Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Lampley Oil Inc. is underway at a Franklin County, Ill., wildcat. According to IHS Markit, #21-1 Blacktop has a planned depth of 4,200 ft and is in Section 21-7s-3e with a Warsaw oil objective. Earlier in 2019, Lampley Oil scheduled a Section 21 workover within 1 mile to the east-southeast at #21-2 Blacktop. The company plans to re-enter the well at 4,200 ft, and it is also targeting Warsaw. The original hole, #21-1 Illinois Minerals, was drilled in 2015. The vertical wildcat was abandoned at 3,886 ft, with some shows of oil and gas in St. Louis at 3,175-3,206 ft. Oil production in West Frankfort Consolidated Field is about 1.5 miles west of Benton, Ill.-based Lampley Oil’s drillsite. Opened in 1941, the reservoir yields crude from a range of Mississippian wells, with the deepest production coming from Salem Lime at around 3,600 ft.
