North America’s deepest well: From 1972 to 1974, Lonestar Petroleum Company drilled the Bertha Rogers #1 oil well in Washita County, Oklahoma. This well was drilled to a measured depth of 31,441 feet, the deepest in North America. The core and samples changed hands over time. Lonestar was absorbed by Enserch, then by EEX Corporation, then by Lariat Petroleum Company, and finally by Newfield Petroleum Company. A dispute over warehouse fees during an office move resulted in a mix-up. The warehouse owner discarded the samples. The cost to re-collect these samples today would be between $12.3 million and $16.4 million (SOURCE: Michael Padgett, EEX Corporation, personal communication, 2002). |
