Historical Context
The Black Gold Petroleum Company was an Arizona corporation that did business out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. By November of 1934, the company had drilled in Young County, Texas, including a 750-foot dry hole 3.5 miles east of Graham Texas. This failure notwithstanding, Black Gold Petroleum drilled again in Trego County, Kansas – another dry hole; then drilled and abandoned an unsuccessful wildcat well in Kingfisher County, Oklahoma.
By 1939 the company had issued 1,087,494.5 shares of capital stock to about 2,200 investors to fund exploration. The company's assets included oil leases and equipment at that time.
