It has been reported by a very
reliable source that Socony Mobil
Oil Carp, has recently acquired an
interest in the large lease hold
ings of Union Oil Co., in the Copp
er River Basin, and will be spudd
ing their first well six miles off
the Lake Louise Road as soon as the
road to the site is completed. This
is to be under way immediately.
This well is to be followed by
at least two more by the same' co
mpany..... It is reported that tuio
more wells are to he started by two
other companies in other parts of
the basin, and that a stepped-up
seismic exploration will precede
the'other wells.
It is understood that the que
stion of suitable reservois rock
has been definitely decided to be
favourable and that the postponement
of several yells on Kenai may ex
pedite the drilling in this basin.
Thirty four oil companies have
holdings in the basin now, which Lie
hope may mean that the forecasts
made by imminent geologists as long
as twenty years ago may be true.
Copper River Basin has always
been known for hospitality so let
• us .make the people in this industry j
feel d t home, for as we settlers
know from experience, a first impr- j
ession is usually a lasting one.
Let's say: Uelcome to'the Copper
River Basin, and feel at home.
