Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Kebo Oil & Gas Inc. has received permit to drill a wildcat in Nevada’s Nye County. The #1 Ragged Ridge will be in previously undrilled Section 3-9n-57e. The vertical test has a planned depth of 7,000 ft in the Railroad Valley Basin of the Eastern Great Basin Province. This will be the Portland, Texas-based company’s first test in Nevada. Nearby production is about 2 miles to the north at the abandoned one-well Currant Field, which was opened in 1979 with the completion of #1 Currant. The 7,800-ft discovery was tested pumping 34 bbl of 12.9° API oil per day from perforations at 7,038-80 ft in a volcanic section within Lower Sheep Pass (Cretaceous). The zone produced a total of 561 bbl of crude.
