[edit] Rangely, Colorado

Rangely, Colorado is home to one of the larger and older oilfields in the USA -- shallow wells drilled since 1907, and a huge Weber-Sands deep field (originally 465 mile-deep wells) drilled in the 1940's. Field is still producing, under the auspices of Chevron-Texaco and its predessors since being unitized in 1957.

There is much information available about this place on the Town of Rangely Museum sub-website within the town's overall website; a couple of books have been written on the subject too (ie, "The Raven at Rangely", Bud Keeney, mid-1990's), but they are hard to obtain and there is no reference to this interesting facet of this town (and its history) on the present Wikipedia article.

I am new to writing articles for this venue and would prefer someone else do it. Any takers?

Thank you... (Alright4MEH (talk) 00:19, 29 December 2007 (UTC))
