1 Gibraltar Energy Corp., El Dorado, Ark., completed a 140,000-cu.-ft.-per-day discovery in Chickasaw County, Miss., at its #1 McCullough 6-16 well in Section 6-12s-4e. The well tested Lewis through perforations from 2,666-87 ft. through a 12/64-in. choke. Flowing tubing pressure was 160 psi in the 2,763-ft. well. Officials have designated the well the opener for Coleville West Field. The only well in Coleville Field, about 1.33 miles southeast, was completed in the shallower Evans formation and produced 84 million cu. ft. of gas and 10 bbl. of water during a 16-month period, according to IHS Energy. 2 S. Lavon Evans Jr. Operating Co. Inc., Laurel, Miss., posted a discovery in Marion County, Ala., flowing 180,000 cu. ft. of gas and 103 bbl. of water a day from Lewis perforations between 2,370 ft. and 2,415 ft. The #1 Champion 21-14 was tested through a 14/64-in. choke with 110 psi of flowing tubing pressure. Evans drilled the 2,500-ft. well in Section 21-2s-13w. The new well is less than a mile west-northwest of a discovery by the same operator last fall. There, the #1 Allman 28-1 flowed 800,000 cu. ft. of gas and four bbl. of water a day, also from Lewis. 3 Traverse City firm Savoy Energy LP plans three new-field wildcats in southeastern Montmorency County, Mich. The #1-27 HD-1 Big 8 Land Co. is sited in Section 34-30n-4e in Rust Township about four miles northwest of Fletcher Pond Field and eight miles south of Hillman. Savoy plans a horizontal well, with the lateral reaching north of the surface location in the same section. The well is a redrill of Savoy's former #1-27 Big 8 Land Co. The second well is the #134 Big 8 Land Co., a vertical well scheduled to 7,500 ft. in Prairie du Chien in Section 34 of the same township.

The company's #1 Greffe-Bount Community well produced 47 bbl. of oil with 45 bbl. of water per day and extends the field 0.8-mile southwest. The 2,000-ft. well, scheduled to Silurian, is Section 29-14n-2w about four miles southeast of Edinburg, Ill. 6 Myron L. Ross, Hot Springs, Ark., staked a wildcat about 0.75-mile east of Alma in Marion County, Ill. The operator plans to drill the #1-A Dwain Ford in Section 8-3n-3e to Devonian Geneva at 3,999 ft. The test lies between two existing multiple-pay fields, according to IHS Energy. Alma Field lies to the northwest and Brubaker to the south-southwest. Brubaker, which was discovered 30 years ago, produces from Geneva, Mississippian Spar Mountain, McClosky, St. Louis and Salem. The field has produced 676,000 bbl. of oil and currently makes about 10 bbl. per day from a single active well. Alma Field has produced 128,000 bbl. of oil from Cypress, Benoist, Aux Vases, Spar Mountain, McClosky and St. Louis but was abandoned in 1996. 7 Ramah Oil Co. LLC, Mount Gilead, Ohio, completed a wildcat discovery for 5,000 cu. ft. of gas a day from Trenton in Wyandot County, Ohio. The #1 Parsell well is in Section 35, Marseilles Quad, about three miles east of Dunkirk Field, a Trenton Field discovered in 1888, and nine miles southwest of Sandusky. 8 D.T. Atha Inc., Sugar Grove, Ohio, plans a new-field wildcat aimed at Trempealeau at 1,999 ft. at its #1 Field R well in Section 17, Larue Quad in Marion County, Ohio, about 1.5 miles north of Larue. The well is four miles south of an unnamed Trenton field. Atha also plans a nearby outpost attempt at an unnamed Trenton field in Section 35, Meeker Quad, about nine miles northwest of Marion, Ohio, also in Marion County. That well also is planned to Trempealeau at 1,999 ft. 9 A&E Exploration, Owensboro, Ky., plans a wildcat on the Shawneetown-Rough Creek Fault about 4.5 miles north of Centertown in Ohio County, Ky. It will drill the #1-H Travue Heirs in Section 1-L-30 to 1,750 ft. to test McClosky. The well is 1.25 miles west-northwest of a noncommercial discovery drilled 1972. That well, the #1 Pirtle Heirs, in Section 6-L-31, tested the Renault formation for 10 bbl. of oil on pump. It produced 681 bbl. of oil before it was abandoned. Woodward Valley Field, a multiple-pay field discovered in 1981 is two miles north-northwest of the #1-H-Travue Heirs and produces from Jackson, Cypress, Aux Vases and O'Hara at depths to 1,375 ft. It produced 5,889 bbl. of oil before it was abandoned in 1990, according to IHS Energy. 10 Resource & Energy Technologies Co., Bardstown, Ky., continues its exploration and development campaign on the Cincinnati Arch in central Kentucky with the #1 Frank Prather Jr. wildcat in Section 24-H-41e, Smiths Grove Quad, Edmonson County, about four miles northeast of Smiths Grove. The company planned the well to Corniferous at 1,500 ft. The well is slightly more than a mile north of Rocky Hill West Field, which has produced gas from Corniferous but now produces oil from Warsaw at approximately 200 ft., Forth Payne at 400 ft. and Corniferous at 500 to 650 ft. The company has been developing Mammoth Cave South Field, which produces gas from Fort Payne and Jeffersonville, since early last year.
