Drilling Activity Summary
Description
IHS Markit reported that Pioneer Oil Co. is drilling another deeper pool test in Illinois’ White County. Located in in Section 25-5s-8e in the west-central portion of the county, #1 Gunter has a planned depth of 4,550 ft and is targeting pays in Chouteau Lime (Lower Mississippian) and is in Turnbull Field. Pioneer Oil has permitted and drilled several tests in the area, including #1-36 Ackerman Trust about one-half mile to the southwest. The Chouteau Lime venture in Section 36-5s-8e was drilled in 2019 to an estimated depth of 4,550 ft and is currently holding for data. The company’s offsetting #2-36 Ackerman Trust has a shallower Cypress Sand objective. Permitted in late 2019, the proposed total depth is 2,950 ft. White County’s Trumbull Consolidated Field was opened in 1944. Reservoir production comes from a range of Mississippian pays, including Aux Vases at 3,170 ft; Ohara Lime at 3,230 ft; McClosky Lime at 3,290 ft and Ullin at 4,110 ft. Field production extends about 10 miles northeast of Pioneer Oil’s program. To the southeast is Roland Consolidated Field. Similar to Trumbull Consolidated Field, the deepest wells in this field yield crude from the Ullin at 4,050 ft. Pioneer is based in Lawrenceville, Ill.
