Iowa Oil Prospects Questioned by State Survey
Des Moines report cites Iowa Geological Survey bulletin on Petroleum and Natural Gas in Iowa. Expert Jesse Howell finds paying oil wells extremely remote, with only a small southwestern section worth minimal drilling and no authentic oil occurrences. Gas in glacial drift near Letts is not true natural gas. Reports of oil showings are explained by leaks or misreads. The bulletin notes Pennsylvanian rocks exist but unlikely to yield oil or gas, and Iowa lost about 100 million dollars in wildcat stock in 1920 and more in 1921.
