EXPLORATION FOR OIL AND GAS IN FLORIDA

By Herman Gunter, Director

Florida Geological Survey

Exploratory drilling activities in Florida during 1949 were comparable to

those in 1948. One well begun in 1947 was completed late in 1949, five wells

begun late in 1948 were completed early in 1949, and all were abandoned as dry

holes. During 1949, twenty-four permits to drill were requested and approved.

Of these wells 15 were dry and abandoned, three were actively drilling on

December 31, 1949, two were locations, and four were developed as producers.

All of the producers are in the Sunniland Field, Collier County, Florida's

only oil field. The total activity, therefore, for the year is 25 wells com-

pleted, three drilling and two locations.

The four wells added to the list of Florida's producers increased the total

number of oil wells discovered in the State to thirteen. The discovery well,

namely, Humble Oil and Refining Company, Gulf Coast Realties Corporation No. 1,

which was brought in September 26, 1943, produced to May 10, 1946, or for a

period of two years and almost eight months. This well had an initial pro-

duction of 97 barrels of oil per day, and produced approximately 20,550 barrels

of asphaltic base, 20.80 API gravity oil before being converted into a salt

water disposal well. It is the only producing well that has so far been aban-

doned in the Sunniland Field. Some wells initially flowing have, however, been

placed on the pump. The Sunniland Field had a total of twelve producing wells

on December 31, 1949, as follows:

Farm:Gulf Coast Realties Corporation

No. 4 11,597 feet, IP 257 barrels. Pumping
No. 5 11,578 feet, IP 518 barrels. Pumping
No. 6 11,578 feet, IP 225 barrels. Flowing
No. 8 11,576 feet, IP 527 barrels. Pumping
No. 10 11,574 feet, IP 175 barrels. Pumping
No. 11 11,573 feet, IP 120 barrels. Pumping

Oil activities during the latter part of 1949 have shown a decided slack-

ening. In fact, a number of the major companies have moved their offices from

Florida to areas in other states where prospecting and development is more

active. Other companies have reduced their personnel to a minimum. Without

doubt this reduction in Florida activities is caused by the lack of encouraging

signs of the presence of oil tuch as oil and gas shows, in most of the oil

prospects.

The year 1949 has seen much progress in our knowledge of the formations

underlying Florida. Much of the drilling in the State has been deep, giving

satisfactory data as to the thickness and character of the sediments penetrated.

Former conceptions have been modified or changed; in some areas the sedimentary

column is now known to be of greater thickness, while in other regions it is of

lesser thickness than formerly believed. Detailed studies will be made of all

samples from the many wells throughout the State, and the results will be pub-

lished from time to time as rapidly as possible.

ADDITION TO THE RULES AND REGULATIONS

Florida has a very satisfactory law covering the prospecting for, and the

development and conservation of, oil and gas, but it has been found desirable to
the
provide in/Rules and Regulations provisions through which wells may be abandoned

temporarily and to define an abandoned well. Consequently, the Florida State

Board of Conservation adopted, November 22, 1949, rules covering such con-

ditions as follows:

Pursuant to the power and authority delegated to the State Board
of Conservation, State of Florida, by an act approved June 5, 1945,
(Chapter 22819, Laws of 1945), after notice and public hearing, duly
advertised, and held at the Capitol in the City of Tallahassee, Florida,
on the 22nd day of November, 1949, the State Board of Conservation
amended the general rules and regulations governing the conservation
of oil and gas in Florida.

The rules and regulations of this Board governing oil and gas in
Florida are amended by the addition of the following:

The State Board of Conservation of the State of Florida

may, in its discretion, grant permits authorizing the
temporary discontinuance of the drilling of any existing well
drilling in search of oil or gas; but only upon the following
conditions;

1. Such discontinuance shall be for a period within the
term of the lease under which the well has been
drilled; such a period not to exceed one year.

2. Such discontinuance of drilling shall be accom-
panied by the observance of each and every of the
precautions and formalities, such as capping,
restoration of terrain, etc., as is required under
existing or any future regulations at the final and
permanent abandonment of such well.

3. Upon the expiration of the period of temporary dis-
continuance of drilling a permit to renew drilling
may be obtained within the period of the lease, but
upon, and only upon the performance of each and every
of the matters and things required by these or any
future regulations for the obtaining of a permit to
deepen such well.

Any well, for which a temporary discontinuance permit has
not been granted, and on which drilling has ceased for a period
of six months, shall be deemed to be an abandoned well and the
same shall be plugged, the terrain restored, all forms filed
and each and every of the precautions and formalities shall be
taken to the extent required under existing or any future regu-
lations at the final and permanent abandonment of such well.

Remarks

On January 1, 1949, there were five wells drilling, and completion data

for these are incorporated in tables for the 1949 wells. In addition, there

are incorporated data for four wells, namely, Carl M. Brukenfeld Syndicate,

Levy-Lennon Syndicate Inc., No. 1, Levy County; Humble Oil & Refining Company,

Gulf Coast Realties Corp. No. 9; Gulf Coast Realties Corp. "B" 1, both in

Collier County; and the Gulf Oil Corporation, G. H. Hodges No. 1, in Taylor

County, which data were not available at the time Information Circular No. 1 -

Revised was published, January 1949.

Records in the Survey offices are open for reference to any who may wish

to study the open file of cuttings, cores or logs, and related data. When an

operator so requests, the data are held in the confidential file for a stated

period, otherwise our entire well library is available for reference.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Survey wishes to express its appreciation to all representatives

of the oil companies operating in Florida, drilling contractors, independent

operators, individuals and others who have so willingly cooperated in supplying

information and data. Without this splendid cooperation the records would

have been less complete and our efforts far more arduous and ineffective.
