466 PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS. 



The above well was drilled deep enough to penetrate all 

 the producing sands of the State, but shows an almost entire 

 lack of sands below the Big Lime, a condition found also at 

 the Norris well (689) at Glenville. 



Prospective Oil and Gas Areas, Dekalb District. The 



following suggestions are offered regarding further develop- 

 ment in Dekalb District: (1) The northern part of the dis- 

 trict in the region of Alfred has room for many additional gas 

 wells ; (2) The Revere Oil Pool can probably be extended east- 

 ward for about three-fourths mile; (3) Several square miles 

 of territory along Trace and Laurel Forks in the neighborhood 

 of Revere and west of Tanner offer hope of gas wells in the 

 Big Injun and Berea Sands; (4) That portion of the district 

 southeast of Tanner Creek, favored by its structural position 

 along the slope of the great Chestnut Ridge Anticline, offers 

 some show for gas. It is true that such records as are avail- 

 able show a lack of sands below the Big Lime, but it is scarce- 

 ly likely that this condition prevails throughout all this terri- 

 tory. Further drilling should preferably be undertaken first 

 on Sinking Creek, south of the wells already drilled, which 

 are known to have found the Big Injun Sand, and where the 

 risk would be the least. 



Detailed Well Records, Glenville District. 



Glenville District, situated in the eastern part of Gilmer 

 and traversed by both the Chestnut Ridge Anticline and the 

 Grassland Syncline, has produced a considerable amount of 

 oil and gas, and still offers much territory that should prove 

 to be valuable. Numerous records are available and these 

 should be of great service to the operators in planning future 

 work. The Milton Norris No. 1 (689), drilled at Glenville, the 

 record of which is published in the section for Glenville, page 

 86, made a show of gas in the Salt Sand, and shows of gas 

 and oil in the Big Lime and Big Injun Sands. No sands were 

 found below the Injun although the well was drilled 1008 feet 

 below the top of the Big Lime, far enough to reach any known 

 producing sand of the State. The J. W. Killingsworth No. 1
