Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Pioneer Oil Co. has scheduled a 1,000-ft northeastern Mississippi wildcat near the state border of Tennessee and Alabama. The Tishomingo County venture, #26-1 Tishomingo County, will be in Section 26-1s-10e. The Vincennes, Ind.-based operator’s exploratory test is targeting Silurian oil pays. Located on the Nashville Dome of the Cincinnati Arch, this part of northeastern Mississippi has been lightly explored, with fewer than 20 previous tests drilled in Tishomingo County. Nearby drilling occurred in 2003 about 6 miles to the south at #1 Leon Johnson 23-10 in Section 23-2s-10e. It was abandoned at 1,335 ft in Trenton. Pioneer is based in Lawrenceville, Ill.
