How Deep Is An Oil Well? Mississippi
Average Is Deeper Than Other States

problem is one reason why Wild
eat drilling activity in Mississippi
is not greater than il is; they
know that geological structures
definitely outlined give slight
promise of any shallow produc-
ton and it is necessary to go
deep" for any trace of oil.
Special Rigs Needed
Since an average drilling rig is
equipped TO go to only about 5000
feet, this means that special
equipment is needed for deep
tests; it also means that it costs
a great deal more to drill an or
binary wildcat in Mississippi than
in any other oil producing state.
because the greater the depth, the
greater the proportionate cost.
Of the so-called deep drilling
STATES" Louisiana's record is next
10 Mississippi's with an average
6.669 feet; Florida is 6.2s5; Ala
bama is 5.l4l feet; fabulous Tex
as. with far the greatest produc-
ton iof any state. is only 4.054
feet; California. which has had

1890 feet and Wyoming 4.oos feet.

Without going into too many
statistics, Mississippi had 1348
producing oil wells when this tab
ulation was made earlier this
year; of them, 1872 were produc-
ing from below 10000 feet - all
of the rich Cranfield, Brookhaven
and Mallalieu fields wells are
deeper than 10000. There were
l24 wells producing from 5000
to 10000 feet; lib from 5000 to
5000 and only TIA less than 5000
feet, and of these all are in the
5000 foot class.
Deepest Is $4,000
Deepest producing we'll in Mis-
sissippi is the Gulf Refining Com
pany's No. l Majors in Jones
county, the discovery we'll of the
Ovett field, which produces from
exactly $4,000 feet, as we'll as
from perforations slightly above
that. Deepest wildcat drilled in
the state, and abandoned as dry
with no production, is the Supe-
rior Oil Company's Cassie Brad
ford test in Forrest county, drilled
to 1890 feet before the drillers
finally gave up.
The answer to show deep is an
oil well" seems to be sin Missis-
sippi it's plenty deep.
