Deepest Oil Well Planned in Rangely Basin Project
In Rangely Utah or Colorado a venture led by CG Baxter and associates seeks to drill a depth of five thousand feet toward the earth’s center. Local magnates back the Rangely boom with 2,500 to 4,480 acres, aiming for shallow wells as tests begin with a 2,500 foot rig. Geologists call Rangely a major oil dome with vast untapped potential.
