Abstract

The Wilder Oil Field in Southwest LaPorte County in Indiana produced some oil when it was initially drilled in the early part of this century. The oil that was found was located under the Antrim Shale and in the first few feet of the limestone of the Traverse Formation. The field shows no potential for oil or gas production.
