In 1912, the discovery well, the Wheeler No. 1 Oil Well came in near Drumright for wildcatter Thomas Baker Slick, Sr. [1]. Peak production was in May 1917 at 310,000 barrels per day, accounting for two thirds of the refinable crude oil production in the western hemisphere during that time, and provided twenty percent of the petroleum sold in the United States in 1915-1916.

Initial flow rates in the "Wilcox Sand" were nothing short of spectacular often exceeding 20,000 barrels (3,200 m 3) of oil per day and 20 million cubic feet (570,000 m 3) per day. The field is approximately 12 by 4.5 miles (19.3 km × 7.2 km) and encompasses 32 square miles (83 km 2 ) with a productive area of 13,770 acres (55.7 km 2 ).

GRDA has stated that pumping water from Lake Hudson (the source) into Lake W. R. Holway (the receiver) consumes nearly twice the power that can be recovered from the hydraulic generator. The real benefit from the process is that the owner can use power for pumping when overall power demand from customers is lower, and supply electric power when ...
