Three years ago (11 June & 3 July 2021) we made two posts with information about the Empire Oil drilling efforts that were done in the Otter community. A little more information about the oil drill, the company and the men behind it was found yesterday in The Mining And Engineering Record 1919, published in Vancouver by Technical Press Ltd.

Our previous posts about Empire Oil can be found by using the Search option on the page (it's sometimes hiding behind the "..." menu), just search "empire"
