ABSTRACT
Twenty-seven wells were completed or drilling by the end of 1947 in the Oriskany gas sand area as compared with 26 wells in 1946. There was one new discovery. Five new wells which produced gas had a combined open flow of 23,797 MCF. Gas produced amounted to 2,388,312 MCF. Figure 1 shows the Oriskany fields and drilling during 1947. Table 1 gives the records of Oriskany drilling Twenty-three wells were drilled to the Medina with a combined open flow from the 13 producers of 5,900 MCF. In the oil fields there were 1,700 completions, a decrease of 39 from 1946, and the daily average production decreased from 12,828 barrels in 1946 to 12,349 barrels in 1947. There were only a few wildcat oil wells drilled and all failed to find oil in commercial quantity.
