D8 ; ANNUAL REPORT 
Troy Township.—Oil territory in this township is small, and is con- 
fined principally to the southeast quarter, where it occupies parts of sec- 
tions 23, 24, 25, 26 and 36. The area of this is about two square miles. 
It is an extension of the pool lying in the vicinity of Woodville, Sandusky 
county. 
In the northwest quarter of section 12 a very small pool exists. It 
consisted in 1902 of five wells running in a northwest and southeast line. 
Another well or two has been drilled in this vicinity with a small degree 
of success. 3 
Territory in this township began to be developed in 1894-5. The 
small pool in section 12, referred to above, was opened in 1895; the initial 
well being reported to have averaged 250 barrels of oil per day during the 
first month. Its decrease, however, was rapid, and the well was abandoned 
in 1902. Many other holes were drilled in that part of the township with 
the hope of extending the pool. One well in this vicinity yielded some gas 
from the Clinton limestone. Practically no drilling was done in this town- 
ship in 1902. 
Freedom Township. —The southeastern portion of this is oil produc- 
ing; the territory includes the whole or the part of sections 8, 9, 15, 16, 
17, BO, Bil, 22, 2a, Qi, QE, BO, 2B, Bh, ZO) B2y BS BAy BE amd HO. IBesicies 
this there is a very small area in the extreme northeast corner of the 
township. All territory in this township is simply an extension from that 
of Sandusky county. 
Montgomery Township.—This township contains the largest area of 
producing territory in Wood county, all but one of its 36 sections yielding 
some oil. The territory, however, is quite spotted, a number of barren 
areas being enclosed by producing territory. Eastward the pool extends 
into Sandusky county, and westward into Portage township where it is 
connected by a narrow arm with the territory lying in the western portion 
of the county now under consideration. 
Few wells were to be found in the township in 1890, but active work 
began about that time. Little testing was being done in 1902, and it seems 
that not much can be expected from the township in the future. The 
gravity of the oil is 42 degrees B., about two degrees lighter than most oil 
secured in Wood and adjacent counties. 
Perry Township.—This township contains small areas of oil territory 
in two opposite corners, the northeast and the southwest. The former in- 
cludes parts of sections I, 2, 3, 4 and 12, and extends into Montgomery 
township on the north and into Sandusky county on the east. The second 
area referred to above extends as a narrow strip diagonally across sec- 
tion 32, and includes in addition a few acres in 29, 30, 31 and 33. A few 
small wells have been secured in section 34 also, but none were being oper- 
ated in July, 1902.
