Growing Claims Over Loss of Existing Wells Due to Horizontal Drilling

No letup in the growing dispute between the horizontal oil and gas drillers and those who contend the horizontal wells are taking from their existing vertical wells.

One unconfirmed report claims hundreds of older vertically-drilled wells in Kingfisher county were lost because of the new horizontally-drilled wells.

News 9’s Alex Cameron reported on the dispute in recent days.
