Oil Leases Taken East of City Progress Promising
The week saw strong progress in oil option activity south of the city. Prosser of Guffey Gillespie Pitcairn reported options on over 2,000 acres were taken and about 2,500 acres more are secured, nearing the 5,000 acre goal. The firm will conduct an exhaustive local search, undeterred by dry holes, noting initial tests can be misleading before deep prospecting yields results with continued drilling and investment.
