Drilling To Start
Near Bandon
After January 1
Invisible Halfsole
The Western World at Bandon last
week published a first page story
entitled, "New Oil Drilling Project
to Start After Jan. 1, Prepared for
Definite Test,'* and goes on to say:
What promises to become the moat
comprehensive oil drilling project yet
undertaken in this part of Oregon
will begin shortly after the first of
the year, when operations under the
direction of John A. (Jack) Kelly will
start on land in section IS, owned by
John Nielson of Bandon, in the Bill’s
Butte locality abobut three miles (air
line) southeast of Bandon, and about
five miles by road.
Kelly, a driller of many yean at
experience who came to Bandon from
his home at Long Beach, Calif., short
ly before the Pacific Petroleum Cor
poration’s second well was abandoned
here, when interviewed by a Western
World representative, stated that all
finances have been arranged and that
the project Will not depend-upon the
sale of stock or certificates.
The equipment to be used is now
operating under lease near San
Francisco, and will be released with
in a few weeks. It consists of a mod
ern rotary drill with a power plant
composed of four 250-h. p. butane gas
motors. The hole will be 14 inches in
diameter at the start and will reach
the oil sand at 1214 inches in diame
ter. The operation, with the initial
equipment, will bo prepared to go to
a depth of 7600 feet, according to
Kelly.
Drilling will be continuous through
out 24 hour's of the day. Under or
dinary conditions, it is estimated that
a depth of 4500 feet will be reached,
if necessary, in 20 days.
Kelly is by no means a novice at
the business. For ten years prior to
1981 Kelly was under contract as a
driller in Burma and India. The Bur
ma road, the lifeline of Ci^ina in the
struggle with the Japanese which is
so much in the news today, was
traveled by Kelly when elephants and
oxen were the only means of trans
portation. He transported machinery
and tools into the remote jungles of
Burma and adjacent countries with
the aid of natives, by water and ovor
hastily-constructed roads for hundreds
of miles driling wildcat wells in sec-
