Announcement is made by the Three Fields Oil & Shale company that Its initial efforts toward the development of the oil and gas resources of the state are under way in Davis county. The Davis county holdings of the company include a number of the old wells which supplied Salt Lake City with gas nearly a quarter quar-ter of a century ao, and the first work undertaken by tfte Three Fields is to clean out some of the old wells. The work is already under way and some interesting developments are expected ex-pected within the next two or three weeks. The wells are to be cleaned out with a view, to determining whether or not the producing sands nave become watered in the course of the long ex- , posure to the elements, and. if not, such repairs as are necessary will be made and the old wells will "be put back on a producing basis; It is the intention of the management to devote its energies in the Davit, bounty district, for the time being at least, to the development of natural gas. If the investigation in connection with the old wells is satisfactory, new wells will be driven, but with no thought of going to great depths in search for oil until a reserve fund is established through the production of gas. The company aiso controls extensive holdings in the vicinity of Utah lake, in Kingfisher county, Oklahoma, and some promising shale lands near Green River. Wyo. The most extensive holdings are in the vicinity of Fclican Point and Provo. bay, and. while no official an- I nouncement has been made, it in probable that the first drilling for oil will be done by the Three Fields in this section. |
