Drilling Activity Summary
Description
IHS Markit reported that Las Vegas-based Western Oil Exploration Co. has permitted three remote wildcats in eastern Nevada's Newark Valley. The #25-1 Scott-Federal will be in Section 25-17n-56e of White Pine County. Within one-half mile to the southwest in Section 35, the company has also staked #35-1 Scott-Federal. The vertical tests are expected to reach 10,000 ft each and apparently will target the Mississippian Chainman Shale and Paleozoic Dolomite. The third location is currently unpermitted but will be located farther to the southwest at #3-1 Scott-Federal in Section 3-16n-56e. No objectives have been identified by the operator. Nearby drilling includes a 7,500-ft wildcat about 5 miles west-southwest of #3-1 Scott at #1-FLT in Section 11-16n-55e, which was drilled in 2011 and no information was ever released.
