Show REMOTE MILLARD COUNTY TEST TO BE DEEPENED Carlton Stowe, minerals specialist, Utah Department of Natural Resources says that Tiger Oil Company, Denver, Colorado, will drill to about 17,500 feet, apparently appar-ently to preCambrian age formations, at the No. 1 USA -Bishop Springs well some 14 miles east of the Nevada state line in Millard County. The well is in the Confusion Range vicinity about 10 miles southeast of Gandy, Utah. The prospect is a deepening of an earlier failure the Gulf Oil unit well which went to 9,058 feet before be-fore it was abandoned in 1952. Gulf had no reported shows. Closest production is about 150 miles to the southeast in the Virgin field of Washington County. Delta is some 70 miles to the east and Fillmore is about 85 miles to the southeast. A new exploratory test will be drilled in Washington County, about 21 miles southwest south-west of the Virgin field and seven miles south of the town of Washington. Energy Associates, As-sociates, Salt Lake City, will drill the No. 1 Dixie -State to about 2,600 feet. It is just northeast of a 2, 500 foot failure fail-ure drilled earlier this year where oil shows were found at 2,200 feet. |
