Big Gas Well Found on David Holden Farm Near Duryer
A large natural gas well was brought in on the David Holden farm five miles southwest of Duryer in Jefferson township Sullivan County after nearly five weeks of drilling. The well depth reached 872 feet with an initial capacity of 824 000 cubic feet per day, and reports indicate output has increased. The Holden 100 acre tract is leased for oil and gas with 1 400 surrounding acres under lease, and planners expect more wells. If gas supplies are sufficient, Kentucky Natural Gas may acquire the field as a reserve.
