Title: Developments in North Mid-Continent in 1963

Author(s): Edward E. Pugh, Jr. (2)

Abstract:

Drilling activity in Kansas during 1963 suffered a further decline, to continue the trend evident in 1962. 3,834 wells were drilled for oil or gas during the past year, resulting in a 7% decline from 1962. Total wells exclusive of the 707 tests drilled in the shallow stripper area of southeastern Kansas numbered 3,127. This compares with 3,210 tests in 1962.

951 exploratory tests were drilled in Kansas in 1963 and resulted in 173 oil discoveries, 40 gas discoveries, and 738 dry holes.

Available information indicates that 9 exploratory tests were drilled in Nebraska east of the 98th Meridian, 6 in Iowa, and 10 in Missouri. All were dry.
