Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Carmi, Ill.-based Campbell Energy LLC has filed permits for three Fort Payne oil tests in White County, Ill. The program is designed to extend Fort Payne production into Maunie North Consolidated Field, where the operator began a drilling program in 2010. The deep-pool wildcats, #11, #12 and #13 Kempf will be in Section 19-5s-14w and all have planned depths of 4,400 ft. Most of the production in the field is from shallower pays in Pennsylvanian and several Mississippian zones. The deepest wells in the field produce oil from Ullin (Mississippian) at 3,950 ft. The field came online in 1941. The nearest Fort Payne oil producer is about 1 mile to the north-northeast in New Harmony Consolidated Field. In 2017, Campbell Energy received a permit for #5 Kempf in Section 18-5s-14w. Permitted to 4,200 ft and targeting Fort Payne, no activity has been reported at the site.
