Marshall, Jr. Petroleum Supervisor Re: J. M. Needham et al #1 Wildcat Matanuska-Susitna Borough, Alaska Gentlemen: With reference to your letter of March 15, 1966, in which you approved the drilling of the captioned well, we would like to clarify our casing settings. We will have 13-3/8" casing set at 100' and cemented full length. You were concerned about the possibility that we might not be through all fresh water sands at this particular location. We are also planning to set 9-5/8" casing at 1,000' and will cement this full length back to the surface which we feel will protect any and all fresh water sands that. might be encountered in this area. We based our recommendations on the BP Exploration Company #1Wasilla State Well which was located in Section 33, T-17-N, R-l-W, Matanuska-Susitna Borough. This well was drilled in 1963 with pipe set at 50' and then 13-3/8" pipe was set at 1,029'. Cement~as circulated to surface on both strings of pipe. If you are not in .agreement with.our method of protecting fresh water sands would you please advise by return mail. Very truly yours, Ass't.
