Gillespie permit submitted

Mineral leasing has been heavy for the past few months in the Gillespie County School Land Survey area in southern Fisher County. An application for a vertical oil well was submitted yesterday, for drilling in the southwest portion of the survey. The proposed well depth is 7,999 feet. It is currently being mapped and has not yet been approved. The Texas Railroad Commission W-1 application form identifies Cholla Petroleum as the operator.
