ASSOCIATED OIL
SUSPENDS WORK:
ABANDONS WELL
Work Stopped by One Com
pany m Cold Bay Field—
Future Course Unknown.
That the Associated Oil company
has discontinued operations in the
Cold Bay field, abandoning a 900 foot j
hole was disclosed here last week
by passengers on steamers passing j
through here southbound from Sew-1
ard. No announcement has been ]
made by the company relative to this J
action and it is not known whether!
It will start up again this season.
A physician and other employees
of the company passed through here |
last week enroute from Kanatak to,
Seattle. These men said that the
Associated Oil had closed down and j
its crew was leaving the field. The j
same information was also brought j
to Seward early last week and a j
letter received late last week by W. j
G. Johnson contained similar infor ;
mat ion
Seward advices said that "suspen-l
slon of work by the Associated Oil f
is not taken to mean the company;
will pull Its rtg out of the field, hut
that drilling will resume in the near
future.” In confirmation of this view
It is recalled that geologists for the
company, whose recommendations led
to its entry into the field, reported
it was probable that oil would be
encountered at a depth betwee.n 2,
200 and 2,500 feet, or 1,300 to 1.600
feet deeper than the level reached
by the company’s drill. It is believed
by local people with holdings In the |
field that the hard pan formation en
countered proved too heavy for the
type of drill used and that the com
pany plans to use a different type
of drill. None of them, however, had
any definite Information.
The news of the suspension of work
came as a surprise as It was reported
here several days ago that the com
pany was Bending two new drills In j
to start holes on other claims held'
under assignment by It.
The Standard Oil Is still drilling. |
It had reached a depth of over 400 j
feet and was still In hard rock ten1
days ago.
