...regret to advise, however, that although we still hold the deep well record, they found oil the other day in one of the Texas fields some 90 feet deeper than our producing horizon in K.C.L. A2, which is, as you will recall, between 13,085 and 13,170 feet...
...earth's surface. Until the visible supply of oil begins seriously to dwindle, probably no one will try to drill five miles. Meanwhile, in California's San Joaquin Valley, Continental Oil Co. has bored to 15,004 ft.-nearly three miles. This well, prosaically designated as K.C.L. A2, is the deepest hole ever made in the Earth. Having brought up oil from 13,100 ft., it is also the deepest producer...
...FORTUNE pointed out last week in an article on K.C.L. A2, Continental's scientists and executives had no idea of making a record when the well was started. Encouraged by oil and gas strikes in a radius of 25 miles, they thought they would hit producing sand at 9,000 or 10,000 ft. They "spudded in" at midnight on June 21, 1937, using a 20-in. bit.
