Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Woolsey Operating, based in Wichita, Kan., has scheduled two 4,000-ft exploratory tests in Washington County, Ill. The #1 Allen Witte will be drilled in Section 24-1s-3w. Within 1.5 miles to the west, the company’s #1 Schuette will be in Section 23-1s-3w. Both ventures are targeting Trenton oil pay. Nearby production is to the southwest in Nashville North Field, which was opened in 1979. Most of the field’s wells were drilled to 2,750 ft and produce crude from Devonian. The deepest drilling in this part of Washington County is within 2 mile north-northwest of Woolsey’s proposed #1 Schuette at #1 Rueter in Section 11. It was drilled in 1997 to a total depth of 3,889 ft in Trenton.
