Title: Developments in Kentucky in 1947

Author(s): E. Boyne Wood (2)

Abstract:

The continuation in the search for oil and gas in the Middle and Lower Ordovician was of particular interest in 1947.

Most of the new oil and gas discoveries were located in western Kentucky in producing zones ranging in age from Pennsylvanian to Devonian.

Eastern Kentucky development has taken place in formations from Pennsylvanian to Lower Ordovician and there were several interesting discoveries. These include successful wells in the St. Peter sandstone and the Knox dolomite.

The development of the Seventy-Six pool in the Ordovician of Clinton County has accounted for most of the activity in the south-central part of the state.

Estimated oil production in 1947 was in excess of 9,500,000 barrels.
