Pyramid Hills oil (1549)

Pyramid Hills oil (1549)
My favorite (really) oil field. In a valley just west of the Pyramid Hills, an older facility apparently operated by a small, independent, company. The operation seems to be one that just keeps steadily pumping, rather than using the latest techniques to push the most out of the field. Of course, that might be an overly romantic view of the field -- it might be that it just doesn't have the capacity to push it further. But, its encouraging to think that there might be an operator who goes for slow and steady instead of rapid depletion.

Probably a stripper well--you get a tax break if you produce < 10 bbl/day. The idea is to encourage otherwise marginal wells to stay in production.

Thanks for that info, that helps explain why they seem to be old and run forever, but always slow.
