Start New Search
for Natural Gas
. in Benton Fields
Spud in new well on'south
side of the Rattlesnake
hill; need bigger supply
for upper valley
With the firm belief that the
activity will bring to the surface
new gas and future oil supplies for
Benton and Yakima counties, Paul
John Hunt and associates of Seat
tle, have announced the drilling of
a new shallow well eleven miles
northeast of Prosser on the south-4
west slope of Rattlesnake Ridge. 1
According to Hunt, who is nowl
the sole developer of Rattlesnake l
Hills oil and gas leases, operating in j
accordance with State law, there is
an urgent need for more gas to?
feed the present pipe line system.
About 1000 consumers now being
served by the pipe line were incon
venienced during the cold months,
the last several winters by an mad:-
equate supply of gas, and it is the
intention of the drilling organizers
to put an end to this lack of fuel
and do further deep drilling for oil
which is believed to be in the deep
er deposits.
“We spudded in the new well on
July 20,” said Hunt, f‘in what we be
lieve is the best location for this
purpose. We :were very fortunate to
secure the service of C. P. Holdredge,
consulting geologist of Portland,
Oregon to make the location for us.
He has acted as petroleum engineer
for major oil companies in the Pa
cific Coast states and South Amer
ica. He is well known to our many
leaseholgers, most of whom reside
in Benton, Yakima and adjoining
counties, for his former geological
survey of the Rattlesnake Hills and
Mabton area, and we all have great
confidence in his ability?
The, new well can be reached by
road from Prosser, crossing the
1 Yakima River to Wihitstran and fol
llowing the signs north. In his re
mport, after several days study of the
jformations of the hills and after
nprojectinig contours of the land as
far as possible, Holdredge asserts
that the location made is in his
opinion, the 'best for quick access
to a new commercial supply of
Shallow natural gas.
“In fact.” continues Hunt, “we
feel that there is a good chance of
reaching this supply within six hun
dred feet, a depth possible to at
tain, with reasonably good luck, in
three to five months. We hope all
those interested in seeing a gas and
oil well in the process of drilling
will drive out to the location. Drill
ers in charge of the operation will
give all visitors any information
they wish." ,
