Drilling Activity Summary

Description

Campbell Energy LLC plans to drill two 5,700-ft Backbone (Lower Devonian) exploratory tests in Saline County, Ill. The Carmi, Ill.-based company’s #24-1 Tison Heirs will be in Section 24-7s-6e. Immediately to the east will be #1 Longbranch in Section 24. Nearby production is within 2 miles to the south in Raleigh Field, which yields crude from pays as deep as Salem. According to IHS Markit, KWR Ventures permitted two St. Louis ventures in 2018 about 1 mile to the southwest—#1-26 Massey and #1-26 Rhine Anderson are in Section 26-7s-6e and each was permitted to 3,350 ft.
