Title: Developments in North Mid-Continent in 1960

Author(s): Walter H. Martz, Jr. (2)

Abstract:

During 1960, there were 4,187 wells drilled for oil or gas in Kansas. Of this number, 54.6% were successful. Production in Kansas for 1960 amounted to 113,344,548 bbls. of oil, 4,862,277 bbls. of natural gasoline and LPG, and 632,609,850 MCF of natural gas.

Exploratory tests in Kansas during 1960 numbered 1,104, including 97 oil discoveries, 21 gas discoveries, 75 extensions to oil pools, 22 extensions to gas pools, and 889 dry holes. New-field, new-pool, and outpost discoveries numbered 107 during 1960; this figure includes 7 discoveries which resulted from old holes worked over. There were 17 deeper-pool discoveries and 1 shallower-pool discovery during 1960.

Available information indicates that 22 exploratory tests were drilled during 1960 in Iowa, Missouri, and that part of Nebraska east of the 98th Meridian. None of these 22 tests was successful.
