Independent Oil and Gas Service  L. D. Drilling of Great Bend (KS) has established the new Gola field in northwestern Lane County, near the Gove County line. Their #1 York, spotted in approximately C N/2 SW NW in section 2-T16S-R30W, is on pump making 25 barrels of oil and 20 barrels of water per day. The pool opener is producing crude from Marmaton perforations at 3,952 to 3,957, 4,072 to 4,077 and 4,125 to 4,127 feet. First production commenced on April 27, 2002. Company-owned drilling rig drilled the well to a total depth of 4,370 feet. Kim B. Shoemaker was well site geologist. The new discovery site lies nearly 3/4-mile due west of #2-II York, NE/4 in section 2, that opened the LaYork field in 1984. The well produced 145 barrels of oil daily from the upper Marmaton from 4,105 to 4,109 feet. Non-commercial shows of oil were also noted in the Altamont, Pawnee, Myrick Station and Fort Scott limestones in the lower Marmaton group. The new Gola field is located about 6 miles north of Healy, Kansas.  6) Hess Oil

 7) Dominion Oklahoma Texas Exploration & Production Has Discovery Dominion Oklahoma Texas Exploration & Production, of Oklahoma City, Okla., has started a new Morrow play in Morton County, southwest Kansas. The firm has discovered new oil deposits at their #1-5 Blout, spotted in approximately C N/2 S/2 S/2 in section 5-T33S-R42W. The 5,100 foot deep well is on pump making an unknown amount of crude. Dominion Oklahoma Texas has since run casing and is currently evaluating two offset locations, also drilled in section 5 in recent weeks.
The #2-5 Blout was drilled 5/8-mile northeast of the pool opener and the
#1-5 Williams Trust lies 3/8-mile to the north. Two other locations have
been staked nearby. The #4-5 Blout is located in the NE SW of section 5,
and the #1-8 Blout is located in NW NW NW of section 8. Both are planned
5,200 foot upper Morrow tests. OXY USA has joined the hunt with several
offsetting locations announced of their own. The new field has not been
named. It lies about 7-1/2 miles southwest of Richfield, Kansas.
