lackey Oil and Development led the push into the La Barge-Dry Piney oil district. He backed his conviction in 1912 despite skepticism, formed the Cretaceous Oil Company in 1917, and built the Lackey Oil Company adjacent to it. His persistence and early testing with water wells helped establish a major oil center.
