Four rigs are presently drilling in Millard County, and two wells have been completed the past year. Information is skimpy as drilling information is secret and skimpy. However, it is known that applications have been filed for ten holes in Millard County and seven in Beaver County, all of which are expected to be started or completed in 1981. There will also be drilling for geothermal in 1981. Picture is of a rig in Millard County, reprinted from the Millard County Chronicle and shot by Tom Williams. |
