In 1920 a new oil field was developed in Kentucky which promises to add largely to the oil production of the State. The field briefly described in this paper is in Warren county and lies just west of Bowling Green.

A gusher sand is found at or near the base of the St. Louis limestone from which initial flows may be as much as 2000 barrsls per day, but the wells soon decline. The important sand is in the Silurian rocks from 75 to 130 feet below the base of the Devonian Black Shale and is at depths of 900 to 1300 feet with a thickness of pay sand from 5 to 30 feet. Initial production may be 100 to 200 barrels per day but the average is much less.
