Drilling Activity Summary

Description

IHS Markit reported that Harrisville, Ill.-based KWR Ventures LLC has scheduled three 1,550-ft exploratory tests in Perry County, Ill., that will be targeting St. Genevieve oil pay. KWR’s new locations are the company’s first planned tests in the county. The #1-20 Opps will be in Section 20-5s-1w, #1-29 Opps will be in Section 29-5s-1w and #1 Tamaroa South Pier will be in Section 21-5s-1w. A nearby wildcat was drilled in 1978, at #1 W.C. McBride in Section 21, to 4,314 ft. A few oil wells in Tamaroa South Field are about 3 miles north of KWR’s scheduled ventures, with the bulk of the field’s wells another mile to the north. Opened in 1957, the Perry County reservoir yields crude from the Cypress Sand at around 1,100 ft.
