Sometimes you forget to look in your own backyard for drilling rigs. Saw new small rig in Laura Lavelle field on 2781 about 5 miles from Pennington. Guess this is Carlos Currie permit listed on drilling permits. Looks like they are drilling one or two new shallow wells for oil as well as plugging some. They are still increasing storage tanks on all of this field. Also see quite a bit being hauled out.

Also hearing that several younger folks out of jobs are being hired as rig and field workers near Lovelady and Weldon. Good for the local economy--even got a few people off of food stamps!
