Abstract:

Drilling in Kansas fell to a new low of 3,260 completions in 1988, off 3% from 1987. Operations continued to focus attention on development drilling, which was 72.8% successful, up 4.5% from 1987. Exploratory wells were also up 2.6%. The average depth of a development well was 2,524 ft and that of an exploratory well was 3,957 ft.

In Missouri, the major effort in 1988 was to extend Runamuck field in Atchison County. Six Precambrian wildcats were drilled in the area. All tests failed to find more production.

In 1988 in Nebraska, exploration continued to be focused on the Paleozoic play located on the northeastern flank of the Denver-Julesburg basin. Cheyenne and Hitchcock Counties were the scene of 3 new discoveries each.

In Wisconsin, no drilling took place in 1988. However, 432,000 ac remain under lease.

Iowa and Minnesota reported no drilling activities in 1988.
