. ~~j~w-yi~+.~~8 i:'n of Florida. Through the years our persistent efforts to pr-,cure such data have resulted in a file of samples and cores from more than 1600 water wells and oil test borings.

These data have proved of inestimable value during recent years

in the accelerated search for geological and structural information bearing on the origin and accumulation of oil,

These excellent records were at

least a factor contributing to the decision of several major oil companies to locate their offices and district headquarters in Tallahassee. HIST(XY OF D9.%LCPM&NT As stated, the recording of data for the wells here listed began with th8

organization of the Survey in 1907.

However, in those earlier years

f records were not as complete as they now are, and there was less inclination on the

part of the operators to release their records.

Then, too, the Survey

organization was more limited in personnel and did not visit the operations. Consequently, the records of those early drillings leave much to be desired. After wells are abandoned it is difficult, if not impossible, to get reliable information.

This is certainly true in Florida, especially for those earlier

wells, the records of which have become so distorted with age as to make them of questionable value,

In all instances efforts have been made to

verify and re-check the names of the operators, the l?cation, the depth, and other data by reference to old newspapers, by visits to persons who may have kept records of such drillings, by interviewing drillers, surveyors, and by correspondence.

Sometimes the sum total of such efforts have been

satisfactory, yet for certain wells verified data is still lacking. 2

4

As nearly as has been established, the earliest test for oil in Florida was about 1900 or 1901, at Pensacola, Escambia County.

This well was drilled

by the Escambia Oil Company at the foot of Palafox Street to a depth of 1,320 feet.

Apparently this rig was then sold to another local company,

Pensacola Development Company, and two wells were drilled: No. 1 about 5 miles west of Pensacola in what is now New Warrington, and No. 2 on East Hill in Pensacola at the intersection of Tenth Avenue and Mallory Street. These wells attained depths of 1702 and 1,620 feet, respectively. Driller's logs on both of these have been preserved and published in Water Supply Paper 192 of the U. S. Geolagical Survey, 1904, and in the Fourteenth and Seventeenth Annual Reports of the Florida Geological Survey. Upon completion of these wells, interest in this west Florida area s-eemed to diminish temporar&lp and the next wells of record were drilled in Sumter County, central pen&&&m Florida, in 1903. Two Wells were put down, the fimt apparently being abandon@ at about 1200 feet because of drilling difficulties, and the second completed at a depth of 2002 feet, It is not known why these particular areas ip western and cen%ral peninsular Florida were selected, unless it was on the basis of general surfaoe gealogy.

Sumter County

lies within the region referred to in literature a$

the 1tOcal.a Uplift", being that part of Florida where the upper Eocene limestones are exposed at the surface, or enly thinly mantled by more recent sediments.

It has long been recognized as a regionally geologic high area,

and could therefore have attracted the attention of the early explorers fop oil in the same mcanner as it has intrigued those in more recent years. From these early beginnings the interest in the possibility of oil or gas in Florida has waxed and waned through the pars.

Fr3rn rather close

familiarity with the oil prospecting developments in Fl-?rida for many years

3

A.

it is evident that some of this interest was prompted by enthusiastic, overzealous, professional promoters whose first concern was personal gain. By far the larger number, however, made serious attempts to find oil, as is evidenced by the several dee.p wells drilled by operators of highest integrity whose motives were never questioned.

Even the first wells of record

in Escambia County were of this character and for that. early day the depths

of these were quite impressive, ranging from 1320 feet to 1702 feet. In 1939 a well was completed near Pinecrest, Monroe County, at a depth of 10,006 feet,

This was the first well in Florida to attain that depth and,

although it did not produce oil, it was drilled under the constant supervision

of a trained geologist who kept detailed data on the formations penetrated and gave personal attention to the collection of cuttings and c-res, as well as other pertinent data.

The complete information yielded by this deep test,

terminating as it did in sedimentary formations at more than 10,000 feet,

drew the attention of major oil companies to the potential possibilities of Florida.

The year 1939 is, therefore, an appropriate dividing point between

early prospecting in Florida and the present period of prospecting by major companies.

During this first period from about 1900 to and including 1939,

there were at least 87 tests drilled.

Many of these were very shallow and,

except for having been drilled by operators who so designated the well, could hardly be labelled as %il tests".

But there were many wells drilled

during this first period that are acknowledged to be as completely tested,

adquately sampled, and recorded as any in the State. As an index, however, of the increased interest and activity in oil prospecting, the period from 1940 to 1948 records the completion of 104 wells, with six wells in process of being drilled on January 1, 1948.

It was on

September 26, 1943, that the Humble Oil and Refining Company toompleted their

4

Gulf Coast Realties Corporation No, 1 well at a total depth of 11,626 feet, and brought in the first oil well in Florida. 97

The initial production was

barrels of oil with 425 barrels of salt water, the oil having a gravity of

20.8" A.P.I.

This well continued its production until May 14, 1946, when on

account of decrease in production it was plugged and converted into a salt water disposal well. This first well did not flow, as was also the case with the second producing well.

However, this Sunniland Field on January 1, 1948 had a total

of five producing wells - one pumping and four flowing, Well No. 4 -

On January 3, 1948, Gulf Coast Realties well No. 10 was completed at a depth of 11,574 feet, with production of 175 barrels of oil daily.

This

now gives Florida a total of six producing wells in its one field, Sunniland, in Collier County. The total production of oil in Florida from its discovery, September 26, 1943, through December 31, 1947, was 3.59,740 barrels.

REGULATOBY MEASURES An act to regulate and control the drilling and development of oil and gas in Florida was introduced and passed by the Legislature of 1945, and received the approval of the Governor on June 5, 1945. (No. 305) Laws cf Florida 1945.

This is Chapter 22819

This law was patterned after a model pre-

pared under the supervision of the interstate Oil Compact Commission with such chances as r~rfl'e deemed advis~b1.a alter pllb1ic bearinq? were held, cork

5

ducted by the Attorney General and the committee from the Florida Bar Association.

It has had the careful scrutiny of members of the legal department of

at least two of the major oil companies,

It is considered as good a conser-

vation act as could be devised at the time,

So far, it has proved adequate

for development in Florida and appears to meet the satisfaction of all concerned.

Copies of this law, together with copies of the rules and regu-

lations that have been ado.pted by the State Board of Conservation as well as copies of forms 1 to 12 applicable in the rules, can be obtained upon request addressed to Honorable R. A, Gray, Secretary of State and Secretary Oil Division, State Board of Conservation, Tallahassee, or to Dr. Herman Gunter, State Geologist and Assistant Secretary Oil Division, State Board of Conservation, Tallahassee.

Such requests will receive prompt attention.

In 1947, the Legislature passed an act levying a tax on oil and gas produced in Florida.

This is Chapter 23883 (No. 269), Laws of Florida 1947,

and copies may be obtained by addressing requests to the Secretary of State Tallahassee, Florida.

This act became a law without the Governor's approval

and was filed in the Secretary of State's office June 3, 1947. SUMMARY From the more or less complete information at hand it is known that up to January 1, 1948, approximately 191 wells have been drilledfbr oil or gas.

There were on January 1, 1948, six wells incompleted and drilling, and

in the tabulated data there is included some few established locations that may be drilled in the future.

Completions have likewise been noted on

some of the wells that were drilling on January 1, 1948, since this report was not completely mimeographed until the latter part of the month. .

The wells drilled prior to 1939 were largely on general geologic evidence or on tlhunchesM such as the topographic and physiographic

6

resemblance to certain oil fields elsewhere, or because of the use of some particular lloil finding" machine that in the hands of the operator would predict the occurrence of petroleum.

Care should be used in distinguishing

these pseudo-scientific methods from the bona fide geophysical exploration methods of recent years.

It should be borne in mind that the accepted and

credited geophysical methods do not reveal or indicate the presence of oil or gas, but provide another valuable tool in the hands of trained technicians in determining subsurface structural conditions.

From 1940 to the present the exploration for oil and gas has been intensively carried on by the major oil companies,

The methods of exploration

have included not only surface geology, but also the study of samples from wells throughout the State, detailed field work within defined areas including geophysical exploration and intensive structural drilling. In the drilling of these structural tests the operations are carried.to some well known zone often necessitating tests of 1500 to 2000 and more feet deep. While statistics are not available, it is judged that several hundred such tests have been put down by the major oil companies working in different areas.

In addition,

much geophysical prospecting has been accomplished and some is in progress, Different methods have been tried, some apparently with more satisfactory results than others,

The deep drilling already accomplished has yielded

information that is, however, more dependably interpretable than the geophysical exploration results.

With it all, however, Florida's geological

history is gradually being fathomed, although there are many perplexing

-

problems still unsolved. This highly creditable and excellent work by the various companies and individuals has resulted in a store of information about geological conditions in Florida that necessitates much study and time to assimilate.

7

Some

of the

exploratory work resulted in conclusions immediately favorable as, for instance, the first well drilled in the Sunniland Field proving pr,>duction.

In other

areas no production has been found, but the geologic and stratigraphic data have been very helpful and revealing.

That production so far has not been

found outside the Sunniland Field apparently has not discouraged the major oil companies, for prospecting continues generally throughout the State. The Sunniland Field may receive more intensive developments so that the possibilities in that southern Florida region can be more completely determined. Florida is a large state with an area1 extent of about 58,000 square miles.

The sum total of 194 wells is an uninprcssive number for so large an

area, and it is therefore no wonder that results have not been more favorable. That production will not follow continued exploratory efforts can not be forecast and, from the activity currently going on, it must be concluded that those carrying on such explorations have a basis for them - a wild cat 'territory with ample thickness of sedimentary formations that could yield oil if favorable traps can be found. the answers,

Testing in progress may give

some of

Problems such as source beds, their position and extent, the

condition of permeability and involved lithologic variations, and the usual questions of structure and stratigraphy always present in new regions, all have presented themselves in Florida.

Ths solution to these problems

apparently lies in data to be revealed through more drilling.

FXPLA??ATION 3F TAN&S The tabulation which follows is arranged alphabetically according to counties.

Under each county the individual operations have been arranged

chronologically as nearly as possible. 8

Data for each well includes: 1) the

company or owner; 2) f:a,rm or well name; 3) location; 4) elevation; 5) year completed; 6) depth; 7) remarks.

And also there is included the well number

assigned by the Florida Geologiccal Survey. design&ions: W-975 nnd wgi-3%.

In this there will be found two

The first, W-S75, means that the Survey

has scamples &and drilling data; the second, Wgi-3R6, means that we have no sampies but may have a driller's log, analysis !>f water, or other information. Thz records on file in the Survey offices are open for ready reference and available to the public.

In some instances current data is held for a

definite period in the confidential file, if the operator makes such request and the State Board of Conservation approves.

Should anyone wish to study

the open file of cuttings and cores, the Survey will be glad to m&e them available. ACKNOWLEDGI.NENTS We wish to express appreciation and hearty thanks to all drilling contractors, representatives of oil companies, individual operators, and others, who have so willingly and sclendidly cooperated in the Survey's effort to accumulate these data.

Alsc, to thOBe who have

DainStakingly

delved ink whatever original record they might have in order to help us

complete fragmentary informaticn and to verify inaccurate or uncertain details, we extend thanks and acknowledge with appreciation their heloful service.

!\Te have a very creditable file cf records which is continuously

adding to our knowledge ?f the geology, structure and stratigraphy of Florida.
