Abstract
This is the third annual report on data gathered by the committee on statistics of exploratory drilling. During 1947, 6,775 exploratory holes were drilled in the United States. Of these, 3,480 were new-field wildcats, 1,753 were new-pool tests (including new-pool wildcats, deeper-pool tests, and shallower pool tests), and 1,542 were outposts. Among the new-field wildcats, 394 were successful; among the new-pool tests, 495 were successful; and among the outposts, 489 were successful. The total exploratory footage drilled in 1947 was 26,393,348 feet in the 6,775 holes, or 3,896 feet per hole. These figures compare with 22,178,864 (FOOTNOTE 3) feet drilled 5,753 (FOOTNOTE 3) exploratory holes, with an average depth of 3,855 feet, in 1946.
