COST OF OIL DRILLING.
Expensive Operation That Requires
Skill and Ingenuity.
(New York Curb News)

NNeW YORK CurD NeWS)
The cost of drilling an oil well var
les greatly in different parts of the
country. Drilling at present is great
deal more expensive than it was two
years ago before material and labor
costs had risen to their present levels.
The drilling of we'll to the Wall
creek formation in Wyoming is said TO
require AN expenditure of from $4,000
to $4,000. Wells to the Bartlesville
sand in Oklahoma, which is penetrated
at a depth of from 2200 to 1900 feet,
may be roughly estimated to cost from
$4,000 to $4,000. In the West Vir-
GINA field, where it is some times ne
cessary to go deeper than $500 feet,
the cost is said to be proportionately
greater. Wells in the Yale-Quay dis
trict in Oklahoma are reported to cost
at present from $4,000 to 100000. The
wells average about $3.50 feet in depth.
Shallow wells in the Kentucky field
can be drilled for much less as also
can wells to the shallow sands in the
other fields. These figures are merely
rough estimates, and might be chang
ed greatly by the encountering of diff
ficulties such as a crooked hole, lost
or jammed tools or collapsed casing.
The oil driller's task is one which
requires a great deal of ingenuity,
because of the numerous problems
with which he must cope. Now and
then a cable breaks, and it is necessary
to fish" for the tools, or it may be ne
cessary to under-ream. In fact, the
difficulties that driller may encoun-
ter would fill a volume.
Despite the expense involved and the
difficulty Of the task, there is a rela-
lively small percentage of failures in
the drilling of oil wells in proven ter
ritory. In the Mid Continent fields, for
instance, it is asserted that only 10 to
Is per cent of the wells drilled are
failures; while figures for oklahoma
show that nearly 80 per cent out of a
total of $4,000 We're successful.
