Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Las Vegas-based Western Oil Exploration Co. is seeking approval to drill its third remote test in Nevada’s Newark Valley. No objectives or proposed depth were released. The #3-1 Scott-Federal will be in Section 3-16n-56e of White Pine County. The company has filed permit applications for two 10,000-ft wildcats, #35-1 Scott-Federal and #25-1 Scott-Federal with targets including the Mississippian Chainman Shale and Paleozoic Dolomites in a northeast trend away from the newly proposed site. The project area is approximately 45 miles north of Trap Spring Field in neighboring Nye County's Railroad Valley.
