First sentence: The discovery of the Davis Ranch oil pool in Wabaunsee County, Kansas, in April 1949 started one of the most important leasing and wildcat drilling programs in Kansas in recent years.
Description: The investigation that yielded this report was inaugurated by the important discovery of oil in the Davis Ranch pool and was undertaken as a result of an increased demand for information concerning structural and stratigraphic aspects of the southwestern part of the Forest City basin, especially in Wabaunsee County, Kansas.
