University of Kentucky, August 14, 1919. Lexington, Ky. 378G51 TN INTRODUCTION The Oil and Gas Resources of Kentucky will prove a real contribution to the scientific literature relating to Kentucky. Professor W. R. Jillson was particularly well equipped for preparing this work. He came to Ken- tucky to do consulting geological work from Tulsa, Okla- homa, the Mid-Continent Oil Field. He was for a year an active element in the Department of Geology at the University of Kentucky. Professor Jillson has done a very great deal of con- sulting work in oil and gas and has investigated every field of importance in the State. As a consequence he lias become familiar with the possibilities of oil and gas wealth in Kentucky from a practical as well as a geolog- ical standpoint. He is a man of unlimited energy. In the production of this book he has, in my opinion, not only given freely of his own geologic knowledge concerning the oil and gas resources of this State, but he has collaborated and expanded other information of the most valuable char- acter, rendering it useful at this important period of Kentucky development. F. PAUL ANDERSON, Dean, College of Engineering, University of Kentucky, August 14, 1919. Lexington, Ky. 378G51 PKEFACE For over a century Kentucky has been a producer of Petroleum and Natural Gas. Since 1890, this State has been an important producer of these present day living necessities. However it was not until about 1903 r when the Cannel City pool of Wolfe County was opened up with gusher production from a few important wells,, that the eyes of the oil producing world turned earnest- ly towards this State. Succeeding development produced nothing startling in the way of large steady production until 1916, when the extension of the Irvine pool was proven. In 1917, the opening of the Ashley pool, and in 1918, the drilling of the Big Sinking pool, with its tremendous produc- tion placed Kentucky in the list as one more of the im- portant states in the Appalachian Oil and Gas Field. Al- though surpassed in total value of oil and gas production by West Virginia and Pennsylvania, the new Kentucky fields have nevertheless attracted nation wide attention ; tens of thousands of wells have been drilled in the eastern and southern sections of the State; and the position of Kentucky as an important oil and gas producer has be- come thoroughly established. During the period of the development of the oil and gas resources of the State of Kentucky, the various Geological surveys of this State, have contributed many important investigations and reports. Of these, two re- ports are of outstanding importance both of which have been exhausted in edition. These are Edward Orton, Sr., "Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Asphalt Eock in Southern Kentucky 1891," and J. B. Hoeing, "Oil and Gas Sands of Kentucky 1905." Altogether about one hundred and fifteen articles or separate papers have been written at various times, either specially on or with reference to the oil and gas in this State. The most of these have bee 1 ! prepared within the last score of years. Taken collectively they have been of enormous benefit to the oil and gas operators, working in this State. x OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY The office of geological investigation in any state is to secure the scientific and practical information re- specting the state's resources. Such information must be largely general, rather than specific in order to be applicable. No state report can ever be expected to cover the details of particular properties, and in fact, such is not the intention in preparing any government report. The material in a state report must only be considered as a guide, to any particular locality. Accurate and de- tailed information on any property must necessarily be compiled by some geologist who has been on the prop- erty in question. Such a man will be familiar, through personal experience, with the conditions there present. The value of any report, large or small, will always be determined by the measure in which it serves, as a 1 guide to the development over the broad section, which its subject matter covers. During the past three years oil production in Ken- tucky has increased by leaps and bounds. From the total State production of 752,635 barrels in 1916, Kentucky has risen to what is now estimated, will be, seven million five hundred thousand (7,5000,000) barrels of crude oil in 1919. This rapid expansion has brought into this State, thousands of operators and drillers. The material wealth of the State has been increased very greatly, the estimated total value of the oil and gas production for the present year being in itself about twenty-two mil- lion of dollars ($22,000,000). New capital in the form of developmental money has also come into the State, and it is noteworthy that those sections of Kentucky which are now producing the most oil, have been raised in standard from those of comparative poverty and poor living, to ones of comparative luxury. Within the last few months the discovery of new extensive deposits of oil and gas has been made at points far from the limits of producing territory, and it is entirely possible, if not probable, that before another year rolls around still other deposits of comparative value will be found, in other sections of the State. In the face of a very widespread demand in this and other states for reliable and scientific information, concerning! the oil and gas geology, and the oil and OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY xi gas prospects in all parts of Kentucky, sufficient time was not allowed for the preparation of a carefully com- piled and detailed report. The very limited resources in the way of appropriations given this Department, have precluded many important field examinations. Much of the material herewith produced has been taken from the private consulting geological reports of the author. Data has also been freely drawn from many valuable published reports. It may be said that the present re- port is offered to the public by the Department of Geo- logy and Forestry, at a time when it is very greatly needed. Because of the peculiar circumstances attend- ing, it may be further stated, that this bulletin has been prepared without any special appropriation or expense to the State, as the principal work has been done by the writer, during his term of office, in addition to his reg- ular work. In preparing this report, the author has endeavored to harmonize popular and scientific news. The in- formation which is demanded must necessarily be of a scientific nature, yet not too scientific; it must be of an ac- curate nature in some detail, and yet it must be under- standable by those that have not been trained in the science of geology. It has been somewhat difficult to bring together these two view points, and it must re- main for the reader to determine in what measure the effort has been a success. Most every one is interested in knowing some thing about the occurrence of oil and gas in nature. It has been the author's special deter- mination to make the text specific enough for all who read this bulletin to grasp the outstanding facts concerning this illusive and incompletely solved problem.

THE RE-BORN OIL FIELDS OF KENTUCKY Much has been said, but considerably less has been written of an authentic nature, concerning the now right- ly famous oil fields of Kentucky. To-day the thought which is on the minds of not less than ten million in- vestors in the eastern United States, concerning the suc- cess of this rapidly developing oil State, justifies some truthful statement with respect to the really marvelous growth which has taken place. Toward the end of the year 1914, and during the early part of 1915, the production of Kentucky crude petroleum was fast ebbing. Complete and accurate figures for these two years show a total production for the whole State of Kentucky rapidly declining below 500,000 barrels per annum. It was sagely predicted at this time by many, as it had often been predicted before, that Kentucky as. an oil State would soon take her place in oblivion, and for a time with large new production from new fields in Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming jumping ahead with lighting-like rapidity, so as to cause even the most expert calculators to indulge in mental calisthenics, this seemed to be about the truth. However, a great surprise was in store for those pessimists, and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of small salaried persons owning a speculative disposition, for whom oil stocks handled on low margins were to provide continuous entertainment, never knew of the interesting things which were immediately in store for them. It all happened in the first part of 1916, when Charles Dulin, an oil operator at Irvine, Estill County, Ky., drilled in a well of promise in a hitherto untested section on Cow Creek. For a time, the results obtained in this well did not become public information, but sooner or later the whole information of the big strike leaked out, and a wild scramble ensued for acreage in the im- mediate vicinity. Oil & Gas 1 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY JESSE OLIVER LEASE, ALLEN COUNTY. This is a small lease of about twenty-one acres, but an excellent producing property. Fifteen wells are pumping on this farm. Many farmers in this section have sold their royalty and surface rights and moved away leaving the operators undisturbed. Photo by W. R. Jill- son, July 10, 1919. This period witnessed then the rebirth of the Ken- tucky oil fields, and ushered in a time of such renewed activity and such large rapid production as this State, or any of the immediately adjoining states, had never before seen. Drillers, contractors, brokers, promoters, salesmen, mechanics, supply men and what not kind of in- dividuals followed one another rapidly by tens and by hundreds into Kentucky from the older fields of Penn- sylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas and Oklahoma. In almost less time than it takes to tell it, housing conditions at Irvine became entirely inade- quate. The hospitality of farmers in the immediate vicinity was severely overtaxed, and the hotels of more distant cities like Winchester, Lexington and Mt. Sterling were clogged with men who had made the "Klondike Eush" to Kentucky. In the face of the most difficult drilling conditions, development .went forward, and before the end of 1916, the production of Kentucky stood at one million barrels with every weekly pipe line run showing remarkable and THE RE-BORN OIL FIELDS OF KENTUCKY SHALLOW DRILLING IN ROSS CREEK, ESTILL COUNTY.

By the end of 1917, the pro- duction had risen to three million barrels and at the end of 1918, the increase had not stopped at four mil- lion. The year 1919, the greatest year in the oil history of Kentucky, which has witnessed the development and zenith flush production of such pools as the Ashley, the Big Sinking, the Scottsville, and the Gainesville, it is thought will show a total production of crude oil in Ken- tucky of at least 7,500,000 barrels if the present produc- tion continues. Already, with six months of this year past, the figures still incomplete show a total of 3,142,488 barrels, which is greater than the total production of the year 1917, and larger by many thousands of barrels than all of the production from the State of Kentucky prior to the year 1900. KENTUCKY, AN OIL STATE ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD. In order to get a true idea of the importance of re- cent development in Kentucky in oil and gas, it is nec- essary to look backward over a whole century to the year 1819, when Martin Beatty of Abingdon, Virginia, drilled in the first oil well in Kentucky on the South Fork of the Cumberland River close to the Tennessee 4 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY line in what is now McCreary County, but was then Wayne County. Beatty had no idea that he was going to get oil. In fact he did not want oil, and knew nothing about oil. He was drilling a shallow well for salt, which OHIO COUNTY OIL PROPERTIES. View of the Howard No. 1 well which was drilled to a total depth of 1,740 feet in 1913. Photo by W. R. Jillson. at that day and time, with railroads unknown, and over- land mountain transportation extremely difficult and laborious, was a necessity of much greater importance. THE RE-BORN OIL FIELDS 'OF KENTUCKY 5 Written records of this early well are few and vague, but it may be supposed that the inhabitants of this sec- tion, as well as Beatty, the driller himself, were dis- gusted when they secured oil, for their chances of re- covering salt brine from such a well were spoiled. The farmers in this section, however, soon found that this new rock oil hence the newly coined word, " petroleum" had some advantages, which they did not at first suspect. It came to be regarded as a universal cure-all for many kinds of ills to which the huamn flesh falls heir, and was also discovered to be of some service in ridding hogs and other farm animals of vermin. Cumberland County, forty miles to the west, follow- ed in 1828 with flowing oil production from what are now known to be the Upper Ordovician rocks. Here was developed at Burkesville again as the result of salt water well prospecting what came to be known through- out the world as the Great American well. The man who drilled it, whose name has since been lost, said that he would either get salt water or drill into hell. He did not realize that he was going to be forced to literally eat his words, but when flowing production was encountered at a shallow depth and the oil and gas escaping caught fire, lie, following the superstitious tendencies of his class, thought that he had opened up the infernal regions be- neath. Report, again coming from the lips of very old inhabitants of this section, has it that he acknowledged that he had failed in getting salt, but had done what he had promised and opened the door to higher thermal regions. He was so thoroughlv convinced of his failure that he did not stop to sell his belongings, but immedi- ately left the country, returning in disgust to his native hills in Pennsylvania. The oil from this phenomenal well flowed unrestrain- ed down the little branch in which it was drilled into the Cumberland River, to a point forty miles below Burkes- ville, where a grass fire ignited it and resulted in the very unusual phenomenon of a burning river, for the flames cre> mile W. of Bowling Green, Warren Co., Ky.

KENTUCKY NATURAL GAS The natural gas production of Kentucky is but partially commercialized for lack of extension pipe lines from the various developed gas fields to the trunk pipe lines. Crossing the State from east to west are two main trunk pipe lines. One of these, the Kentucky Pipe Line a twelve-inch line extends from Inez, in Martin County, to the city of Louisville, which it serves through the Louisville Gas and Electric Company. This line is sup- posed to carry twelve million cubic feet of natural gas daily, but probably, as a matter of fact, carries some- what less. The line was laid and connected in 1907 and the first as carried by it came from both the Martin County field and West Virginia sources. However, dur- ing the last twelve years the Martin County field has shown considerable and rapid decline in both rock pres- sure and volume and for this reason an increasingly larger supply has come to be taken from the West Vir- ginia compressor station at Kermit on the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy Elver.

This important transportation station is located at Kermit just across the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River, from Martin County. It is owned and operated by the United Fuel Gas Company. Photo by A. M. Miller. THE CENTRAL KENTUCKY NATURAL GAS PIPE LINE The second of these large trunk gas lines, that of the Central Kentucky Natural Gas Pipe Line Company, extends from Inez, in Martin County, to Lexington and then with extension to Frankfort. This gas has within the last eight months connected as a source of additional supply from Eastern Kentucky, the newly developed gas fields of Paint Creek in Johnson and Magoffin coun- ties, and Laurel Creek of Johnson and Lawrence coun- ties. The Paint Creek extension is four-inch. The Laurel Creek extension is six-inch tubing. Compressors are al- ready working on the Laurel Creek line and will soon be in operation on the Paint Creek line. It is estimated that the Central Kentucky Natural Gas Company is now tak- ing about between two and three million cubic feet volume of gas from these two new fields combined. This amount does not in any, except a small \vay, indicate what the capacity of these two gas structures will be when they are fully developed and connected to the compressor stations. Further to the west this main trunk gas line connects with the Menifee gas field where a large com- 40 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY pressor station is located. This pipe line serves besides the larger cities of Frankfort and Lexington, the smaller cities of Mt. Sterling, Paintsville, Versailles, Midway, Winchester and Paris. The Central Kentucky Natural Gas Pipe Line Com- pany's line from Inez to Lexington is 10 inches. From Lexington the line is 8-inch to the Versailles "cut in" and from there on 6 inches to Frankfort. This line from Lexington to Frankfort and Versailles is owned and op- erated by the Frankfort Natural Gas Company. Between six and nine million cubic feet volume of gas is trans- ported daily by the Central Kentucky Natural Gas main trunk pipe line. Aside from the two or three million cubic feet of gas now being taken by this company from the new Paint Creek and Laurel Creek fields in Johnson, Magoffin and Lawrence counties, the greater part of the gas comes from West Virginia, through the Kermit com- pressor station. The Menifee field, once the principal source of supply of this pipe line, now varies from a very small contributor to simply a ready reserve supply. The Menifee to Lexington line was first installed in 1905 and was continued further eastward to Inez in 1912. The Paris extension was made in 1913 and the Frankfort ex- tension was connected up in the fall of 1915.

GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION OF KENTUCKY NATURAL GAS The greatest natural gas province of Kentucky will always be the eastern portion of the State. Some gas pro- duction has been secured at a number of widely distri- buted points and some of the southern-central counties have materially increased their gas development during the past year. Yet none of this newer gas area promises anything like the established territories of Eastern Ken- tucky. The facts in the case are these: Besides Menifee and Martin there are at least a full dozen or fifteen coun- ties in the Eastern Coal Field which with careful scien- tific and systematic development may be looked upon as a great gas reserve. It is an assured fact that sufficient 42 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY natural gas for conserved domestic consumption in Ken- tucky may be secured from this now partly developed group of gas fields for a great many years. Since it is admitted by both the practical and the theoretical oil and gas producer that the drill is the ulti- mate agent in determining the occurrence of oil or gas in commercial quantity in the deep rocks, it will not be difficult for the layman to accept the facts presented by completed prospecting drillings in various parts of East- ern Kentucky. Without going into a length of tedious de- tail, which could scarcely add anything to the accuracy of this statement, it is a demonstrable fact that enough large gas wells have been drilled in Morgan, Lawrence, Elliott, Johnson, Magoffin, Floyd, Pike, Breathitt, Knott, Perry, Owsley, Wolfe and Knox counties to demonstrate beyond doubt the justifiableness of the claims of these above named counties to widespread recognition as a great untapped commercial natural gas reserve. In these counties absolute figures based upon accurate measure- ments will show at the present time not less and probably more than 40,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas in open flow at the tubing head. Eight gas structures alone in Eastern Kentucky taken together show a measured open flow volume of 28,230,000 cubic feet of natural gas. Out of this large amount about four million feet has just recently been taken over by the Central Kentucky Natural Gas Co. Considered as a whole, however, of this forty million^ cubic feet "index" gas probably not one- tenth is serving any commercial purpose. The most of it remains "shut in" and unused, for the operators who drilled it in were searching for crude oil or petroleum and had no use for the gas. To what commercial maxi- mum volume this "index" 40,000,000 cubic feet may be increased is at present impossible to say, but the figures will be many times greater than the "index" volume. The larger part of this gas is located at some distance from any public service trunk pipe line, and therefore is at the present time of slight commercial importance except as an "index" to 'producing possibilities.

THE ORIGIN OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS. Historical references to petroleum and natural gas may b6 found among the earliest written records of man. There .is probably no doubt but that the earliest nations knew and used these two now famous natural hydrocar- bons, tho 'little is to be found in written records concern- ing them. Despite this early knowledge, little progress has been made by man, even to the present day, when these two substances have come to take such an import- ant economic value, in determining their ultimate source and origin. Altho we know a great deal about their chemical constituency, their interrelations and commer- cial grades, we are not much wiser concerning the source of petroleum and natural gas than were our very earli- est ancestors. Many suggestions and hypotheses have been advanced by various- scientists, around whom have been developed schools of ardent advocates, but up to the present time no one conception of source has been universally accepted, nor have any of them passed be- yond the stage of theory. As a matter of fact, most of these views of origin or source are based upon chemical relations developed in laboratories in a small sort of way during a comparatively short time, arid are therefore not directly comparable to the means or the scale or the time employed for the production of these hydrocarbons in the natural way. It is. therefore, perhaps wise to sim- ply present the principal lines of thought surrounding this subject and allow the reader to form, if he wishes, his own conclusion. The theories of source or origin of petroleum and natural gas may be generally separated into two divis- ions: (1) Those views which attribute an inorganic ori- gin. (2) Those attributing organic origin. 44 PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS 45 THE INORGANIC THEORY. It may be well to state at the outset that the promul- gators of this, the inorganic theory of origin of petro- leum and nautral gas, were for the most part men who were chemists and who actually knew very little of the geologic conditions which surround the occurrence of oil and gas in the natural condition in the earth's crust As far as the writer is informed, the men who are advo- cating this, the inorganic theory, depend entirely upon chemical proofs and chemical hypotheses. Very few, if any, oil and gas geologists have ever endorsed this mode of origin, and it would seem that this fact alone must serve to condemn the theory to some extent. Had there been any indications of its application in a practical way, it seems reasonable to suppose that such application would have been noted and developed at least theoreti- cally long ago. The two promulgators of the Inorganic Theory may be said to be the distinguished French chemist, Berthe- lot, and the brilliant Russian chemist, Mendeljieff. Berthelot did his work and advanced his ideas in 1866. He assumed that the alkali metals, potassium and so- dium, existing uncombined and at high temperatures in the interior of the earth, produced a series of hydrocar- bons whenever underground waters, carrying carbon in solution, found access to them. His idea was that the production of petroleum and natural gas would contin- uously take place at from moderate to great depths within the earth's crust, in the entire absence of organic substances. Mendeljieff, assuming a somewhat parallel tho an entirely different conception, assumed the inte- rior of the earth to be composed of great masses of metallic carbides and iron at a high temperature. His theory conceived the production of metal oxides and hy- drocarbons upon the contact of water with these afore- named substances. His theory, like Berthelot 's, was one which allowed the assumption of a more or less contin- uous small production of petroleum and natural gas as long as the supply of metallic carbides was available. Both of these theories presupposed the continual generation of the hydrocarbons constituting the petro- leum and natural gas as long as the source substances 46 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY remained, a fact which has never been substantiated by the history of producing fields. Advocates of the inor- ganic theory today claim that the generation of these hydrocarbons requires a much greater length of time than that which has been allotted by the practical ob- server of oil and gas fields. They point, with a measure of pride, to the somewhat puzzling conditions of occur- rence of petroleum and natural gas in Mexico and por- tions of the Gulf Coastal Plain of the United States. While it is true that in these localities associated with the oil and gas are igneous formations, hot water, sulphur and salt, and it is also a fact that we do not today 1 thoroly understand the full geologic conditions of the actual details of their occurrence in these fields, it may be pointed out that the reference to these fields as a proof of the inorganic theory is entirely unacceptable for world-wide conditions do not 'parallel this cited mode" of occurrence. THE ORGANIC THEORY. Many theories have been advanced by both chemists and geologists, accounting for the origin and source of petroleum and natural gas on an organic basis. Per- haps one of the first men to make this suggestion was von Buch, who in 1803 offered the suggestion that the bituminous content of the Liassic shales of Wurttemburg came from an animal and vegetable source. On the ba- sis of general conditions, it is assumed that since most of the petroleum of the world is derived from marine sediments, the organisms producing hydrocarbons were also of marine origin. A number of chemical tests have been made by chemists of ability, which go to show the possibility of this mode of origin. In 1865 Warren and Storer in distilling a fish oil showed that it could be broken up into hydrocarbon con- stituents parallel to petroleum and natural gas. Up to the present, the chemical side of the organic theory has come thru with its case clear. Geologists for the most part have favored this theory, generally because they have found the oil associated in sediments which con- tain large numbers of marine fossils. Unfortunately, however, no large degree of real or positive proof has PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS 47 ever been obtained by the geologists to show conclusively that this was the method of occurrence. In the Appalacian oil field of the Eastern United States, of which Kentucky forms the southwest portion, the oil and gas sands are shown, imbedded within large masses of shale. This is especially true in the Devonian system, but is also the case in the Mississippian and the Pennsylvanian. The question arises, if the oil found its source in the shales, how did it get into the sands or the limestone imbedded within the shale? This will be set- tled in another place. The fact remains that the geolo- gists and chemists have proven that the shales do at the present time contain large amounts of undistilled (thru natural processes) hydrocarbons, and whatever may have become of the myriad of fossiliferous tests or casts of the producing organisms really makes very little dif- ference. However, if concrete evidence is desired, at least one admirable instance of the occurrence of oil in ex- tremely fossiliferous bodies may be cited. In Southern California the oil occurs in a series of diatomaceous shales of from 1,000 to 2,500 feet in thickness. These diatomaceous shales do not now contain oil, but the in- tervening sandstones do, acting as reservoirs for the accumulated petroleums. In this field, at least, the asso- ciation of the oil with these diatomaceous formations has been so clearly interpreted and explained that it is now serving as a reliable guide in the location of new oil and gas fields. While this particular occurrence may be looked upon as a practical proof of the organic animal theory of origin, at least for this particular field, it may not be too broad a suggestion to refer the same possibility to the great oil shales of Colorado and Utah and some of the other western states. It may, however, be noted that proof as definite as that found in Lower California is still lacking for these other localities. A recent renewal of interest in the optical properties of petroleum has definitely shown that the rotation of the polarized ray which is produced by petroleum is parallel to, if not exactly the same as that of cholesterol from animal fats and phytosterol from vegetable fats. It is iow generally agreed that the optical activity of petrol- eum is due to these two substances, cholesterol and phyto- 48 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY sterol. This final and rather conclusive evidence leads, the modern observer to assume that the great majority of mineral oils and gases are derived during long periods of time, and at rather low temperatures from the decom- position of the fatty substances of plants and animals. Under such an hypothesis, the nitrogenous properties of both the plants and the animals would automatically be removed by the action of bacteria soon after the death of the organism. While it may be supposed that the terrestrial fauna and flora may have contributed some- what to the origin of petroleum and natural gas, it must, on that basis of the actual sources of these hydrocarbons, be assumed that the greatest agency of formation had been marine life, animal and vegetable. To sum up then: (a) The evidence now afforded seems to favor the animal origin of petroleum and natural gas. (b) It is undoubtedly true that the marine plants have contributed a large portion of the fatty or oily ma- terial, (c) Geologic and optical proofs and evidences are, for the most part, decidedly opposed to the inorganic origin of petroleum, but this conclusion does not presup- pose the idea that there may not be some relation be- tween the igneous bodies of some of the oil fields and the large accumulatons of petroleum and natural gas asso- ciated with them. MOVEMENT OF OIL THRU THE EOCKS, AND CONDITIONS OF ACCUMULATION. From the standpoint of a practical producer, it is somewhat immaterial as to just what has been the actual source of formation of the oil and gas hydrocarbons. All competent writers on the subject are agreed that what- ever the source may have been, the oils are not now al- ways found in the same place in the rocks in which they were originally assembled. This statement presupposes migration of both petroleum and natural gas, a very demonstrable fact. Since oil and gas have moved from their original positions, it is of importance to the prac- tical man to. understand the conditions necessary for such movement, and to be able to interpret those specific con- ditions in the geologic formations which have brought about the migration and the accumulation into oil and gas PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS 49 pools. As a general thing, we should understand that migration has of course preceded accumulation. There are three forces which are generally considered effective under most conditions in producing the migra- tion of oil and gas in underground sedimentary strata. These are: (a) gravity, (b) capillary attraction, (c) dif- ference in specific gravity of gas, oil and water. Taking DIAGRAMS ILLUSTRATING THEORETICAL POROSITY A Maximum pore space, large spheres; B Maximum pore space, small spheres; C Minimum pore space, large spheres; D Minimum pore space, small spheres. these up separately, oil and gas, in the rocks of the earth's crust are, as we might suppose, affected by the force of gravity like all other substances. But as the force of grav- ity on oil and gas in a greatly disseminated condition may! be understood to be very weak, it must be assumed that movement could only be brought about by this force act- ing separately and through a long period of time. The lithologic conditions of the containing strata, would also necessarily be somewhat special in character, that is, dry and porous. Under such conditions, the migration of oil, obeying the law of gravity, would be toward the center of the earth, and the migration of gas, because of its ex- treme lightness, if for no other reason, would be chiefly in the opposite direction. Because of the fact that dry, open strata in which petroleums were originally contained are prob- ably not widely extensive throughout the earth, it may be assumed with a considerable degree of certainty, that gravitation operating separately has not been very 50 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY important as a factor in the movement of petroleum and natural gas. The second of the forces tending to produce migration, capillary attraction, is considered to have been and to be much greater than the power of gravity. Many small experiments could be cited to substantiate DIAGRAMATIC SECTION OF A TERRACE STRUCTURE Insufficient water and low porosity are assumed. this statement. However, capillary attraction, like grav- ity, will operate only, to any marked extent, in rocks of a special lithologic character, that is, such rocks as have low degree of porosity expressed thru a large number of minute pores and interspaces; and such rocks as are' essentially dry. Since, however, capillary attraction is somewhat nullified by the presence of water, we again find that the amount of petroleums and natural gases which has been moved by this force, acting separately, is prob- ably relatively rather small. PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS 61 The last named of the principal forces influencing the migration of petroleum and natural gas, the differ- ence of specific gravity of gas, oil and water, is perhaps the greatest, most widespread and most universally im- portant factor operating in this connection. This is read- DIAGRAMS ILLUSTRATING ACTUAL POROSITY.

This last kind of porosity may be due to either solu- tion or dolomitization or both. ily understood to be the case, because it is now known thru a great volume of experimental drilling informa- tion that the dry rock of high or low porosity is the very special rather than the general case. Since most strata containing petroleum and natural gas are water-filled, in part at least, we now come to a consideration of those .principles of movement which must base themselves upon the relative specific gravities of the three sub- stances considered, gas, oil and water. In the most simple condition, that of an undeformed (essentially flat) horizon, the water would be found oc- cupying the lower part of the 1 strata. Resting directly upon the water saturated portion would be found a layer of oil, and upon this, filling completely the remaining s"pace, the stratum would be the natural gas. Under such conditions, the movement of the oil and gas would be relativelv small since it would be within the thickness 52 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY of the strata itself and were the movement not to pro- ceed any further than this, it is very probable there would be very few accumulations of oil and gas in strictly com- mercial quantities. It therefore becomes necessary to consider the interpretation of widespread specialized conditions of structure, different from the normal and original, and such structures will of course be the folds in the rock series. Along the belts of such folds, then, tne movement will at once be seen to have been greatly increased, that is, the tendency will have been for the entire water content to arrange itself in the lowest posi- tion of the structure of any of the porous formations, which would, of course, be the lowest part of the fold. In moving down to this location, the waters must neces- sarily compete with the oil and gas indigenous at each -ic + ion Legend Oil Body Gas Body j aph ic Legend F^^l Jhalo /,- x Shale: t-fi-1 Jhaly Limes+o DIAGRAMATIC SECTION OF DOME OR ANTICLINAL STRUCTURE Adequate water and high porosity are assumed.

The position of the water and the oil and gas would then be entirely dependent upon the particular quantities of oil and gas and water contained in the folded strata. With the water conditions prolific, the oil might be expected to be found relatively high on the structure, if not at the very high- est place, with the gas above it confined into a very small space and under very great pressure. Were there to be but a small amount of water in the strata, we might expect to find the oil belt lying much further down on the fold, again at the top of the water, and the interven- DIAGRAMATIC SECTION OF A SYNCLINAL STRUCTURE The upper sands are assumed to be essentially without water, the lower ones partly saturated. Equivalent degrees of porosity obtain. 54 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY ing space, relatively great perhaps, would tend to be- come entirely filled with gas under a rather high regular pressure. In case of a practical absence of water in the oil production horizon, the oil belt would be theoretically at least at the lowest point of the structure or in the syncline proper. Gas under relatively little pressure would be found at all higher points. To such a sequence of conditions there may be added the special conditions of channel deposits such as are widespread in Kentucky. These deposits filling the winding courses of old semi- marine or other currents are generally of an elongated and rather narrow configuration. In this State one of the best examples of this sort of deposit is found at the line of unconformity of the Mauch Chunk and the overlying DIAGRAMATIC SECTION IN EASTERN KENTUCKY The structure is anticlinal and symmetrical, but the location of the oil, gas, and water is different in the Mauch Chunk and Onandaga. PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS 55 Pottsville. At this stratigraphic level the irregularity is very great especially in the Eastern and Western Kentucky Coal Fields. Sand deposits are generally the ones found filling old channels in shales and limes, and when these de- posits are slightly tilted, as they almost invariably are, it will be seen that the extension of the "pay" sand thereby developed will be one that must necessarily be irregular beyond description. This character of oil and gas sand is the one most difficult for geologists and oil operators to interpret. It produces what is commonly designated as a "Stray" and when 'production is defi- nitely sought in such a horizon an extreme amount of hazard is introduced into prospecting. Many times definite channel deposits are referred to as lenses be- cause of the lack of knowledge of their true character. There is no way that a channel deposit "pay" sand can be worked out accuratey by using surface geology. In Kentucky the principal oil producing horizon to date has been the Onondaga or Corniferous Limestone, which in many places is quite porous, thereby differing from most limestones under cover. Since the "pay" horizon is a limestone, special conditions are introduced respecting accumulation that do not obtain in the typical silicious "pay" sand. The oil and gas that occur in the Onondaga Limestone may not be regarded as entirely indigenous to this formation. It is practically a certain- ty that a great deal of it comes from other and lower horizons. These are in Silurian and possibly the upper- most Ordovician. The Back shale of the Devonian which overlies the Onondaga Limestone must be ex- cluded as the indigenous source of the principal part of the oil found in the Onondaga Limestone for many rea- sons, good reasons which have already been advanced.* Minor faulting, fissuring, and jointing are a number of the factors in the Devonian and underlying limestones that undoubtedly have contributed, without surface indi- cation, to the location of the many of the most important oil pools in the Onondaga Limestone of Kentucky.

Contrary to a somewhat widespread opinion, the business of oil and gas production in its modern devel- opment is a highly complicated industry. There are many features, small apparently in themselves, which make for success or failure in every oil venture. Realiz- ing the importance of detail, all of the large producing companies in the United States are thoroughly organized for the specific purpose of carrying out this kind of iield and office work. In the smaller producing oil com- panies where leased property has to be examined or de- a n a Ti on O 6" O Location Q Dry Q J)r,//,n^ Geologic Structural Map Productive Anticline and Non-Productive Syncline. 56 COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OIL AND GAS 57 veloped, it frequently becomes the duty of one "all around field man" to check up and take care of the many details of the operation. It is now generally recognized throughout the United States, that the safest way to open up a new oil pool is to secure a favorable structure map by a reputable geolo- gist on undeveloped territory. However, in Kentucky, this is not always possible, due to the fact that large portions of the state cannot be mapped accurately in advance of the drill. In this state, therefore, the pro- cedure is generally to first acquire leases and then to work out the geologic structure if possible. In any event no property should ever be started on its developmental A PROSPECTING DRILLING. Isolated rig and tank in the Ross Creek, Estill County, field "feeling out" new production areas.

When the most favorable locations on any property or group of properties have been determined, contracts are let and drilling rigs are brought in for the purpose of prospecting. Initial wells may be producers or may be dry. When production is secured arrangement must be made at once to store or to dispose of the oil, since the proven production of any property, though it in- creases the value of the same, does not become of useful economic value, until it is placed upon the market. In Kentucky, gas wells when located close to a trunk pipe line, are considered an asset, but when not located near a trunk line, are considered a liability. Any oil well pro- ducing five or more barrels a day from a "pay" sand not over 500 feet deep, wherever located, is considered a dis-.^ Geologic Structural Map A Closed Anticline or Dome. COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OIL AND GAS 59 tinct asset. Generally speaking deeper "pay" sands re- quire corresponding increased production to be commer- cially important. In the event of striking oil or gas on any property, the first thing generally done by the operator is to buy all the available leases close to his production. If he has a geological map of the structure on which he has drilled, he will attempt to follow the oil horizon on that structure. In most cases following the oil strike, there is a wild scramble for all the available adjacent property. It is in rushes of this kind that many inexperienced would be oil operators purchase property which can never be made to produce. Such properties are quickly valuated at many times their real worth and become an important factor of exchange among lease manipulators. Eventually these undesirable properties, though rela- tively close to the new production, lead their owners into failure. While it is true that many important producing pools in Kentucky as well as in other parts of this country have been located solely by the aid of geologists, it is no discredit to the men of that profession to say that- some of the most important pools in this country have been located entirely by "wild cat" and unscientific drilling. It should however be noted as a fact of some im- portance, that at the present time, there are no large pro- ducing oil companies in the United States, engaged in the development of unproven territory, that are not op- crating upon geological advice. The single reason for this remarkable state of affairs is, that while the oil and gas geologist can not positively say that oil and gas underlies any individual property, he can nevetheless (1) keep his clients from drilling a large number of worthless dry holes, (2) save them large expense on the drilling, which they do undertake, and (3) increase their chances of ultimate success. In Kentucky there are no uniform rules in the mat- ter of lease writing. Many forms of leases have been used, and the practice common in one locality, generally does not hold for another. The leases are, however, gen- erally for a term of from five to ten years, with rentals, per acre, per year, of from ten cents to one dollar. In any undeveloped territory the first rentals, are paid in 60 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY F *b/T^/"y<''/'V/'/Toi/V "+*t-r*ce a jf rue-fur* 7>. s*. forr fours rfffr&s&rt-f PV/ST^J of ffpw/ +/mv+ +S&-/T ?6or /rr+at7j-&4 /era/.

This bonus may be from one to fifty dollars per acre, depending entirely upon the known or the estimated value of the neighbor- ing production. A common and good form of oil and gas lease is given in the Appendix of this volume. With it are attached forms, (1) for the deeding of Oil and Gas, (2) agreement for the sale of all mineral rights, and (3) the general form of a separate oil and gas as- signment of lease. MANAGEMENT OF PROPERTIES. ^The management of oil properties in Kentucky varies -according to the special conditions, found in the particular field of operation. The problems involved are: (1) The method of most practical and efficient re- COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OIL AND GAS covery of the oil and gas. (2) The certain decline from the initial (flush) production. (3) The method of market- ing the oil and gas produced. In Kentucky most of the oil is secured by the pump- ing of the well. To the pump jacks steel lines are con- nected with a central pumping house, which provides the power necessary. A few wells in this State during their early life history fall into the class which is known as "flowing wells." These wells bring their oil to the surface without any mechanical assistance. Most flowing wells later in their life history go on the pump due to the decline in the gas and water pressures, which are natural forces that force the oil to the surface. In plac- ing the well on the pump in some cases in Eastern Ken- tucky, where the standard wooden built derricks were used for drilling purposes, the derrick is allowed to PORTABLE OIL DRILLING RIG. This is a Sparta No. 30, a very improved and up-to-date tractor drilling machine. Other portable rigs, are the Parkersburg, Star, Arm- strong, Keystone, Clipper and National machines. 62 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY stand over the well, and the. well is pumped on the beam of the drilling rig. On the western rim of the Eastern Kentucky Oil Field, and in the south-central portion of Kentucky where portable rigs such as the National, Park- orsburg, Keystone, Sparta, Clipper, Armstrong and Star are used, the drilling outfit is moved away at once and the separate pump jack is installed. AMOUNT OF PEODUCTION AND DECLINE OF WELLS One of the most important problems attending the operation of any oil property is that concerned with the estimation of its commercial life. It is impossible to de- termine with any degree of accuracy the life of any in- dividual oil well. It is not impossible, however, to figure the history of a certain group of wells providing figures of known production to determine the life of the same group of wells are available. At the same time it is pos- sible to estimate the amount of production which will eventualy be taken from this group of wells, but it is not possible in any case with any amount of detailed fig- ures to determine exactly the amount of oil which may be under any property. In determining the life of a property the known production data is plotted in the form of a curve. Such curves always show minor irregularities due to the special field conditions or interrupted production. A small curve redrawn over such an irregular line is the one which is finally adopted. The top production of any field is never reached as long as the new and old production combined show an ascending curve. When the new production de- veloped in a field does not balance the decline in the old production, the total production of that field begins to show a loss. Sometimes the condition is only temporary. When it is continued indefinitely, however, then that field from the time of its highest production may be said to be on the decline. The decline in any field is due to three causes. (1) Actual reduced amount of oil available. (2) Reduction of gas pressure. (3) Flooding of the out- lying portions of the pool by salt and fresh water. COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OIL AND GAS 63 MARKETING KENTUCKY OIL AND GAS As soon as oil has been brought to the surface, it is necessary to store it in tanks if pipe line accommoda- tions are not available.

Storage tanks are generally of the two hundred and fifty barrel wooden or the five hundred barrel steel type. There are in Kentucky no real large tanks, except at the refineries at Louisville. The largest steel tank used in the Mid-Continent Field has a capacity of fifty-five thousand barrels. There are, however, many twenty thousand barrel tanks, and ten thousand barrel tanks are common. Kecently new designs of concrete tanks have been placed on the market by a large con- tracting concern. These are being used with success in a number of places in the Mid-Continent and Texas fields, due to high price of the steel tanks, which frequently cost from ten to forty thousand dollars apiece. In Kentucky the oil and gas pipe lines -nay be divided into two classes. The principal oil transportation pipe line, is that operated by Cumberland Pipe Line Company, which serves the Wayne County and Beaver Creek Field in the southern and eastern parts of the State, the Estill, Lee, Powell, Wolfe, and Morgan Fields in the central-eastern section. The oil in Allen and War- ren counties is served by the Indian Pipe Line, the Ameri- can Pipe Line and the Smith's Grove Pipe Line. The ; as production of Kentucky is served by two companies, that of the Louisville Gas & Electric Company and the Central Kentucky Natural Gas Company. Both of these lines extend from Inez in Martin County to Central Ken- tucky, the Louisville Gas and Electric Company line r-rossins: this section of the state and terminating at Louisville, Kentucky. Recently preparations have been started to connect the Beaver Creek Gas Field in Floyd Countv with the Louisville Gas & Electric Company pipe line north of Paintsville. This line will be extended by the Penedgrade Oil and Gas Company. Within gen- eral limitations it mav be said that the gns pipe line connections in Kentucky are thoroughly inadequate, there being a very large amount of unmeasured index gas scattered throughout the Eastern Kentucky Coal Fields. It is a definite, though a distinct, futurity which promises the nrobable commercialization of all the gas which Kentucky can produce. A very small portion of the natural gas now available is at present being used for caseing head gas, gasoline and carbon black production. CHAPTER V. STRATIGRAPHY AND EVALUATION OF KEN- TUCKY OIL AND GAS SANDS THE ORDOVICIAN SYSTEM THE CALCIFEEOUS GROUP In Kentucky the lowest sediments stratigraphically about which anything is definitely known, are those which have been referred in a group to the "Calciferous."* Their basal position in the column establishes them as the oldest rocks in the State, and for this reason they command more than passing attention. Unexposed in outcro'p at any point within the boundary of Kentucky, all information concerning them is based upon the ex- aminations of a number of drillings made at various points in or close to the central Blue Grass Section. Further studies, which are now being made by the author, of the log samples of the deep well drilling south of Nicholasville in Jessamine County nearly on the apex of the Lexington dome of the Cincinnati arch, point to the conclusion that here may exist under the broad title of "Calciferous" the greater part, or perhaps the complete correlatives, of the Fort Cassion and Beekmantown epochs of the Canadian. Following the completion of this deep drilling at Nicholasville, such determinations as are made will be presented in a separate paper. The position and development of the "Calciferous" sedi- ments as now known are as follows : System Series Sand Lithology in Order Thickness in Feet Lower Ordovician Canadian "Calciferous" Hard sandstone Sandy limestone 700-1000? *A11 names of rock formations accepted and commonly used as drill- ing terms will be quoted in this chapter to aid the reader in learning 1 the Kentucky oil sands. 65 Oil & Gas 3 66 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY The uppermost ' * Calcif erous ' ' strata directly under- lie the well known "Trenton" group. They are generally found to be white, fine grained, somewhat porous, sili- cious, magnesian limestones. Certain phases of the lime- stone in this column are strongly oolitic. Frequently the main calcareous body is capped by very hard, compact sandstone. The lithology as determined by comparison of a number of well logs is strikingly similar. The sandy condition of the true "Calcif erous" has caused it to be a remarkable source of salt water, and the mineral w r ater from a number of the deeper Kentucky wells has been referred to a source in this formation. The evidence presented by the unsuccessful drilling of the "Calcif erous" at Frankfort, Louisville, and Nich- olas ville is decidedly opposed to a consideration of this formation or group of formations in Central Kentucky as a probable producer of commercially important oil. In a well that was drilled into the " Calcif erous " some years ago near Elizabethtown in Hardin County some gas was secured. Again in the eastern part of the State, on White Oak Creek in Estill County, two old drillings struck showings, one oil and one gas. The very small quan- tity in all three of these wells, combined with the great depth 2,300 feet in the Estill wells has caused further prospecting of this sand to be attempted only very oc- casionally. Older sands than the " Calcif erous " have produced in the Appalachian Field. That the "Calcif er- ous" formation or formations contain a small amount of isolated oil or gas has been proven, but that it will ever be commercially important as a producer of oil or gas in Central Kentucky must be very sincerely doubted. THE TKENTON In the drilling vernacular, the term, "Trenton Sand," famous for its production of oil and gas in Ohio, is expanded in Kentucky somewhat beyond its real stratigraphic limits. Properly, the "Trenton" is a series of gray, granular, and sometimes crystalline limestones of about 270 feet in thickness, lying at the top of the middle division of the Ordovician. They have their typical exposure about the city of Lexington and have for this reason been called the Lexington Limestones. STRATIGRAPHY AND EVALUATION 67 The areal distribution of these rocks is small in the Blue Grass. Following the dip on the Cincinnati anticline they go under cover, and from an elevation of about 1,000 feet above sea level at Lexington, they drop to about 2,500 feet below the surface at Owensboro, 3,500 feet near Ironton, Ohio, and more than 4,500 feet below the surface at Wheelright in Floyd County, Kentucky.

C8 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY seen to good advantage in the Brooklyn (High) Bridge section of the Kentucky river gorge in Woodford and Mercer counties. They continue vertically at this point below drainage about 200 feet to the * ' Calcif erous ' ' which they rest upon unconformably. This unconformity is prin- cipally brought about by the introduction between the top of the " Calcif erous" and the base of the "High Bridge" series of a considerable thickness of a distinct forma- tion known as the Knox Dolomite. This new dolomitic formation has thicknesses, as shown by a number of wells, varying from 50 to 200 feet, and is composed of light and dark gray limestones and dolomites. It extends northwardly from its main body in Tennessee across the Kentucky line and probably underlies in whole or in part the counties of Simpson, Allen, "Warren, Barren, Metcalfe, Adair, Russell, Pulaski, Wayne, Cumberland, McCreary, Clinton and Monroe. In passing to the north- ward this separate dolomitic series thins very rapidly and is regarded now as entirely absent in the central portion of Kentucky. Taking it as a whole, the " Trenton" must be re- garded as one of the commercially important oil and gas producing horizons in Kentucky. It is in fact one of the very earliest horizons to have shown production in this State. Since 1829, the time the "Burkesville Well" in Cumberland County was drilled, many thousands of barrels of oil have been produced from the various "Trenton" sands. However, though much may be said in favor of the "Trenton" in Kentucky, it must always be remembered that its total production to date, even through nearly a century of exploitation, does not begin to compare in volume with that of some of the higher and comparatively recently discovered "pay sands." More- over, the "Trenton" has always been prospected with a great deal of hazard, and generally it may be said that outside of a few favored and somewhat restricted local- ities in southern Kentucky it has been found barren of either oil or gas in commercial quantities. Wayne and McCreary counties contain practically the entire productive area of the "Trenton." The so- called "Deep Sand" of Wayne County is probably within the Knox Dolomite, the lowermost of the "Trenton" STRATIGRAPHY AND EVALUATION 69 Group. Various pay sands of lesser depths than the "Deep Sands" found in Barren, Wayne, Clinton, Mc- Creary and Cumberland counties, belong in what is known as the "High Bridge" or "Lower Trenton." Coming up to shallower sands in these same counties, the principal pay has been found in what is styled the "Lower Sunnybrook." This sand has come to be regarded as the only definite oil pay in this limestone horizon, the other pays coming at very irregular depths of from 250 to 850 feet below the surface in these southern counties. Because of the great irregularity of these lower sands, little dependence can be placed in them, and it is certain that they cannot be regarded as important producers of crude oil in Kentucky. THE CINCIXNATIAN Directly above the "Trenton" Group and just be- low the base of the Upper Silurian where it is present, and the "Black Shale" where the Silurian is absent, lie a rather thick series of limestones, bastard limes, blue shales, and some thin calcareous sandstones. These were called by the older geologists the Hudson Group. South of the Kentucky line in Tennessee they are known as the Nashville Group. These rocks, which form the outer Blue Grass section of this State, find their strongest and most typical development here. In this portion of Ken- tucky they reach an aggregate thickness of about 700 feet and have been stratigraphically divided into three stages which are in ascending order, the Eden, the Maysville and the Richmond.

In this region, however, due to its prox- imity to the saddle between the Lexington and Nash- ville domes, only a portion of the full thickness of this group may be seen. In this section of the State the en- tire group thickness would be about 450 feet due to the absence of the upper members. Because of the difficulty with which the base of the Cincinnatian and the top of the Trenton is determined under cover, little is known concerning the thickness of this Upper Ordovician group at any considerable distance away from the outcrop. It is thought, however, that with a thickness of 450 feet in Cumberland and Clinton counties, that it will thicken to 550 feet under Wayne, and attain 600 or 650 feet in Whitley County. In Russell and Pulaski, 500 to 550 feet is the average. West and southwest of Cumberland county very little success has attended efforts to delimit the Cin- cinnatian, but estimates of from 600 to 700 feet have been made. Due to the rapid dip to the northwest, this group of rocks attain great depths in western Warren and OLD LAGRANGE GAS WELL. This well which is located on a farm one mile southeast of La- grange, Oldham County, and on the headwaters of Floyd's Creek, was drilled in by Lagrange capital about twenty years ago. Never a large producer, local reports state that it early became exhausted. It is located on a small anticlinal fold. Of three other old gassers one is still producing. Photo by W. R.

As an oil and gas producing horizon, the Cincin- natian has just claims to recognition. It contains the "Caney" Sand of Wolfe and Morgan counties. The "Upper Sunnybrook" of Wayne also belongs in this series. Various shallow Blue Grass wells have found small production in this group. Examples of these are the Oldham County gas wells near Lagrange, and the Bourbon County oil wells near Middleton. In Barren County and in Clinton County production was secured by some old wells in a sand 300 to 400 feet below the "Black Shale." At such a depth this sand may well be included within the Cincinnatian. The principal area of productivity of this group of rocks has been outlined in the southern central part of the State, and it is not thought likely that any pools of importance will ever be located at any great distance from this section. THE SILURIAN SYSTEM THE CLINTON FOEMATION The lowermost formation in the Silurian system as now understood in Kentucky is the "Clinton" sandy magnesian limestone. Though well and widely known among oil men by this name, it has been rechristened during the past decade, and is now properly called the Brassfield after a typical exposure in Madison County. It is a rather thin bed, varying between 10 and 20 feet, the thicker portions being on the eastern side of the Cin- cinnati arch. In the certain occurrence of the "Clinton" or Brassfield on both sides of the Cincinnati arch, this formation bears an unique distinction in the Silurian Group, for it is the only one of which this is true. Red- dish in color, the Clinton generally exhibits the well known "flax seed" iron ore, lithological characteristic, which in many drillings has assisted considerably in its identification. Geographically, the Clinton is an eastern and western Kentucky limestone. It does not occur in the central Blue Grass, having never been deposited in this section which was probably a land area during the Clinton time. 72 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY Throughout Kentucky where it has been identified definitely, the "Clinton" is found to be petroliferous, but it cannot be said that a single instance of important commercial quantities of oil or gas can be referred to it in this State. In Western Kentucky it is recognized in wells as a light blue limestone. In the eastern province it is a darker sandy limestone where it does not show the more typical reddish color and the "flax seed" char- acteristic. Following the uniformity of dip on either side of the arch, the "Clinton" or Brassfield drops off rather quickly both to east and the west, and it is only reached at those points which are somewhat removed from the rim by rather deep drilling. The position of the "Clinton" is shown in a table in a discussion of the Niagaran, since it is now considered the lowermost member of this group. THE NIAGARAS Although the term "Niagaran" has been recently expanded by stratigraphers to include the underlying "Clinton" or Brassfield, in the minds of most oil pro- ducers it goes down only to this last named limestone formation. Good reason for this separation by oil drill- ers is found in the apparent isolation from a producing standpoint of the two divisions. Recognizing the import- ance here of such considerations, the "Niagaran" and "Clinton" are presented separately, though their sec- tion is given in combination.

Directly above the "Nia- agarn" is found the "Onondaga" ("Corniferous") STRATIGRAPHY AND EVALUATION 73 limestone of the Devonian. Always an irregular group of sediments in total thickness, it may be said that drill- ing has determined its greatest thickness in Estill, Powell, Menifee, Mason, Lewis, Eowan, Fleming, Bath and Madi- son, and parts of adjoining counties. Farther east, west, and south the section thins perceptibly. Its greatest thick- ness is probably not much over 250 feet, and this will be found in only a few wells or localities. In the vicinity of Louisville, the uppermost "Niagaran" is what is known as the Louisville Limestone. It has here a thickness of about 100 feet and is underlain by the Waldron Shale of about 15 to 20 feet in thickness. Below these lie in order the Laurel limestone and the Osgood shale with a total thickness varying from 75 to 150 feet. Proceeding south from Louisville, and under cover, some of these members of the "Niagaran" drop out and others thin considerably, giving a much reduced section in the southern part of the State. It is only recently within the last three years that the importance of the " Niagaran" group of shales and limestones has come to be appreciated from an oil and gas standpoint. Development, and with it a study of the logs produced, has now placed the "Niagaran" system second perhaps only to the "Onondaga" ("Corni- fcrous") limestone as a prolific producer of high com- mercial oil. The recent development of the Estill, Powell and Lee County Fields though the production here was secured mainly from the "Onondaga" offered the suggestion that the " Niagaran" group directly un- derlying was very possibly making some considerable contribution to the accumulation. But it was found with the extension of the work in Allen and Barren, and a part of Warren counties, that the role of the "Nia- garan" became important. Here, occurring as a sandy limestone with a high degree of porosity, it holds a posi- tion of equal rank with the "Onondaga" ("Cornifer- ous") and by some producers is considered superior. Its total thickness in Allen County has not been definitely de- termined, but this as well as the aerial distribution of its productivity will be established during the present field season. 74 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY THE DEVONIAN SYSTEM THE ONONDAGA (CORNIFEEOUS) LIMESTONE As the principal oil producing horizon in Kentucky, the ' ' Onondaga " or ' l Cornif erous ' ' Limestone commands first attention among all of the productive formations in the State. Coupled with the overlying Hamilton, found only on the western flank of the Cincinnati arch, it has been definitely classed as of Middle Devonian time. East of the Cincinnati Anticline the "Onondaga" occurs alone, and here it attains a thickness varying from 25 to 45 feet. EXPOSURE OF ALLEN-BARREN "OIL SANDS."

The view is at the mouth of Glover's Creek on the Barren River, Barren County, Ky. Photo by W. R. Jillson, July 16, 1919. It rests disconformably upon the Middle Silurian or " Niagaran." The casual similarity of drilling samples of these two limestone formations, though separated by a distinct shale, has led to a great deal of confusion, especially on the part of drillers unaccustomed to the sequence, as to the exact limitations of either limestone formation under cover.

The "Onondaga" or " Cornif erous " bed the "Ir- vine" and "Bagland" sands as it is more popularly known among the drillers is a thick bedded, massive, magncsian limestone. At the outcrop it is generally char- acterized by an abundance of cherty inclusions. These produce, as a result of unequal weathering, an irregular surface giving the "Onondaga" limestone the hornstone name. A widely distributed characteristic of this forma- tion, especially under cover and at short distances from the outcrop, is its tendency to develop a considerable de- gree of minute porosity due to solution and dolomitiza- tion. Examples of this may be seen in widely separated portions of the State. The writer has remarked the oc- currence in Lewis, Estill and Allen counties and it is to be seen at many intervening points. This porous tend- ency is the chief factor of importance from an oil pros- pecting standpoint, as only in those localties where the limestone is porous to a considerable degree at least, is there any possibility of recovering oil in commercial quantities. A comparison of well records and typical exposures demonstrates that directly underlying the "Black Shale" occur three to five feet of dark brown, hard, bituminous and sometimes sandy limestone ledges, alternating with thin, dun colored, calcareous shales. This phase is the so-called "cap rock" so well known to the driller. A hornstone of a gray color and of somewhat massive char- acter follows, which is in turn underlain by a number of strata of gray colored flintless magnesian limestones. The base of the "Onondaga" is a white or light lime- stone. One of the remarkable facts in connection with the occurrence of the petroliferous strata or pockets in the "Onondaga" is that it may occur well towards the top of the formation in the hard, flinty phase, or again fairly well towards the base in the pure limestone. Fre- quently the oil "pay" is found at both horizons. OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY WHERE THE "CORNIFEROUS" PINCHES DOWN.

The result of increased drillings has been to ex- tend the known sub-surface occurrence of the "Onon- daga" limestone. In a broad way it may be said to under- lie the whole eastern coal field with the exception perhaps of the very southeastern counties where deep drilling STRATIGRAPHY AND EVALUATION 77 has not been carried out, and where information is lack- ing. Passing west and southwest in an arc, it is found under Allen, Simpson and Warren counties, and then ex- tends north in a broadening V to the Ohio River, where at Louisville it forms with the overlying Hamilton the falls of that river. Incidentally it may be recalled in pass- ing, that it is to the river bed outcrop at this point of the "Onondaga" limestone and the falls which it forms that Louisville owes its birth and present industrial position. Though so widely distributed and so productive in certain localized sections, it cannot be said that the * ' On- ondaga" is by any means a state wide producer. In eastern Kentucky in Lawrence, Magoffin, Johnson and Floyd, it has been identified at increasing depths both south and east. In every case it has been found to be quite tight and thoroughly unsatisfactory with only faint shows of oil or gas. Possibly the small number of wells as compared to the widespread acreage referred to makes any conclusions with respect to the Corniferous in this section somewhat premature. However, evidence seems to point to the fact that in this or any other part of Ken- tucky where the over burden is thick and heavy, or where the structural location of the "Onondaga" is essentially geosynclinal, this well known horizon does not have much to offer to the oil and gas prospectors. As the greatest oil producing horizon in the state, however, it will con- tinue to be of great interest, and will be ''wild catted" in many forlorn and out of the way places by hopeful pros- pectors. The net result of this faithful exploration will result without doubt in the discovery of a number of new oil and gas pools of varying importance. To date the fol- lowing, the chief pools in Kentucky, derive their produc- tion from the "Onondaga" or "Corniferous" limestone either in part or in whole.

It has as equiva- lents in part or in whole the ''Ohio Black Shale," the "Chattanooga" Shale of Tennessee, and the "Genesee" Shale of New York. In some places in Kentucky, prin- cipally from the vicinity of Morehead southward in a belt underlying the western edge of the eastern coal field, the superimposed Bedford and "Berea" formations of the lower Mississippian pinch out and drop the black or THE DEVONIAN LIMESTONE AND SHALE.

As one progresses to the south, the Sunbury thickens, and lying immediately above the "Black Shale" with no definite line of demacation, it frequently happens that drillers include the Sunbury with the "Black Shale" in their logs. While the error is widespread, it is unintentional and for the most part from a drilling or production standpoint at least, makes STRATIGRAPHY AND EVALUATION 71) no difference. In this discussion all references to the "Black Shale" are intended to be to that portion only which is Upper Devonian. Due to the above causes, how- ever, it is quite impossible to eliminate a small element of error.

SO OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY ble. It never fails to show a very oily and gassy character. A considerable number of so called oil seepages have been reported along its outcrop, but none of them are large or of commercial importance. Though always suggestive of oil and gas the * ' Black Shale ' ' in Kentucky has but a very few instances of actual occurrence of these hydro- carbons in commercial quantities. Of these exceptions to a widely established rule, there are three that deserve attention. The first and oldest of these is the Meade County gas which comes from a "Stray" sand in the "Black Shale." The second of these is that of a single gas well, in a thin "Stray" sand at a depth of about 2000 feet in the Beaver Creek section of Floyd County. The third instance is that of one or two relatively shallow wells which have penetrated the "Stray" sands in Bar- ren and Allen Counties rather recently. In all of these instances the production from these "Black Shale" "Strays" has been gassy and not oily. This fact is remarkable. It is especially remarkable when it is taken into consideration that the chief oil hori- zon of the state, the "Onondaga" limestone, underlies directly the "Black Shale," and that this same shale is frequently found to be overlain by various oil horizons of high quality, if generally of small quantity. It is a matter of record that many geologists of ability in Ken- tucky have subscribed their approval to the "Black Shale," as the indigenous source of Kentucky's principal oil production. The reasons for such subscription and accord are difficult to perceive. It may be said plainly that not only the above remarkable fact serves in the mind of the writer to condemn such unfounded conclusions, but that there are besides this many additional reasons why the ' ' Black Shale ' ' the most oily, gassy, and barren horizon in Kentucky is without commercial oil pools of importance.* In some parts of Ohio and Tennessee as well as in Kentucky small amounts of low rock pressure gas indicating plainly the cut off and confined lens char- acter of the "Stray" sand have been found and used commercially. However, as an important producer of gas the "Black Shale" is quite as much a failure as it is in *Jillson, W. R., The New Oil and Gas Pools of Allen County, Dept. of Geol. and Forestry of Kentucky, Mineral and Forest Resources, Series V, Volume I, No. II, pp. 120-143, 1919. STRATIGRAPHY AND EVALUATION 81 the production of oil in commercial quantities. What- ever rare and individual exceptions may be taken to this stand, it cannot be denied that the principal amount of the oil and gas hydrocarbons indigenous to the "Black Shale ' ' are still within it, and by virtue of their chemical condition at present and widespread dissemination, are protected from recovery by the exploring drill. What percentage of the known petroliferous content of this formation may be recovered through destructive distilla- tion methods remains for the future to disclose. A num- ber of tests run separately on this shale from samples taken at points all around the " horseshoe" of the out- crop in Kentucky show that the "Black Shale" may be expected to produce under ordinarily severe methods from 10 to 25 gallons of tarry or oily sub- stance to the ton. It has been claimed that with better and improved methods as much as 30 gallons can easily be secured. While the practicality of placing such large investments in a venture of this kind, as would be required, is seriously doubted, under present market standards, it may be pointed out that should these same conditions change this great petroliferous shale body may offer practically unlimited supplies for a future and higher priced market. THE MISSISSIPPIAN SYSTEM THE WAVERLY SERIES Outcropping close to the western border of the Eastern Coal Field from Lewis and Greenup counties southwesterly to the Tennessee line counties of Allen, Monroe and Cinton, and thence north through Taylor to Bullitt at the Ohio Eiver, are found that group of shales, limestones, and sandstones which have been given the group name of Waverly. As a rule these lower Missis- sippian sediments are clastic sandy and shaly in the northeast. They become more calcareous and less clastic toward the south, and on the swing around again to the north toward Louisville they become somewhat calcar- eous. In general the thickness of this group is greater in the north and northeast on either side of the Cincinnati arch, and less in the southern part of the State.

Many of these sands are of widespread extent, such as the "Big Injun" group. Some are localized producers only, as the "Wier" and the "Berea," the Wayne County group, or the Barren, Warren and Simpson counties Amber Oil Horizon. East and west of its outcrop the Waverly, following the normal dip, plunges rapidly under cover, where well records generally easily establish its position and its petroliferous sands. In the eastern coal field the counties of Lewis, Green- up, Carter, Boyd, Elliott, Lawrence, Johnson, Martin and Floyd are underlain either in part or in whole by the Berea and Wier sands, which are the lowest widespread producers in the Waverly group. Furthermore, these sands are to be regarded as productive on structure within this area as shown by many tests. In Wayne and adjoining counties, the " Stray," "Mt. Pisgah," "Beaver," "Otter," "Cooper" and "Slickford" sands are productive. The entire southeastern portion of the Eastern Coal Field, from Mt. Vernon in Eockcastle eastward to Inez and the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy Eiver in Martin County, is underlain by the "Big Injun" group. This group consists of the "Keener," "Big Injun" and "Squaw" sands, each named in descending order. In this group well records show that one or two of these sands are generally missing. The "Big Injun" group may be regarded as a gas producer of importance in Eastern Kentucky, but it is not an oil horizon in the commercial sense of the word though very small high gravity oil production is being secured from it from a well on Toms Creek in Johnson County. THE ST. GENEVIEVE-ST. LOUIS LIMESTONE The most persistent and easily recognized shallow to mediumly deep limestone horizon in Kentucky is that which is known throughout the literature as the St. Genevieve-St. Louis group. It is the outstanding cal- 84 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OP KENTUCKY careous feature of the Mississippian System. Taken to- gether with their occasional thin sand inclusion, these two formations are known as the "Big Lime" by most drillers. They are also less frequently known and corre- lated with the Newman limestone and the Mountain lime- stone of adjoining states.

THE GEOLOGY OF THE OIL AND GAS POOLS OF KENTUCKY MAJOR STRUCTURAL FEATURES The geology of oil and gas in the State of Kentucky- is simple and at the same time complex. It is simple in its broad stratigraphic conceptions. It is complex in its details of major and minor structure, porosity, and water pressures hydraulic and hydrostatic. Strati- graphically, oil and gas production is secured in Ken- tucky in ascending order from the middle Ordovician Limestones, up through the Silurian Limestones and in- tercalated shales, the Devonian Limestone (Corniferous), the Devonian Black Shale, the Mississippian Sandstones and Limestones, and the Lower Pennsylvanian (Potts- ville) Sandstone and Conglomerates. No oil production is secured in Kentucky lower than the Ordovician which as it comes from the wells in Cumberland County near Falls on Russell Fork, Dickenson County, Virginia.

Jillson, April 5, 1919 OIL AND GAS POOLS OF KENTUCKY 97 Burkesville is probably the lowest oil horizon strati- graphically in the whole world, nor above the Pottsville. The latter rocks, with the exception of a few isolated ridge outlayers of the Alleghany formation in the east- ernmost part of Kentucky, and the mantel of Creta- ceous and Cenozoic sediments in the Jackson Purchase region in extreme Western Kentucky, are the highest stratigraphically in the State. The combination of major and minor structure, poro- sity, and water conditions as found by the prospecting bit are innumerable and each one, it may be said, is al- most always special to the locality in which it is develop- ed. In this respect it may be added, as a correlated state- ment, that the same conditions of structure, porosity and subsurface water, are rarely found equal in any two loca- tions. The conception of oil and gas accumulation in Kentucky, is in a broad way, special to the State, since the major portion of the oil as now known in Kentucky, is secured from limestone horizons. The occurrence of oil in a limestone precludes the greater part of the gen- eral conceptions attending oil and gas accumulations where it is found, as in most instances, in typical sand- stones. In Kentucky, then, there exists the unusual terminology among drillers of "oil sand" or " pay sand" used in reference generally to either the Onondagan or Niagaran Limestones in their porous strata, although they are not sandstone strata at all. The geologic structure of Kentucky is readily understandable. The central Blue Grass portion is a large flat dome, often spoken of as the Lexington Dome, on a much larger structure known as the Cincinnati Arch or Anticline. This large structure extends from northwestern Ohio and Indiana southwestward into Ken- tucky where it reaches a high point in the vicinity of Nicholasville, thence descending along its major axis to a saddle which is found in Adair, Kussell and Casey counties, Kentucky. The major axis of the Cincinnati Anticline then rises and continues on to the southwest culminating in another dome or high section in the vicini- ty and to the south of Nashville, Tennessee. Falling off to the southeast and to the northwest the rocks of the eastern and western sections of the State go into syn- Oil & Gas 4 sin EH 0) g C^ ' *- o 1 ffll* O rt 8 &5. 6 5 256 Oil and water at 283 Oil at ... . 298 RECORDS OF DRILLED WELLS 187 LOG No. 28.

To deliver to the credit of Lessor, free of cost, into tanks or in the pipe line to which he may connect his wells, the equal one-eighth part of all oil produced and saved from the leased premises. 600 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OP KENTUCKY 2nd. To pay the Lessor Two Hundred Dollars each year, payable quarterly in advance, for the gas from each well where gas only is found, while the same is being used off the premises, and Lessor to have gas free of cost from any such well for all stoves and all inside lights in the principal dwelling house on said land during the same time by making his own connections with the wells at his own risk and expense. 3rd. To pay Lessor for gas produced from any oil well and used off the premises at the rate of Ten Dollars per year, for the time during which such gas shall be used, said payments to be made each three month in advance. 4th. If the Lessee shall operate any such well for casing-head gasoline, then the Lessor shall receive as royalty thereon one-eighth (1-8) part of the market value in the field of the casing-head gasoline so saved, in addi- tion to the royalty to which he may be entitled from the oil produced from any such well. If no well be commenced on said land on or before the day of 191 this lease shall terminate as to both parties, unless the Lessee, on or before that date, shall pay or tender to in the manner hereinafter provided, the sum of DOLLAES, which shall operate as a rental and cover the privilege of deferring the commencement of a well for months from said date. In like manner, and upon like payments or tenders, the commencement of a well may be further deferred for like period of the same number of months successively. And it is understood and agreed that the consideration first recited herein, the down payment, covers not only the privileges granted to the date when the said first rental is payable as aforesaid, but also the Lessee's option of extending that period as aforesaid, and any and all other rights conferred. All rentals or money due hereunder shall be paid by Lessee's check, mailed, postage prepaid, to at or to Bank of for the credit of on or before the date any such rental shall become pay- able; said Bank, by a power irrevocable, is hereby made the agent of Lessor to accept all rentals paid hereunder, and the same shall continue as the depository of such APPENDIX 601 rentals during the life of this lease, regardless of changes in the ownership of said land or said rental. If said lessor owns a less interest in the above de- scribed land than the entire and undivided fee simple estate therein, then the royalties and rentals herein pro- vided shall be paid the lessor only in the proportion which his interest bears to the whole and undivided fee. Lessee shall have the right to use, free of cost, gas, oil and water produced on said land for its operation thereon, except water from wells of lessor. When requested by lessor, lessee shall bury its pipe lines below plow depth in cultivated portions of land.

The raw oil product as it comes from the well. Fuel Oil. The residue from the crude oil after the gasoline has been extracted. Used as fuel by railroads, steamships, factories and heating plants. Oil Sand. This term refers to the thick layers of porous rock found at various depths below the surface or the earth. This oil sand or porous sandstone is nature's store-house for crude oil. Usually the thicker these lay- ers of sand are the greater the production and the longer the life of the oil well. Derrick-Standard. The tall framework which must be constructed before the drilling of a deep well can start. The average height of the standard derrick is seventy-five feet. The great height is necessary on account of the length of the drilling tools which must be lowered into and hoisted out of the w r ells. A STANDARD RIG NEAR ESTILL FURNACE. In the deeper drilling sections of the Estill-Lee-Powell Field drill- ing rigs of this type secure better results than the portable ons. Photo by W. R. Jillscn, 1917. 612 GLOSSARY 613 Rig. The derrick and all that goes with it; the drill- ing apparatus. Portable Rig. Movable drilling machine used for shallow and medium shallow wells five hundred to four- ten hundred feet. A PORTABLE DRILLING RIG ON BIG SINKING. In many parts of this notable Kentucky Oil Field, portable rigs like the one seen above secure quite as good results as the more costly Standard rigs. Drilling Tools. The steel bit about six feet long, the steel beam about thirty feet long and the steel jars about six feet long, which are all firmly fastened to the end of the drilling cable. The combined weight of these tools is from four thousand to eight thousand pounds, depending upon the length and diameter of the stem. Bailer. This is a steel bucket, usually about thirty feet long and from five to eight inches in diameter. It is used in bailing out water and gravel produced by the drill. The bailer has a false bottom, which i- nii-.-d when it touches the bottom of the well, allows the bailer to fill up with water, sand and gravel, and immediately closes when the bailer is lifted. This mud, water and sand are emptied into a pond at the side of the riir m- der- rick. The small particles of sand or gravel which come up in the bailer are carefully examined by the driller, who 614 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY should keep an exact record of the formation found at every foot of the well depth. Casing. Twenty-foot joints of steel pipe which is used to case out water and prevent caving of the wells in drilling. This casing is used in all sizes from sixteen inch down to four inches in diameter. The twenty-foot joints are fastened together as they are lowered into the well. Casing begins from the top of the ground and each time a string of casing goes into the wells the size of the drill bit must be reduced, to go inside of the casing. Each string of casing must start from the top of the well. From two to a half-dozen or more different sizes of cas- ings are used in each well one string inside the other. If the well is a producer, the inside string of casing is left in the well and the other casing removed. If the well is a non-producer, all of the casing is lifted out of the well and used again. Bonus Money. If a land owner has a .piece of land in t location highly approved by geologists or close to pro- ducing oil wells, he requires the lessee to pay him, in addition to one-eighth royalty, a bonus of from one dol- lar to as high as one hundred dollars or more per acre for the privilege of securing the lease. This bonus money gives the lessee one year in which to begin drilling on the land. If the drilling is not started within a specified time, the lease may be cancelled or rentals are paid at the rate of one dollar or more per acre per annum. Assignment. The legal instrument which is issued when the lease owner transfers to an individual or cor- poration all or part ownership in any lease. Production. The term used in designating the crude oil product of oil wells. When producing wells are dis- posed of, they are usually sold on the basis of the average total daily production of all the wells producing oil on the lease. In referring to a given well or lease as having such and such production reference is made to the daily production. Settled Production. The average total daily produc- tion from all the wells on any oil lease where the wells have been producing for four months to a year or more. A ten-day gauge for all the wells on the property is usually taken in order to determine the actual average settled production per day so as to arrive at a settlement GLOSSARY 615 PRODUCING WELL AND STORAGE TANK ON THE JACK WELLS LEASE, IRVINE POOL EXTENSION. Photo by McClure, Lexington. price. At this time settled production in Kentucky is selling for as much as one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars per ham-!. Flush I'rndm-tion. Flush production means the early, first production the maximum production. This usually settles down to about one-tenth in the ordinary well. To illustrate: A well tint was "shot" and brought in a five hundred barrel flush production will usuallv in most cases, settle down in a matter of three to thirty days to about fifty barrels per day "settled production." I' dine of an Oil Well. A producing oil well sells on the basis of about one thousand dollars per day, for each barrel settled production some claim fifteen hundred dollars per day. For example If one owned a well with a settled production of one thousand barrels per day, one should be able to sell the same for a| pri\imati-ly $1,000,- 000 to $1,500,000. Life of an Oil Well. Nc man can tell how long .1 given well will produce a given production. Old oil men usually say that a fair production will be kept up for ten. 16 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY THE FAMOUS ANGIE McREYNOLDS GUSHER. This well at the time it drilled into the pay produced an estimated 1,500 barrels. All of the wells on this lease were shut down to provide immediate storage for it. Photo by W. R. Jillson, July 20, 1919. years. Usually wells of a gusher character, with big pro- duction, gradually slacken off. There are many wells that have been producing for thirty and forty years or more, in the State of Kentucky. First Oil Well The first oil well in Kentucky was drilled in 1819 by Martin Beatty, of Abington, Virginia, on the South Fork of the Cumberland River in what was then Wayne, but is now McCreary County, Kentucky. It was a shallow well and was not drilled with the purpose of securing oil but salt brine. Rock oil or petroleum was then unknown. The Deepest Oil Well. According to reliable infor- mation, the deepest oil well in the world at the present time, has been drilled seven thousand three hundred and sixty-three feet in Northern West Virginia. Oil Royalty. An individual owns a piece of land, usually farm land. For a certain sum, he gives the lease for the oil and gas possibilities on this land to some oil producer. The producing company agrees to pay him a cash rental, per acre, per year, until oil is brought in, in paying quantities. When the producing company drills a well and gets oil in paying quantities, the cash rental GLOSSARY 617 for the lease ceases, but in place thereof, the owner of the land gets one-eighth of the oil produced on his land; the producing company gets seven-eighths. The pipe line companies, who operate separately and distinctly from the producing companies, take the oil from the land and settle with the owner of the land and the producing com- pany twice every month. The pipe line companies send a check for one-eighth of the oil, which is the oil royalty, to the owner of the land, and send a check for seven- eighths to the producing company who own the lease. The owner of the land has no expense of drilling or oper- ation, but gets his "royalty" as rental for his land. Demand For Oil. The demand for oil is "legiti- mate.'' More than that, it is permanent, and is likely to increase. There is consumed to-day ten times the quan- tity consumed ten years ago. Automobiles, auto trucks, railroads, airplanes, farm tractors, steamships, etc., are the consuming agencies. In another ten years the de- mand should be ten times what it is to-day. Sea carriers have only recently begun to discard coal as a fuel. Oil as fuel has every advantage. It is said that the steam- ships of the world alone could use every barrel of oil pro- duced to-day. Oil is the automotive force of to-day and tomorrow. Shooting a Well. After a well is drilled and reaches the oil sand, if this sand is found to be "tight" or com- pact, it may be loosened by a method termed "shooting." This is done in the following way. A block of tin tubing (especially prepared for nitroglycerin purposes of six- foot length) is inserted in the casing and allowed to go down until it reaches the top of the pay sand. The nitro- glycerin is poured into this special tube. The amount of nitroglycerin used depends on the depth or thickness of the oil sand. There are two methods used in exploding this nitroglycerin. One is by hand fuse, which is timed ; the other is by an electric spark, this is let off through the batteries. This explosion fractures the sand, thereby re- leasing the oil. Initial Production. The amount of oil produced l>y a well during the first twenty-four hours after it has been drilled in. Test Well. The first well to be drilled on an unde- veloped lease. 618 OIL AND GAS RESOURCES OF KENTUCKY Dry Well. A well is called "dry" when it does not produce crude oil. A dry well in Kentucky means the loss of from one thousand to fifteen thousand dollars or more invested in the expense of drilling. The lease may be a separate loss. Duster. Another term for a dry well. Gasser. A well producing gas. Salt Water Well A well that finds the "pay"" sand filled with salt water instead of oil. Wildcatting. The occupation of searching for gas or oil in undeveloped territory. Wildcatter. The pioneer in the oil and gas business, he who does the costly prospecting in unproven territory. The nerve, faith, and money of this group of men have brought into existence practically every great producing oil and gas pool in the world. Tank Farm. A tract of land sometimes only a few- acres, sometimes several hundred acres on which are erected large steel storage tanks used by the oil refineries and the big producing corporations. OIL STORAGE AND DRILLING. View of the property of the Bourbon Oil and Gas Company, on Ross Creek (J. F. Harris farm), Estill County, Ky. Photo by R. L. McClure, March, 1919. Storage Tanks. Large steel or wooden tanks which have a capacity, usually from two hundred and fifty bar- GLOSSARY 61fr rels to fifty-five thousand barrels. A ten thousand barrel tank, in Lee County, is the largest in the State of Ken- tucky. The oil from the wells on a lease is pumped into a small receiving tank. As fast as this tank is filled up the oil is gauged and run to the storage tanks. The big pipe line companies and oil producing companies run their lines direct to these tanks. As fast as they are filled the oil is gauged and emptied into the pipe lines. A run ticket certificate as to the exact number of barrels of oil taken out of each tank is issued to the lease owner by the purchasing company or the pipe line company. Pumphuj Station. A house containing an engine and pumping machinery, which is used to 'pump the wells on a lease where pumping is necessary. Pumping equip- ment is installed over each well and connected by iron rods to the central station and this one station furnishes the power which pumps all of the wells. Lease Man. The man in charge of the pump station and all tlie gauging on each lease. This man earns from seventy-five to two hundred and fifty dollars per month, depending on the number of wells and the amount of pro- duction. This is about the only operating expense con- DRILLERS QUARTERS. An important part of the equipment of the rapidly developini portions of Se Irvine Pool extension.

A drilling crew consists of four men, the driller, the engineer, helper and tool dresser. These crews work in twelve-hour shifts, called towers. Two crews are used in drilling each well, and drilling opera- tions seldom cease from the tune the well is started until it is completed. Brought In. The term used after an oil well has been completed and the oil is being actually produced. Flowing Well. An oil well that flows naturally of its own force without the aid of a pump. Pump Well. An oil well that requires the aid of pump to bring the oil to the surface. COMPLETED OIL WELL ON PUMP AND LINE. View of the Moss St. John farm in Lee County, Kentucky. This property is operated by the Big Sinking Oil Company, of Lexington, Ky. Gusher. An oil well of tremendous force and excep- tionally large production. Any large well which on being brought in flows naturally, an artesian oil well. Casing Head Gas. Wet gas, escaping from oil wells. During past few years, many plants have been erected to extract the gasoline from casing head gas. GLOSSARY 621 Deep Test. First deep well drilling on certain lease or in a certain section to prove up a deep pay stand strata. Proven Lease. A lease which has producing oil wells on it. Offset Well. If a producing well is brought in with- in a certain distance, usually between two and three hun- dred and fifty feet of an adjoining lease, the lessor, or the producing company leasing this adjoining lease, is gener- ally obliged to drill within a given time, usually sixty days. This well is called an offset well. The state oil in- spector in many states, notifies the producing company on the adjoining lease that it is necessary to drill an offset well. This law is based on the theory that a well within a certain distance will drain some of the oil from the ad- joining property. The offset law protects the property owner. It is the bane of many a lease man. In many states a party or company leasing a certain property are notified that they must drill an offset well within a cer- tain time, and if they fail to do it, they forfeit their lease OFFSET WELLS DRILLED TOO CLOSE.

The question of the origin of oil and gas has been discussed many times and from many different standpoints, but no one theory of origin has ever found universal acceptance. Some geolo- gists believe that oil and gas were part of the original earth material and others believe that they were formed from the decay of plant or animal life. Another com- mon belief is that metallic carbides come in contact with water and form hydrocarbons which, on contact with great heat and pressure, are forthwith changed into oil and gas. The organic theory has the most universal ac- ceptance of scientific men. CREST TEMPLE HILL ANTICLINE.
