Drilling Activity Summary
Description
A drilling log confirmed a 140-ft. shale formation at Kentucky USA Energy Inc.'s #1 Swinney well in Kirkmansville Quad, Muhlenberg County, western Kentucky. Drilled to a total depth of 3,460 ft., the New Albany shale producer encountered a strong showing of gas to surface. An additional gas zone which was not in the original reserves study, the Dutch Creek formation, was also encountered in the well between 2,582-94 ft. Initial open-flow tests from the Dutch Creek formation show an approximate potential flow of more than 150,000 cu. ft. of gas per day. Additional details are not available. Kentucky USA Energy's headquarters are located in London, Ky.
