Drilling Activity Summary
Description
A shallow exploratory test in southwestern Montgomery County, Ill., is planned by Paducah, Ky.-based Ronald D. Eggemeyer. The venture, #1 Rose Simburger, will be in Section 33-8n-5w, and it has a planned depth of 750 ft. The Illinois Basin venture is targeting oil pays in Spoon (Pennsylvanian). One previous wildcat was drilled in Section 33 to the west-northwest at #1 J.B. Williams Estate, which was drilled in 1959 to 1,815 ft in Devonian. About 2 miles to the northwest of the planned well is Mount Olive Field. Mount Olive Field was opened in 1942, and production is from Pennsylvanian. Two Spoon oil wells in the field were drilled in 2014—#12 Taylor Hardt in Section 29-8n-5w pumped 1 bbl of crude and 10 bbl of water daily from a zone at 588-625 ft, and #13 Taylor Hardt in Section 29 pumped 2 bbl of crude per day from a zone at 592-602 ft.
