RECORD OF DEEP-WELL DRILLING FOR 1905.

By MYRON L. FULLER and SAMUEL SANFORD.

PROGRESS IN THE COLLECTION OF WELL RECORDS 

AND SAMPLES, 1905.

By MYEON L. FULLER.

^M

The present is the second of the series of reports on the collection 

of deep-well samples, the first- of which, covering the period from 

the beginning of the work July 1, 1904, to December 31, 1904, was 

published as Bulletin No. 264. This report presents the records 

of a large number of wells from which more or less complete sets 

of samples have been secured and placed on file at the Survey, and. 

also many additional records not represented by samples.

The work has been conducted by the eastern section, division of 

hydrology, the expense being shared with the western section of 

hydrology and the geologic branch. The writer has continued in 

charge of the investigations and has been assisted by Messrs. E. F. 

Lines and Samuel Sanford. The burden of executive details has 

fallen mainly on Mr. Sanford since his assignment to the work on 

its relinquishment by Mr. Lines April 1. The methods followed 

are in most particulars those formulated by Mr. A. C. Veatch on 

the inauguration of the work in 1904, but to Mr. Sanford is due the 

credit for materially increasing the usefulness of the work to the 

driller, especially in furnishing geologic information.

OBJECTS OF THE WORK.

GENERAL STATEMENT.

The chief objects of the collection of well samples and the publication of records were: (1) To encourage drilling by pointing out 

to prospective well owners the probabilities of success, (2) to assist, 

drillers by helping them to a better understanding of the rock 

succession and by interpreting for them their samples and records, 

and (3) to furnish to geologists accurate stratigraphic data from 

which a more intimate economic or scientific knowledge of the 

geologic conditions could be derived.
6 BECOED OF DEEP-WELL DEILLLNG FOE

Much has been accomplished toward achieving the objects 

indicated. The sinking of wells has been recommended in numerous 

instances, drillers have been furnished with advice, well samples 

have been described and explained, records have been interpreted, 

and geologists have been supplied with a large number of records. 

It is hoped that even more will be accomplished during the next 

year, and it is. with the view of emphasizing to drillers and others 

the importance to them of the work that more detailed statements 

of the benefits are given in the following paragraphs.

ENCOURAGEMENT OF DRILLING.

It is the earnest wish of the Survey to encourage drilling for purewater supplies. Each year a large number of requests for advice 

as to the desirability of drilling wells in different localities are 

received, and recommendations based on the prevailing conditions 

in the region in question are given. It is evident that every successful well tends to lead to the drilling of others for similar supplies, 

and the more definite the information that can be given as to depth, 

materials penetrated, quantity and quality of supply, and cost of 

the well, the better able is the person to judge of the advisability 

of sinking the well. Failures to obtain supplies do not always, in 

the long run, tend to discourage drilling, as the cause is often discoverable when accurate records are available and it is possible to 

suggest remedies so that following wells are more successful. Data 

as to the small water seams overlying the supposed main waterbearing bed are of great importance in suggesting sources of supply 

when for one reason or another the expected flow from the lower 

bed does not materialize. In general the shallower the wells, 

beyond a certain limit, the greater will be the demand for drillers, 

for it is evident that where water can be .obtained within a relatively 

short distance of the surface and at a moderate cost much more 

drilling will be done in the aggregate than if the wells had to be 

sunk many hundreds or thousands of feet, in which case only towns 

or large corporations could afford to drill.

In order that the greatest number of wells may be drilled and 

the greatest success attained, it is desirable that the Survey be 

furnished, as a basis for its recommendations to those contemplating 

drilling, with as full data as possible regarding each well, whether 

.deep or shallow (if over 100 feet) and whether successful or not.

Another point that should be more widely appreciated among 

drillers is that the man who goes about his work intelligently is 

most likely to secure the large contracts. The work of large corporations is generally conducted along severely practical lines, and 

when drilling is to be done practical men are selected. It is manifest 

that to the driller who gives careful attention to his work and who
OBJECTS OF THE WORK. 7

not only sees that machinery is in proper condition and that it is 

properly handled, but also studies and keeps careful records of the 

character of the rocks to be penetrated, their dip, and the nature 

of the joints, seams, or bedding which may control the occurrence 

of water, a contract can be given with much greater assurance of 

success than to one who drills blindly ahead without such study 

and records.

ASSISTANCE TO DRILLERS OR OTHERS. 

CORRESPONDENCE.

Information in regard to rock succession and structure. No matter 

how complete and thorough a driller's information in regard to a given 

field may be, there almost always comes a time when he is required to 

sink a well.in new and unknown territory. One of the commonest 

requests received by the Survey is for information as to the nature 

of the rock at a certain point in such regions, as to the depths of 

supposed productive horizons, and as to the characters of the formations which must be penetrated to reach them. This information 

will be cheerfully furnished by the Survey whenever the data are 

available, and it is hoped the driller and well owner.will reciprocate 

by furnishing such details as will enable this organization to offer 

even more definite advice in the future.

Information in regard to prospects for water, oil, or gas. The 

demand for information in regard to prospects for oil, gas, or water 

is great and constantly increasing. While it is of course impossible 

in most cases to make absolute predictions as to the occurrence of 

these substances, even after detailed investigations in the field, and 

it is still more impracticable to make them from the office, yet for 

certain regions and for certain rocks it is possible to make very 

definite statements and to give advice which if followed would 

prevent the waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars in drilling 

in hopeless situations. For other regions, while only the drill will 

finally decide the presence or absence of water, oil, or gas, certain 

generalizations can often be made from the success of wells in adjacent 

territory, the data relating to which are constantly being collected 

by the Survey, thereby enabling it to furnish to the driller free of 

cost information which might give him much trouble to obtain 

otherwise. Every record furnished by a driller helps to a better 

understanding of the conditions and makes possible the giving of 

more accurate advice by the Survey.

Suggestions in regard to drilling methods. The methods of drilling 

in different types of material, the methods of handling quicksand, 

and many other problems connected with the sinking of deep wells 

are under investigation by the Geological Survey, which wift gladly 

furnish the driller with such suggestions in regard to his diflbwlties 

as its experience warrants.
8 RECORD OF DEEP-WELL DRILLING FOR 1905.

 Examination and interpretation of samples. In order to assist 

toward more intelligent drilling, the Survey will also examine the 

samples of such materials as the driller does not recognize or will 

interpret for him the logs of such wells as are represented by complete 

sets of samples.

PUBLICATIONS.

In addition to the aid rendered the driller by correspondence, as 

pointed out in the foregoing paragraphs, the Survey is enabled to 

assist the driller or well owner further through its publication of 

well records and other information relating to the occurrence of oil, 

gas, and water. Among the many ways in which reports containing 

such information may be of value, the following, which were pointed 

out in the first report on the sample system, may be repeated. To 

the oil and gas driller they furnish information as to (1) the best 

point for locating the well, (2) the depth of the supposed productive 

bed, (3) the character of the material to be penetrated, (4) the 

amount of water which will be encountered, (5) the amount of casing 

required, and (6) the-limit of depth to which it is desirable to drill. 

To the owners of such wells information as to each of the foregoing 

points, especially those affecting the cost of the wells, is furnished 

by the records, in addition to data relating to still more important 

factors namely, those of quantity and quality of supplies. In the 

case of drillers and owners of water wells the same information is 

furnished, but here the items affecting the cost are of increased importance, owing to the lower value of the product, and questions' oi 

head, quantity, and quality of supply again come to the fore. To 

prospective owners records show the results obtained by others and 

the probabilities of success of new ventures, while to the geologist 

they are .of value .in assisting to a more thorough understanding of 

the geology, which, in turn, enables him to answer more intelligently the numerous questions constantly referred to him by drillers, 

well owners, and others.

The reports giving information likely to be of interest to drillersare of several kinds, full descriptions of which are given on pages 10-14.

METHOD OF COLLECTING SAMPLES.**

Arrangements for cooperation. Cooperation with drillers forms the 

basis on which the work of collecting well samples is conducted. 

Problems are continually arising in the field in connection with 

.drilling, and information, is wanted by the driller as to the geologic 

formations to be encountered, the nature of peculiar materials 

brought up by the sand pump, and the probable depth and character 

.of supplies. Careful attention is given to such requests, and all

a For full description of office methods see Bull. U. S. Geol. Survey No. 264, 1905, pp. 27-39.
METHOD OF COLLECTING SAMPLES. 9

available information is furnished the applicant. From the records 

the geologist is able in many cases to give suggestions as to type of 

well, method of drilling, etc., and to offer such encouragement as the 

facts warrant to those contemplating the sinking of deep wells. In 

return the driller is requested to furnish written records of his wells 

and samples of materials penetrated, his assistance being acknowledged in the reports on well records issued annually.

List of drillers. One of the first steps is to secure the names and 

addresses of competent drillers, a task of some difficulty because of 

the lack of a comprehensive drillers' directory, the nonexistence of 

any trade publication devoted to drilling, and the general absence 

of advertisements of drilling firms in engineering publications. 

Advertisements for bids, however, appear in such publications in 

case of most of the deeper water wells, and by communicating with 

owners the addresses of drillers are obtained. Some addresses are 

procured through news notes in the trade journals, especially in oil 

publications, while still others are obtained from well reports received 

from postmasters, town and county officials, and geologists in the 

field.

Initial correspondence. To the addresses procured from the above 

and other minor sources letters are sent calling attention to the 

nature of the system for the collection of samples and records and 

the benefits to be derived from it by the driller. With the letter is 

inclosed a sample of the bags used for shipping the samples under 

frank through the mails. When favorable replies are received, 

notebooks especially devised for the use of drillers and containing 

pertinent suggestions and simple geologic definitions are mailed, 

'together with a supply of canvas bags for mailing the individual 

samples.

When the drillers are not at the time engaged in- drilling, special 

blanks are mailed for the purpose of obtaining records of previously 

completed wells. Similar blanks are also frequently sent to well 

owners. Much data of value in determining the geologic features of 

the different regions and of economic importance from the standpoint, of underground waters and oil or gas has been procured in this 

manner.

 Examination and filing of samples and records. As soon as received 

at the office the samples are transferred from the bags to properly 

labeled glass bottles. Those most commonly used are approximately 2f inches long and three-fourths of an inch in diameter, but 

glass jars measuring 3 by 1$ inches are employed where the fragments are larger or where they contain fossils or pebbles. As soon 

as a set of samples is completed it may be taken from the temporary 

filing cases in which it has previously been stored and, after reference to a -geologist for examination and identification of horizons
10 BEGGED OF DEEP-WELL DRILLING FOE 1905.

where possible, placed in the permanent storage cases, which have a 

capacity of 432 bottles to a drawer, or 5,000 to a case measuring, 

approximately, 40 by 32 by 24 inches.

The .notebooks, both those accompanying samples and those 

received independently, together with the records of completed wells 

obtained on the special well blanks, are filed by locality in the record 

files, all data pertaining to a given well being segregated and filed as 

a unit in a form convenient for consultation.

Confidential records. Owing to the expense involved in obtaining 

information through drilling, the operator may sometimes desire 

that certain information he has furnished to the Survey for scientific 

purposes be regarded as confidential. In all such cases his wishes 

will be rigidly followed.

PUBLICATION OF RESULTS.

The results of the work of collecting samples are described in 

reports issued annually, the general plan being to present each year 

a list of persons cooperating in furnishing samples or records, a 

summary of the wells reported, and detailed records of selected 

wells. The material is thus quickly made available to drillers, well 

owners, and geologists, who are enabled to make immediate use of 

the information, instead of being compelled to wait for complete 

reports, which, in general, could only be prepared after many years 

of work, the data in the meanwhile being unavailable, except to a 

few connected with the Survey at Washington.

In addition to the reports descriptive of the systematic collection 

of samples and records, many other papers containing well records 

or giving information in regard to oil, gas, artesian waters, etc., 

have been published by the Survey. A list of these and an index to 

the subjects treated has been prepared by the writer and published 

by the Survey as Water-Supply and Irrigation Paper No. 120. Of 

these papers those which are likely to be of the most interest to 

drillers and well owners are given below. Those ot which the supplies have not been exhausted can be obtained from the Director on 

request.

WELL RECORDS:

By SAMUEL SANFORD. 

INTRODUCTION.

The definition of a deep well is so variable in different localities 

that it has been difficult to determine where to draw, the line in 

selecting logs for publication in the present report on deep-well drilling in 1905. In many localities a 100-foot well is regarded as deep, 

while in others 500 or even 1,000 feet is the limit fixed. Nor is the 

value of a record necessarily dependent on depth, the data of certain 

shallow wells being more important than those of many of the deeper 

ones. There are; moreover, a large number of drillers, especially 

those using light portable rigs for drilling domestic wells, who are 

interested in relatively shallow wells, for which reason* the present 

report is made to cover all wells over 100 feet in depth. That shallower wells are not included does not mean that details of such wells 

have not been obtained, nor that they are not deemed worthy of 

record. The line is drawn as indicated because the number of records 

of shallow wells is so great as to prohibit their inclusion in a report 

primarily relating to deep wells.

Many hundreds of records that have been obtained by the Survey 

during the past year are not published here, but are reserved for use 

in the preparation of special reports on particular districts where 

'it is desired to present with the greatest exactness the relations of 

the underlying rocks or the depths to certain beds. Such records 

are of particular value in the preparation of the structural geology 

maps that appear in the various folios of the Geologic Atlas, of the 

United States, many hundred logs often being collected and compared before the publication of a folio, especially in the case of 

those located in the oil and gas fields of Pennsylvania and other 

States. It is because of the omission of such records that so few 

wells from the more active districts, where the rock succession in 

many places is well known, are included. The object, on the.contrary, has been to present records from the scattering or so-called 

"wild-cat" wells drilled in new or little-known territory.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

Thanks are tendered the following contractors and drillers who 

have assisted the Survey in its endeavor to secure information as to 

the strata penetrated in drilling and the economic 0 results of the 

deep borings. To the interest they have shown and the pains they 

have taken in furnishing data whatever of value this work may have 

is chiefly due.

O
182 EECOED OF DEEP-WELL DEILLING FOE 1905. 

DETAILED RECORDS.

The records which follow were selected from the great number listed 

in the preceding table because of the stratigraphic information which 

they afford. They do not always represent the deepest borings 

reported, from a particular section, nor are they necessarily records of 

wells from which samples have been received by the Survey. They 

were chosen mainly with the view of supplying data for those localities in which information is deficient. In discriminating among well 

records within a given area those which showed the most care in recording naturally received preference. The logs are reproduced mainly 

as given by the driller, although obvious mistakes were corrected and 

occasional changes made in the nomenclature, such as the substitution of "shale" for "soapstone" where it was clear that the former 

was the proper term. In some cases where no logs accompanied the 

samples, but the latter had been taken at fairly close intervals, records 

were compiled from them. Where the driller's notes and the samples 

have varied decidedly as'fo the~character of the rocks at" a" given "depth, 

the original name is followed by a description of the sample in parentheses. The Survey has attempted to publish only reliable records, 

but, owing to the absence of any opportunity for verification, can not 

guarantee them. It is hoped, however, that they will be of aid to 

drillers by showing the character of the rocks, the types of rig used, 

the depth to the oil or water bearing horizon, the size and length of 

casing probably needed, etc. Companies or individuals prospecting 

in unfamiliar territory should also find among these records information that will be of service to them in many ways.

In some of the logs the samples are described in detail, even though 

the exact depths of the beds are not given. This is for the purpose of 

showing the general character of the rocks. While drillers employ 

certain terms which are descriptive and; if properly used, sufficiently 

exact, such as "slate," " shells," " shelly slate," etc., yet usage varies 

enough- to make records containing such entries puzzling. Again, 

rocks are not always properly differentiated; "sand" is frequently 

any rock gritty enough to wear the bit, hence limestone and sandstone 

are confused, which results in great difficulties in stratigraphic correlations. On the other hand, while a sample of pulverized rock is of 

little or no value unless the location of the well and the depth are 

known, and while in drilling with a standard rig pieces of crumbly beds 

may fall and mingle with the pieces of the bed on which the drill is 

pounding, and with a hydraulic rig other contamination of samples is 

likely, yet a series of samples carefully taken from top to bottom of a 

well, even if unaccompanied by the driller's notes, gives evidence of 

high reliability. As a bed deeply buried often differs much from its 

outcrop, samples from a number of deep wells are described in some 

detail.

184 RECCED OF DEEP-WELL DRILLING FOR 1905.

So far as the evidence warrants, the various logs show the geologic 

age of the beds and formations penetrated. In the choice of formation names the usage of the Survey is followed. Some local or State 

names will no doubt be missed, owing to the substitution of place 

names for the older descriptive names, which, however apt for the formation at the place where first bestowed, may be absolutely misleading if applied to beds of the same age not far distant. The above 

table shows the stratigraphic divisions (formations, groups, series, and 

systems) used in classifying the sedimentary rocks in certain parts ol 

the United States.

The term formation, as here used, means any rock or succession'of 

rocks having such extent and such peculiarities that it can be distinguished over a considerable tract of country and treated as a unit in 

mapping. Thus a formation may be a persistent bed but a foot or 

two thick, or it may be a succession of beds 10,000 feet thick. With 

the progress of investigation the number of formation names has 

become great. The list is continually increasing, though some names 

are replaced by others as accumulating evidence shows that certain 

names are entitled to preference. Also, since a limestone bed in one 

locality may have been deposited at the same time as a sandstone bed 

in another and since the succession of changes of deposition may have 

differed widely, a formation in one locality may represent half a dozen' 

in another. Hence a table of formation and group names (several 

formations make a group) for the whole country would be long and 

complicated.

ALABAMA. 

13. Well near Hazelgreen, Madison County.

[Well begun and completed in 1905. Authority, H. B. Conovcr, driller. Geologic correlations by

E. 0. Ulrich.]

The red clay at and near surface has resulted from the decay of the underlying limestone 

(the Tullahoma), which is of Mississippian age. The underlying shales and limestones, in 

downward order, are Chattanooga shale (Devonian), Helderberg limestone" and shale 

(Silurian), Fernvale limestone and shale (Ordovician), Leipers limestone and shale-(Ordovician), "Trenton" limestone (Ordovician). These formations were determined by careful study of the fossils found in their outcrops. The well drillings show few marked differences below the Chattanooga shale, the only striking formation being the Fernvale red 

limestone and shale.

[Well begun and completed July, 1904. Authority, A. K. Small, superintendent Orange city water

system. No samples.]

This well is outside the original artesian area of the eastern coastal plain region of 

southern California. The many wells put down draw their supply from a common source 

the saturated sands and gravels lying between the Puente Hills and the sea. ' These beds 

are of recent age and were deposited in a bay that extended up Santa Ana River Valley. 

A long list of wells and a general account of the conditions governing the underground 

supply of this area are given in Water-Supply Paper No. 137, "Development of underground waters in the eastern coastal plain region of southern California," by W. C.

[Well begun January .17,1905; completed February 14,1905. Authority, George A. Free, contractor and

driller. Samples preserved.]

The beds of sand, clay, and gravel penetrated by this well represent material brought 

down from the mountains to the south by streams flowing into San Francisco Bay and laid 

down in alluvial fans or in deltas. Individual beds vary considerably in thickness within 

short distances and are not persistent, so that logs of neighboring wells often show notable 

differences. Two water-bearing zones are recognized, however, the upper yielding water 

by pumping and the lower giving flows. The water from the lower zone is often notably 

pure.

The sands, greensands, and clays penetrated by this well are of Pleistocene and Cretaceous age. As a jet rig was used, some samples may show a mixture of the particular beds 

penetrated with material washed from strata above. The section is remarkable chiefly 

for the thickness of the Potomac (early or fresh-water Cretaceous) formations. They are - 

characterized by red and white clay and sand, as the overlying late or marine Cretaceous 

is characterized by beds of sand containing glauconite, known as greensands. The formations, in downward order, are Columbia (Pleistocene), Rancocas, Monmouth, and Matawan 

(late Cretaceous), Magothy, and Potomac group (early Cretaceous).

223. Well at Jacksonville, Duval County.

[Well begun August, 1903; completed October, 1903. Authority, R. N. Ellis, superintendent waterworks. No samples preserved by Survey.]

The sand and gravel penetrated from 15 to 35 feet are probably of Pleistocene age. The 

formations tying below, it is believed, are late Tertiary, though the water-bearing limestone 

at the bottom may be equivalent to the Vicksburg (lower Oligocene). The beds, as shown 

by samples from neighboring wells, differ from those penetrated by deep borings at Savannah and other points on the south Atlantic coast in. the large proportion of limestone. 

The beds from 750 to 860 feet, described as rock, are limestone or silicified phases of it; 

probably other "rock" beds are also. The "black gravel" mentioned in various beds 

from 50 feet down to 470 feet is most likely dark, fine and coarse, smoothly rounded 

nodules of uncertain origin.

[Authority, John F. Lafferty. No samples.]

This record shows the general character of the formations penetrated by the gas and oil 

wells in the southern part of the Illinois field. The formations are part of the Carboniferous system and much the greater portion of them are included in the Pennsylvanian or 

Coal Measures series. The sandstones at 1,134-1,196 feet may be the basal sandstones 

of the series, corresponding to the Mansfield sandstone of the Indiana geologists.

This record gives a section at one of the few gas and oil pools in Indiana that occur in 

other rocks than those of the .Trenton group. The pay sand in this, the Loogoptee pool, has 

been referred to the Devonian and called the equivalent of the Onondaga (Corniferous) of 

New York. This, however, is clearly impossible, since, according to a section across southern Indiana, given in the twenty-sixth annual report of the State survey, the stratigraphic 

equivalent of the Onondaga must lie over 1,200 feet below the surface at Loogootee. Almost 

as wrong is its correlation as "Huron, Kaskaskia in part," since the Kaskaskia was probably 

passed through within the first 200 feet. The pay sand is referred to the top of the 

Knobstone formation of the Mississippian series of the Carboniferous system. .

[Well begun December 1,1905; completed December 18,1905. Authority, T. B. Mack, driller. Incomplete set of samples preserved. Geologic correlations by E. O. Ulrich.]

This well is in the Hominy Creek pool, which includes the wells in the strip of oil-producing territory near Tulsa. The oil is found in sandstones belonging to the Pennsylvania!! 

series of the Carboniferous system. The formations penetrated by this well have not 

been given formation names, except the two limestones which outcrop to the east, the 

Oologah and the Fort Scott. Between the latter and the Mississippian are possibly over 

5,000 feet of shales and sandy beds, compared with 450 feet in Kansas.

[Well begun in October, 1904; completed in June, 1905. Authority, Waterloo Water Company, owner. 

Log compiled from samples by S. Sanford. Geologic correlations'by E. 0. Ulrich.]

This record is of unusual interest, since it shows a remarkably close agreement with the 

hypothetical depths of the various strata given by Prof. W. H. Norton in a contribution 

to Water-Supply and Irrigation Paper No. 145, written some months before drilling began.

No samples were saved to 100 feet, the well being sunk to that point through clay, 

lime rock, and quicksand streaks, the material caving badly and making progress slow. 

The formations represented by samples are, to follow Norton's classification: Devonian 

limestone and shale, Niagara limestone (Silurian); Hudson (or Maquoketa) shale, Galena 

and Platteville limestone, St. Peter sandstone, Oneota limestone (Ordovician), Jordan 

sandstone, St. Lawrence dolomite (Cambrian). *

This well is in the famous natural-gas field that covers a considerable area about lola. 

The gas is found in sandstone lentils in the Cherokee shale, the bottom member of the 

Pennsylvanian series of the Carboniferous system of rocks in southeastern Kansas and 

northern Indian Territory. The formations penetrated by this gas are all included in the 

Pennsylvanian series. They are, in descending order, lola limestone, Chanute shale, 

Bronson limestone, Dudley .shale, Parsons limestone, Bandera shale, Pawnee limestone, 

Labette shale, Fort Scott limestone, Cherokee shale.

The geology of the gas field has been described at some length in Bulletin No. 238, 

"Economic geology of the lola quadrangle," by George I. Adams, Erasmus Haworth, and 

W. R. Crane.

City Gas, Oil, and Mineral Company, owner. No samples preserved above 1,500 feet; complete 

series below.]

This well was sunk as a prospect. The nearest deep well is at Emporia, about 18 

miles east. Neither oil nor gas was found in paying quantity, but the log is of interest, 

since samples of cuttings were preserved at 5 to 15 foot intervals below 1,500 feet. The 

driller seems to have noted all changes in the formations, but his descriptions are not 

exact enough to render the log above 1,500 feet of much value, hence it is not given in 

detail.
222 RECORD OF DEEP-WELL DRILLING FOR 1905.

Rocks of Permian age outcrop in the higher ground about Strong City, but the rocks 

penetrated by this well all belong to the Pennsylvanian series (Coal Measures) of the 

Carboniferous system. Owing to the imperfect character of the log above 1,500 feet, it 

is not possible to correlate the formations with those that outcrop in the State farther to 

the east.

feet strong brine overflowed the casing.

As this well apparently started about 200 feet below the top of the Garrison formation, 

which is taken as the uppermost member of the Pennsylvanian, or Coal Measures series 

of Kansas, and as the Coal Measures are about 2,700 feet thick, the bottom of the well 

was probably 500 feet above the Mississippian, but may have reached the Cherokee shale.

487. Well near Burlington, Coffey County.

[Well begun in December, 1904; completed in January, 1905. Authority, Loy & Wilson, contractors

No samples.]

This is the log of a wild-cat well, not credited with having found oil or gas. The rocks 

belong to the Pennsylvanian division of the Carboniferous system, the driller stopping at 

the underlying "Mississippi limestone" (Boone formation). The hole shows the full thickness of the Cherokee shale and the included limestone (or sandstone) lentils. The well 

apparently started above the horizon of the Oread limestone, or over 1,000 feet above the 

top of this shale. . While most of the intervening formations have been studied by surface 

outcrops and well records in the lola quadrangle to the southeast, variations in thickness of 

the various beds of limestone and shale make correlation difficult.

[Well begun April 21,1905; abandoned September 28, 1905. Authority, C. P. Fogelstrom, president 

Junction City Oil and Mining Company. No samples.] 

This well is of interest from its location and depth. The deepest well in the same section 

.of the State is at McFarland, 30 miles east. The nearest important oil and gas producing 

area is in Alien County, about 95 miles southeast. The Junction City well starts at the 

base of the Permian, or at the top of the Pennyslvanian series. As the McFarland well 

shows the Coal Measures to be there more than 2,500 feet thick, it is doubtful if the 

Junction City well penetrated the bottom member of the series, the Cherokee shale. Incidentally, the log shows the necessity of starting a well to go through the upper shales of the 

Pennsylvanian of central Kansas with a large diameter, owing to the caving of the beds.

Mr. Fogelstrom says: "This was the second well drilled for the Junction City Oil and 

Mining Company. This was abandoned on account of being started too small. A light 

flow of oil was struck near the bottom, but soon water was again struck and, being unable 

to case it off, drilling was abandoned."

[Well begun in 1904; drilling stopped in June, 1905. Authority, Jeff Tourney, of McPherson Prospecting 

Company, contractor. Samples preserved. Log compiled from samples by S. Sanford.]

This well is in the northern portion of the Kansas salt field, and the samples give a 

good idea of the formations penetrated to its depth of 2,225 feet. But one deeper well 

has been put down in the salt fields. That one, having a depth of 2,335 feet, is at Anthony, 

about 85 miles to the south. The deepest well in the State, at Caney, was down 2,600 

feet on March 1, 1906. The McPherson well starts in a formation of earliest Quaternary 

age, the "Equus beds;" below 140 feet comes the Wellington, and below that the Marion 

formation (Permian). The well penetrates the highest limestones and shales of the Pennsylvanian series of the Carboniferous system. As these beds differ somewhat from those 

exposed at the surface farther east, where they have been given formation names, no 

attempt is made to group the beds as formations or to separate the Permian from the 

Pennsylvanian.

[Well begun March 8,1905; completed April 19,1905. Authority. T. B. Wood, owner. Samples preserved. Geologic correlations checked by E. 0. Ulrich.]

The log of this well seems to have been kept with unusual care, the driller's notes and 

the record shown by the samples, most of which were taken'at 5-foot intervals, agreeing 

almost exactly. All the formations belong to the Carboniferous system, the drill passing 

through the lower portion of the Pennsylvanian series and reaching the underlying limestone of the Mississippian. The well starts at about the horizon of the lola limestone. 

The Cherokee shale is shown to be over 465 feet thick. The limestone first penetrated is 

believed to be the lola.

"The 99 feet of limy sandstone, from 746 to 845 feet, probably corresponds to the bed at 

767 to 865 feet in well No. 606. Perhaps the sandstone is Winslow formation and the 

limestone Morrow formation." E. 0. Ulrich.

This well record is of interest in connection with the preceding one, since the log shows 

not only the thickness of the Cherokee shale, the bottom member of the Pennsylvanian, 

but the underlying Mississippian limestones. A fossil shell brought up from 2,065 feet 

was pronounced by E. O. Ulrich to be probably a crushed specimen of Dinorthis sulguadrata, 

indicating that the limestone bed from which it came corresponds in age to the.Maquoketa 

shale of the central Mississippi Valley, the uppermost Ordovician, which, west of Mississippi River, immediately overlies the Trenton. The well penetrates the Pennsylvanian 

and Mississippian series (Carboniferous) and rocks of Devonian, Silurian, and Ordovician 

age.

This well was put down near the eastern edge of the great series of pre-Cambrian (Algonkian) rocks, shales, sandstones, quartzites, and limestones that constitute the mass of the 

Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in the northwest corner of Montana. These rocks 

are. nearly horizontal, but are known to overlie at depth rocks of much later age (Cretaceous), 

this inverse relation being due to a great thrust fault. Seepages of oil at various points 

have caused many oil claims to be located and have led to some deep drilling. All the 

.rocks penetrated by this well are probably of Algonkian age.

Pecos River Valley, from Roswell to McMillan, has become one of the most beautiful 

and densely populated Sections of New Mexico, through the development of a remarkable 

underground-water supply. This well is not among the largest sunk in the valley, but it 

shows what bountiful flows may be obtained by proper care in sinking and casing. The 

beds of clay, sand, and gravel, down to 780 feet, are of post-Tertiary age, and partly fill an 

old rock valley. The underlying sandstone and hard limestone arc part of the Carboniferous system. A detailed account of the geology of part of Pecos River Valley and the 

development of the artesian water is given in Water-Supply arid Irrigation Paper No. 155,

[Well begur May 12,1905: completed July 24, 1905. Authority, James Douglas, contractor. Incomplete set of samples preserved. Geologic correlations by S. Sanford.]

This well, though it found neither oil nor gas in paying quantities, is of interest from 

its depth, being the deepest reported from Ohio, and also from the great thickness of the 

salt beds penetrated. The age of these beds is disputed. They have been assigned to 

the same period as the Cayuga group (Silurian) of New York, but the State geologist was 

inclined to include them in the Helderberg (latest Silurian). The overlying formations 

are of Mississippian (lower Carboniferous) and Devonian age and are thus classified: Cuyahoga and Sunbury shales and Berea grit (Mississippian), Onondaga and Helderberg limestones (Devonian and Silurian), Helderberg and Cayuga salt beds (Silurian). The well 

may also penetrate rocks of the Niagara group (Silurian).

nearly 900 feet. The rocks are of Pennsylvanian age. The rocks outcropping for 25 miles 

west and east and 40 miles north have been grouped together as the Hominy formation 

(Pennsylvanian), including the Pottawatomie, Douglas, Shawnee, Wabaunsee, Cottonwood, 

and Neosho formations of the Kansas geologists, and have a thickness of over 1,500 feet. 

The depth to Mississippian rocks at Cleveland is unknown, but may be 10,000 feet.

This deep well shows the formations underlying the Pittsburg coal for nearly 2,600 feet. 

The rocks are of Carboniferous including Permian, Pennsylvanian, and Mississippian and 

Devonian age. The formations represented are Washington (Permian)} Monongahela, 

Conemaugh, Allegheny, and Pottsville (Pennsylvanian); and Mauch Chunk and Pocono, or 

Big Injun (Mississippian). Below the Pocono are sandstones and shales of. Devonian age 

which have not been given formation names, though certain sandstones are recognized by 

drillers and have been named.

1905. Authority, W. E. Sandborn, superintendent Tidewater Pipe Company, owner. Samples 

preserved. Log compiled from samples by S. Sanford. Geologic correlations by R. W. Stone.]

This deep well gives a section in the Blossburg syncline, a broad fold the axis of which 

passes west of the well. The formations penetrated are of Devonian age and include the 

lower part of the Catskill-Pocono group (the Cattaraugus formation of Tioga County to the 

northwest) and part of the Chemung formation. The Cattaraugus formation is characterized by red shale and red, brown, and gray sandstones and the Chemung by gray or greenish 

shales and sandstones. The character of these rocks in Tioga County is described in the 

Elkland-Tioga folio (No. 93) of the Geologic Atlas of the United States.

This is one of the deepest wells drilled in southern Somerset County'of .which the Survey 

has record. The well is on the axis of the Deer Park anticline, about midway between 

Great Savage and Meadow mountains. Apparently the first formation penetrated is the 

Jennings. This formation in Garrett County, Md., is 3,000 to 5,000 feet thick and is composed of shales, sandy shales, and sandstones. It contains beds corresponding in age to 

the Chemung, Nunda, and Genesee epochs of the Devonian period. Below it is the Romney 

formation, also Devonian, 1,600 feet thick, of sandstone and shale.

This is a record of 'one of the deepest wells put down in the Grand Valley oil field and is of 

interest as showing the character of the rocks underlying the Third sand, in which most 

wells in the field stopped. The rocks, including the three oil sands, have been called the 

" Venango oil group." They belong to the Catskill-Pocono group and their exact age, 

whether Carboniferous or Devonian, is more or less in doubt.,

[Well completed in 1905. Authority, F. B. Jackson, owner. Samples preserved. Log compiled from

This is the second deepest well drilled in northern Pennsylvania of which the Survey 

has a record. The formations penetrated are probably all of Devonian age. The drill 

passed through the Catskill formation and through the Chemung, Nunda (Portage), Genesee (?), Hamilton, and Marcellus formations (Devonian), if the limestones encountered 

below 3,395 feet correspond to the Onondaga, of New York. The only other well in the 

oil fields of northern Pennsylvania to reach the Onondaga is the Conway well, 3,880 feet 

deep, in Venango County. In the report of the Second Geological Survey of Pennsylvania, Vol. 14, Mr. John F. Carll indicated that the Onondaga might be found under 

Warren at a depth of about 3,000 feet. The oil-bearing sands found in the wells at Warren 

underlie, at an interval of about 300 feet, the sands of the "Venango oil group," which 

contain oil at Grand Valley and elsewhere in the southwestern part of Warren County. 

Owing to the lack of good evidence, no attempt is made to correlate the sandstones penetrated by this well with those reported from the productive wells at Warren and North 

Warren. The well started apparently in the "Venango oil group."

[Well completed in 1905. Authority, Capt. F. W. Cole, constructing quartermaster. No samples. 

Geologic correlations by W. B. Clark.]

This is'one of the very deep wells to obtain good water from sedimentary formations 

underlying the Atlantic Coastal Plain. It is thought that the water-bearing sands 

developed belong to the Potomac formation (early Cretaceous) and that the great mass 

of "marl," sand, and sandstone above 1,820 feet is of late (marine) Cretaceous age. Beds 

of Tertiary age may occur down to a depth of over 500 feet. The samples saved were 

mostly mud which stuck to the drill, and the drillers' use of terms is probably not accurate. 

Exact identification of horizons and the grouping of strata are impossible, owing to the 

present imperfect knowledge regarding the deep-lying formations of the South Carolina 

coast. The log is given because of the depth of the well and the supply of water obtained, 

and also because it shows the general character of. the beds overlying the water-bearing 

formations.

1521. Well near Sail Antonio, Uexar County.

[Well begun April 1, 1904; completed June 1, 1905. Authority, J. P. Benkendorfer, contractor and

driller. No samples.]

A number of deep artesian wells have been drilled in or near San Antonio. The city lies 

in a strip of country between the Gulf Coastal Plain and the Edwards Plateau, the strip 

being a faulted zone in which the flat-lying rocks of the plateau have been more or less 

broken and tilted. Hence records may show considerable variations, even when wells are 

but a short distance apart. The rocks are partly in the Gulf series, or Upper Cretaceous, 

and partly in the Comanche series, or Lower Cretaceous. Those penetrated by this well 

probably belong to these formations: Uvalde (Pliocene), Taylor marl, Austin chalk, Eagle 

- Ford shales (Upper Cretaceous); Buda limestone, Del Rio clays, Georgetown and Edwards 

limestones (Lower Cretaceous).

This well, according to the contractor, is a fair representative of the wells sunk in what is 

known as the Henrietta oil field. The sand, as the log shows, is near surface and the wells 

are mostly small producers. The rocks probably should be included in the Pcnnsylvanian 

series of the Carboniferous system. They are part of the " red beds."

(Coal Measures) series, which, in this part of the Texas coal fields, has been divided by 

the Texas Survey into the Strawn, Canyon, and Cisco groups. The mouth of this well is 

apparently near the base of .the Cisco group, so the ropks mentioned are nearly all in the 

Canyon group. The total thickness of the Coal Measures may be 4,000 feet.

[Well begun December 22, 1904; completed February 16, 1905. Authority, H. B. Goodrich, manager 

fuel-oil properties, Gulf Coast and Santa Fe Railway, owner: No samples.]

This is an excellent log of a big gusher in the Saratoga pool. The oil-bearing rocks of 

this well, as of many others in the Coastal Plain region of southeastern Texas, are of Tertiary age. They are overlain by clays, soft shales, and sands. Here and there the sands 

are consolidated enough to be sandstones, the sand grains being, in some cases, held 

together by a limy cement. Such thin beds of limy sandstone probably constitute most 

of the "rock" reported by drillers. "Gumbo" is a Gulf coast name for sticky clay blue, 

gray, yellow, or mottled in color sometimes containing hard, limy concretions.

An account of the Saratoga and other oil pools is given in Bulletin No. 282, "Oil fields 

of the Texas-Louisiana Gulf coast," by N. M. Fenneman.

1635. Well near Westfieltl, Harris County.

[Well begun November 10,1905; completed November 26,1905. Authority, Harry A. Roberts, driller. 

Incomplete series of samples preserved.]

This log of a well in northern Harris County gives more details than the logs of many 

of the wells put down in the oil fields of Louisiana and Texas. "Gumbo," a word frequently used, means sticky clay. "'Rock" may be thin layers of sandstone or limestone. 

Some of the beds of sand contain strata consolidated enough to be sandstone.

The formations penetrated by this well are of Quaternary and Tertiary age and include 

the Columbia sands (Pleistocene), Lafayette sands, and the underlying beds of clay, sand, 

sandstone, and limestone of undetermined age, which have been correlated with the Grand 

Gulf of Alabama and Mississippi.

The character of these formations and the occurrence of oil in the various pools is described 

in Bulletin No. 282, "Oil fields of the Texas-Louisiana Gulf coast," by N. M. Fenneman.

1641. Well near Kyle, Hays County.

[Well completed in 1903. Authority, J. E. Donnelly, driller. No samples. Geologic correlations

checked by A. C. Veatch.]

This well, drilled for oil 15 miles southeast of Kyle, found at 1,320 feet the same limestone (the Austin chalk) which outcrops in the vicinity of Kyle. The formations penetrated range in age from early Tertiary to middle Cretaceous and include the Lytton 

formation (Eocene), Webberville formation, Taylor marl, Austin chalk, Eagle Ford clay 

and limestone (Upper Cretaceous or Gulf series), Buda limestone (Lower Cretaceous or 

Comanche series). It is not possible from the driller's log to separate the three formations first penetrated. In the "blue clay and bowlders" from 439 to 1,320 feet probably 

about 200 feet of the Austin chalk, its upper marly beds, are included.

The geology of the country near Austin, including a large part of Travis County and 

portions of Hays, Bastrop, and Caldwell counties, is described in the Austin folio (No. 76)

This well obtains water from a permeable bed or reservoir near the base of the Lower 

Cretaceous (Comanche) series. This bed occurs in what has been termed the Trinity 

division of the Lower Cretaceous and is one of the so-called Trinity sands. The well penetrates nearly the full succession of beds in the series, these beds being marls, limestones, 

and clays, with the porous sands or sandstones. The formations, in downward order, 

are Fort Worth, Preston, Edwards, and Comanche Peak limestones and marl, Paluxy 

sand, and Glen Rose formation, including the Trinity sand.

[Well completed in 1903. Authority, W. B. Abney, owner. No samples.]

At Lampasas is a group of noted hot springs that rise from crevices in Carboniferous 

limestone. This well, according to the driller, went down into granite. The nearest 

exposure of granite is on Colorado River, 30 miles to the southwest. Little is known of 

the thickness of the Cambro-Ordovician rocks underlying the Carboniferous, but as they 

may lie nearly horizontal it is possible that the well goes into granite for the distance 

given, though the rocks at the base of the Cambro-Ordovician, in Llano County, to the 

west, are sandstones.

This well, known as the Sun Company Quintette No. 1, on the J. B. Harrison tract, was, 

up to December 1,1905, the deepest hole in the Dayton field. The center of development of 

this field was about one-fourth of a mile farther north. Oil was found there at a depth of. 

about 800 feet. This log shows no striking features; the formations penetrated probably 

include Columbia and Lafayette sands and the " buried beds." The gravel from 240 to 437

1700. Well near Duiilay, Medina County.

[Well completed January 3,1903. Authority, Milo M. Garvin, driller. No samples.]

This well was drilled for oil in a region remote from any productive field. The rocks penetrated are parts of the Gulf series (Upper Cretaceous) and of the Myrick formation (Eocene). 

Of the Cretaceous formations, two, the Anacacho and the Pulliam, carry deposits of asphaltum. These possibly led to the sinking of the well. The Pulliam is below the Anacacho 

formation and above the Austin chalk.

This is the log of a well 5 miles east of Corsicana, in the Powell or heavy-oil field. As a 

rotary rig was used, the samples are not so representative as those obtained by standard 

rigs; still, changes in the formations are shown and as the samples apparently were carefully 

saved the log has more value than if it simply recorded the driller's impressions. The oilbearing sands are found in blue or dark-gray clay shales the Taylor marl which form 

part of the Upper Cretaceous series.

1708. Well 16 miles west of Corpus Christi, Jfueces County.

[Well begun November 17, 1904; completed January 4, 1905. Authority, Thomas Fowler, driller.]

This is the log of a well drilled for water in the southwestern portion of the Gulf Coastal 

Plain of Texas. Comparatively few well records from that section have been published 

and as this log was apparently kept with care it is of interest.

The formations penetrated below 132 feet are thought to be of Pliocene (late Tertiary) 

age and may include beds corresponding to the Reynosa limestone, which outcrops for a 

long distance in eastern McMullen and Duval counties, and also a few miles west of Corpus 

Christi. The'overlying clays and sands may be the equivalent of the Port Hudson (Quaternary) of Mississippi. Below the Reynosa limestone are the Fayette sands (Eocene).

1767. Well at Salt Lake City, Salt .L,ake County.

[Well begun June 23, 1905; completed July 7, 1905. Authority, Frank Yeager, contractor and driller.

No samples.]

This well gives a characteristic section of the alternating beds of clay, sand, and gravel 

that were deposited in Pleistocene time in Lake Bonncville, a great sheet of prevailingly 

fresh water that occupied Salt Lake Valley. Salt Lake is a remnant of Lake Bonneville. 

The water-bearing sands and gravels of the old lake bed lie in lenticular bodies of varying 

extent, so that logs of near-by wells often differ decidedly and there are no definite waterbearing horizons. One well may pass through several water-bearing sands and another 

just as deep a short distance away may not find more than half the number. The character 

of the lake beds and the supplies of water they may yield are described in Water-Supply 

and Irrigation Paper No. 157, "Underground waters of the valleys of Utah Lake and 

Jordan River," by G. B. Richardson.

1783. Well near Carley, Beiitoii County.

[Well completed in 1905. Authority, S. L. Gaines, owner. Incomplete series of samples preserved.]

This well, according to the owner, was drilled between two others, one flowing about 

200 gallons per :ninute with little pressure, the other 400 gallons with a closed pressure of 

33 pounds per square inch. It was drilled to 280 feet on a flow-or-no-pay contract. As the 

log shows, no flow was found by going deeper. The formations are of undetermined 

age. The clay and sand down to 250 feet may correspond to the Ellensburg formation 

farther north and the basalt below to the Yakima basalt (Miocene).

The gas from the limestone at 1,396 feet, initial flow 261,000 cubic feet, and pressure 400 

pounds, was cased off and used for fuel in drilling deeper. Salt water was found at 385 to 

405, 940 to 1,344J, and 1,590 to 1,610 feet. At 940 feet well filled with salt water in two 

hours; estimated inflow, 1,000 barrels in twenty-four hours. Steel-line measurements taken 

to gas at 1,396 feet, to limestone at 1,519 feet; to bottom of 6|-inch casing at l,675i feet, 

to top of Berea at 2,100 feet, to bottom of Berea at 2,125 feet, and to bottom of hole 2,128 

feet. Sand at 2,100 feet shot with 40 quarts of nitroglycerin with good results. Well

tubed and shut in.

1803. Well near Bridgeport, Harriscm County.

[Well begun June 22, 1904; completed January 11, 1905. Authority, Hope Natural Gas Company, 

owner. No samples. Geologic correlations by R. W. Stone.]

No record has been published from Harrison County, and few from the State, of a well 

going deeper below the Pittsburg coal than this. The Wheeling well (4,500 feet), the 

deepest in the State, went 4,170 feet below the Pittsburg. In the "lime, sand, and shells" 

from 3,000 to 3,280 feet may be the Speechley sand of Pennsylvania. The Bayard or Sixth 

sand, regarded as the basal member of the Catskill beds by the West Virginia Survey, does 

not seem to have been noticed. It lies 2,410 feet below the Pittsburg coal in Marion County 

and, on the average, 2,433 feet in eastern Greene County, Pa. This well, starting just above 

the Pittsburg coal, the bottom of which marks the top of the Conemaugh formation of the 

Pennsylvanian series, passed through the Conemaugh and also the Allegheny and Pottsville. 

formations of the Pennsylvanian, the Mauch Chunk and Pocono of the Mississippian, and 

then into the Devonian rocks below the Carboniferous, through the "Venango.oil group" 

sands of the Pocono-Catskill group and into the Chemung.

[Well begun July 11, 1905; completed September 13, 1905. Authority, Fayette County Gas Company, 

owner. No samples. Geologic correlations by R. W. Stone.]

This skeleton log of a big gas well in the Mannington pool shows the depths to the various 

sands. The well started in the Permian (?) series of the Carboniferous and the pay sands 

are in the "CatskiH" formation of the Devonian. The well consequently penetrated the 

Permian, Monongahela, Conemaugh, and Allegheny formations (Pennsylvanian) and 

Maunch Chunk and Pocono formations (Mississippian) of the Carboniferous and entered 

the Devonian.

feet of 4-inch tubing. The big pay was in the Fifth sand at 2,858 feet. When shut in by 

the 4-inch tubing it showed good, after blowing open four days, for a little more than 

16,000,000 cubic feet in twenty-four hours. Initial rock pressure, 760 pounds per square 

inch; minute pressure, 575 pounds. The other pays showed good for about 2,000,000 feet. 

"The Dunkard sand seems to be near the horizon of the Freeport, while the Fifty-foot, 

Gantz, Gordon, and Fourth are all misnamed, although the Fifth sand seems to be at its 

proper horizoni These intervals do not fall in the proper place, as determined by the 

averages of many records in Pennsylvania. Furthermore, the Gantz has been described 

as above the Fifty-foot rather than below it." R. W. Stone.

.[Wellcompleted in 1905. Authority, South Penn Oil Company, owner. No samples. Geologic correlations by R. W. Stone.]

Oil has been found at greater depth in this well than in any other of which the Survey has 

record. It is believed to be the deepest producing oil well in the world. The log gives 

little more than the depth and thickness of the various sands. The formations penetrated 

range in age from Permian (?) to Devonian and should include these: Dunkard group 

(Permian), Monongahela, Conemaugh, Allegheny, and Pottsville formations (Pennsylvanian), Mauch Chunk, and Pocono, including Big Injun (Mississippian), and oil-bearing 

sands, including those below the Fifty-foot, of "Catskill" age (Devonian).
