Title: Developments in Texas Panhandle in 1948

Author(s): R. A. Fickel (2)

Abstract:

The Texas Panhandle district, which includes the 25 northwest counties of Texas, is bounded on the north and east by Oklahoma and on the west by New Mexico. The south boundary of the district is formed by the south line of Parmer, Castro, Swisher, Briscoe, and Hall counties.

Drilling activities showed a marked increase over last year. The increase was directly attributed to oil wells with gas wells showing a slight decline. Production was increased by 2.1 million barrels of oil and 48 billion cubic feet of gas over last year. No new fields were discovered in 1948.

Seven important exploratory wells were drilled. All excepting one of these were drilled to granite.

Exploration was maintained at nearly the same level as in 1947. Both exploration and leasing were concentrated in the northeastern and southern parts of the district.
