Schadek drilling Near Kemmerer Sees Early Progress
The Schadek drilling outfit for Petrogas began operations on Davison’s ranch near Kemmerer Wyoming. Under Hollinsworth, Joe Schadek and Fred Hischer, the drill reached 102 feet with promising signs. Gulf Coast No. 1 lies about 1,000 feet down with 1,800 to 2,000 feet target for oil sand. Field manager Thomas Freebury and Louisiana interests plan surveys, while Schadek touts lower costs and faster drilling. A second Schadek rig is to start in La Barge Dry Piney before July 1 as Kemmerer hosts a growing oil effort.
