Goosepond Oil Well Flood Drives Drillers to Higher Ground
Drillers at the Goosepond oil well moved to higher ground after a night of heavy rain caused surface floods. The derrick area filled with water, boilers extinguished, and drilling halted for days as crews awaited water recession. A strong gas flow in cinnamon shale near 200 feet suggests oil nearby, with Niagara structure expected within 20 to 25 feet. Mr. Morris remains hopeful that oil lies ahead and plans to resume once flooding subsides.
