Abstract:
This is the sixth annual report on data gathered by the committee on statistics of exploratory drilling.
During 1950, 10,306 exploratory holes were drilled in the United States. Of these 5,290 were new-field wildcats, 2,495 were new-pool tests (including new-pool wildcats, deeper-pool tests, and shallower-pool tests), and 2,521 were outposts. Among the new-field wildcats, 592 were successful; among the new-pool tests, 642 were successful; and among the outposts, 780 were successful.
The total exploratory footage drilled in the United States in 1950 was 40,175,173 feet in the 10,306 holes, or 3,898 feet per hole. These figures compare with 34,798,291 feet drilled in 9,058 exploratory holes, with an average depth of 3,842 feet in 1949. For the third time we are presenting data on Canada and Mexico.
