Gas well drilling begun for Medicine's municipal project
The Medicine municipal utility started the first of four wells this summer in the east end of the northeast field. drilling reached 1 195 feet and was cemented atop the gas sand. 250 feet of 10 percent inch surface pipe and seven inch casing were installed, with three days for cement to set. 45 feet of drilling remain to reach the gas sand, to be completed Friday when pressure and volume are known. Electro logging will then determine gas sand thickness. Superintendent Bob Beitz called the operation smooth and within a $20 000 budget for all four drilling units.
