Oil field shut down ends as Bradford meeting suspends further moves
The Producers' Association in Bradford decided to end the shut-down movement in the oil trade due to persistently low prices. The McWilliams well No.1 on the Lacy farm yielded 120 barrels in 36 hours after being shot, then declined, while other wells in Stoneham and Tiona districts proceed with rigs and leases expanding. Indications of activity grow in nearby fields as operators build rigs and pursue paying quantities amid improving but unsettled prospects.
