ABSTRACT
During 1947, drilling activity along the Atlantic Coastal Plain declined. The most significant well was that drilled by Standard Oil Company of New Jersey in Pamlico Sound, Dare County, North Carolina. This was abandoned at a depth of 6,410 feet without any indication of oil or gas. Several dry wells were drilled by Carolina Petroleum Company in Pamlico and Craven counties, North Carolina. No drilling was reported from the Coastal Plain of New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, or Virginia. One well was drilled in the Piedmont region of New Jersey, and one in extreme western Maryland. Activity continued in the Rose Hill field in Lee County in southwestern Virginia.
