Embry Field Oil & Gas Data

General Field Information

Produces Oil: Yes Produces Gas: Yes
Exploration Method: A re-evaluation of rotary sample cuttings of a dry hole led to the re-opening of this hole and the completion of it as a producing well.
Drilling Casing Practices: In the Mississippian, the well was completed after a fracture treatment. In the Lansing, the well required acid for completion.
