Production at the Eyner Nielson well toped 202 barrels daily after a $35 000 treatment and is now shut down with storage tanks full. Western States Refining Co negotiates crude sales as wells from Welker Hollow and Red Wash feed the Phillips refinery via a central battery. A second area well, Bamberg No 1, yields about 50 barrels daily and is trucked to Utah Oil Refinery in Battle. New wells near Duchesne and along the Utah Wyoming border enter testing or drilling, with plans to push output toward 1000 miles of pipeline routes.
