One of the first oil wells in Kentucky, The Great American Oil Well, hit at about 750 feet. It blew out all the rigging and gear and "gushed" for several days I believe.

In those days wells were drilled looking for brine. It was part of the salt industry. Then some guy figured out how to distill kerosene, the whale industry went bust, and the oil industry started making millionaires.

I was a little worried about drilling for oil at a mere 1500 feet, but it turns out there are numerous shallow oil fields all over the USA. Remember our Cenozoic sandstone is as much as 65 million years old, the subduction zone for the Caribbean plate is far to the south east over by Trinidad and Tabago, where numerous volcanoes mark the edge of that plate. We're in a pretty good spot, the geophysics look good, and non-commercial quantities of hydrocarbons were observed in the stratigraphy near shore just off the Monkey River delta.

We have real shot here. I like the virgin terrain. When we hit oil the world will hear about it, and many attitudes in Belize may change towards our industry. I am praying for a gusher, The Great Belizean Oil Well.
