SUBJECT: Katalla Oil Field Exploratory Discussion of Present Condition and
Possible Recommended Work
A meeting was held with Standard Oil Company's office December 11, 1972 on the
above subject. Those in ,attendance were C. V. Chatterton, Alaska District
Superintendent; A. J. Warren, Assistant General Manager of the Production
Department; John Walker, who will replace Hr. Chatterton in Standard Oil Com-
pany's organization January 1, I 97jJ; Richard Woodr?w, Chugach National Forest
Supervisor; Wallace Watts, Cordova District Forest Rangèr; Don Blasko) U. S.
Bureau of Mines; Rodney A. Smith, Area Oil and Gas Supervisor and the undersigned.
The purpose of the meeting was to acquaint those present with the current con-
dition of the wells in the old abandoned Katalla Oil Field, the environmental
settings and conditions, a summary of the past summer's field inspection and
~at it revealed, what corrective work was done during this inspection and what
future pl~ns are. The meeting had been arranged through efforts of tþe Forest
Service to discuss what recommendations could be made to properly condition
Well No. 25, located on Forest Service lands.
The Highlights of the meeting were:
SOCAL made a field investigation of the abandoned Katalla field last summer
and performed some minor repair work on some of the wells that were leaking
oil and gas.
.
.
At least one well, No. 25, is on public domain--Nationa1 Forest land.
The old abandoned refine, is also on public domain land.
SOCAL plans to contact Kennicott Copper Company for the purpose of obtain,.
ingany old records of the wells drilled by Chi1kat Oil Company (and
possibly others) that may still be available.
SOCAL has and will continue to keep the Forest Service, Bureau of Mines
and Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation advised of their plans
for corrective measures to be taken in stopping the oil and gas leaks.
Consideration is being given to moving in a small sawmill and fabricating
"A" frames, etc. for the workover rig.
It appears Mr. Max Brewer, Commissioner of Department of Environmental
Conservation, has advised SOCAL to continue their evaluation of the problem
presented by the oil and gas leaking from the abandoned wells, to keep his
department advised, and to, in effect, "make haste slowly".
~
Mr. Watts of the Forest Service, Mr. Blasko of Bureau of Mines and Mr.
Livingston of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation visited the
field this past summer while SOCAL was making its investigation.
The Forest Service is of the opinion Well No. 25, located on National
Forest land, should be plugged and abandoned in such a manner as to stop
the well from leaking oil and gas. The Environmental Protection Agency
2
.
.
advised the Forest Service there are no EPA funds available for perform-
ing work for the benefit of Well No. 25.
-* The USGS will furnish copies of relevant correspondence and data on Well
No. 25 and will obtain the case file on Anchorage Oil and Gas Permit
04738, under which Well No. 25 was drilled.
The USGS advised the group that Chilkat Oil Company had a $5,000 perfor-
mance bond under the permit, and the possibility of remaining obligations
under the bond will be investigated.
The Forest Service advised SOCAL the debris remaining from previous
operations on Forest lands will not have to be removed or disposed of.
The Forest Service will keep the USGS advised of any developments of
Forest Service plans relevant to Well No. 25.

Points of Discussion on Katalla Oil Field
on 12/11/72
According to Mr. Chatterton, Standard Oil acquired the Katalla property
sometime between 1936 and 1938 from Kennicott Copper Corporation. The
prime purpose of the transaction was to obtain docking and storage facili-
ties at Cordova. The acquisition of some 500 acres, more or less, in and
near the Katalla field was incidental to the main purpose of acquiring
property in CDrdova.
At the time SOCAL acquired the property, producing operations had ceased
in the Katalla field. No mention was made of SOCAL attempting to produce
the field. However, it appears SOCAL's technical and/or professional
people have made at least a cursory study of the field's producing charac-
teristics and how the formation might be stimulated for greater productivity
than was obtained during the producing life of the field. Reports indicate
.'
the wells were produced from a fractured shale; the shale fractures are
filled or partially filled with calcite. Such a formation might be recep-
tive to acid treatments.
SOCAL indicated they are of the opinion there are 24 wells (or holes
drilled for oil) on SOCAL's property; and one well, the No. 25 well, on
adjoining public land. All are within the Chugach National Forest. SOCAL
does not have records on the 24 wells, but does plan to contact Kennicott
Copper Corporation in an attempt to obtain as much information as may be
.
.
available. The USGS does have a limited file on Well No. 25, which was
drilled on an oil and gas prospecting permit. We agreed to furnish SOGAL
a copy of the correspondence (some of which is addressed to Standard Oil
of California) to aid in th~ir further study of the field.
Reports published by the Geological Survey indicate there were more than
25 holes drilled in the area--but not necessarily more than 24 on the land
held in fee by SOGAL and Well No. 25 on adjoining property.
Geological Survey Bulletin 1094 lists 44 wells in table 3, P. 46 as being
drilled in Kata1la District prior to 1933. Also, D. J. Miller, in his
1951 report, states at least 37 wells were drilled in Kata11a area. It
is conjectured that a further search of the records may indicate the wells
over and above the 25 wells previously mentioned may have been drilled on
mining claims and may have berzn done as "assessment work".
..'
SOGAL reported that during the past summer they inspected the area, located
the 25 wells herein discussed and determined which ones were leaking oil
and/or gas. They also made some minor efforts in an attempt to stop, or
at least slow, the rate of oil leaks. They also located one or more natural
seeps. No estimate could be given in the amount of oil leaking from the
wells and natural seeps. Some other observations were that it appeared that
sump holes had been dug in the field area, which may have been constructed
for temporary (or otherwise) storage of oil. There is vegetation growing
2
. .
in the seep runoffs. There did not appear to be any adverse effect of
the seeps on local wildlife.
At various times during the period, SOCAL was doing the investigation and
minor repair work) Mr. Watts of the Forest Service and Mr. Blasko of
. the Bureau of Mines visited the area, as did Mr. Livingston of the Alaska
Department of Conservation.
SOCAL reported they had discussed the situation with Mr. Max Brewer,
Commissioner of Environm,ental Conservation Department, and Mr. Brewer
advised his department would cooperate and work with SOCAL in developing
~
a plan for corrective work. To date the amount, kind and manner of correc-
tive work to be undertaken has not been determined.
It is possible that stopping the leaks may do more harm than good in that
stopping the leaks from the wells may increase the flow from the natural
.
seeps.
However, it does appear the SOCAL will proceed with an attempt to obtain
more information on the wells, evaluate what they learned in their study
this past summer, continue their dialogue with the Forest Service, Bureau
of Mines and Alaska Department Gf Environmental Conservation, and will
keep the USGS advised.
When and if a firm plan òf action is decided, SOCAL will cooperate with
the appropriate Federal Agencies in performing corrective work on Well No. 25.

Mr. Watts informed SOCAL that the Forest Service will not require SOCAL
to remove the debris left by the operator of Katalla field from Forest
Service lands.

Memorandum
To: Files
From: W. C. Wunnicke
(;."'J,lq /Y"\
Subject: Well No. 25, Gal4m No.3 on Oil and Gas 'rospecting Permit
Anchorage 04738 - Katalla Field
Subject well was drilled to a total depth of 2,005 feet between dates of
November 1, 1930 and September 23, 1932. There is no record of production.
A bailer and 500 feet of sand line was left in the holë.
Between dates of June 15, 1931 and January 4, 1939, there is correspon-
dence between various Geological Survey personnel and Chilkat Oil Company,
Standard Oil Company of California and a bonding company concerning the
drilling and abandoning of the well. The correspondence c"lminated in
1) a letter dated November 29, 1938 from H. V. Mottat, Acting Supervisor
to F. A. Hansen, Agent for Chilkat Oil Company, approving the subsequent
report of abandonment; and 2) a letter dated January 4, 1939 from Robert
C. Patterson, Supervisor. to John A. Whaley and Company (General Agents
/
for Maryland Casualty Company) stating that the well had been plugged and
abandoned. The ~wbsequent -~~&f·-a-b&ooonmentw~S"""81'p'r-&ved~~o.v:emhe.~ 29,
~.
However, 1) on June 24, 1938, Mr. Robert C. Patterson, Supervisor, stated
in a letter to Standard Oil 60mpany of Cålifornia ~Usually in cases of
an assignment of a permit, the assignee assumes all liability for wells
drilled on the permit area'.', 2) on November IS, 1938, the Director of
.
.
the Geological Survey concurred and the Secretary approved on November
22, 1938 an assignment of Anchorage 04738 to Standard Oil effective June 27,
~. Also Union Oil and Tide Water each received one-third (1/3) interest
in the assignment; 3) note that the subsequent report of abandonment was
approved November 29, 1938- at a date when Soca1 ,Union and Tide Water -
NOT Chi1kat were record title owners.
Cð>-Ylfle/"i f/sJ~?š'
As to the actual abandonmen~ Chi1kat reported in a subsequent report of
abandonment they plugged the well in accordance with instructions issued
by the Bureau of Mines;and in another later subsequent report, Chi1kat
spelled out method of abandonment, and further stated that they filled all
the holes and pits with earth, and all dri11i9g equipment and derricks were
removed.
A recent investigation indicates the plugging either was not done, or there
was a latent failure,as the well is now leaking oil and gas. Also, a pic-
ture taken in September, 1972 shows the cellar is not filled, part of a
cable tool rig is near the well, and a considerable amount of timber and
debris is in disarray near the well.
Chilkat Oil or its parent and surviving company - Kennicot - may wish (?)
to remove the equipment, clean up the location and rep1ug and abandon the
well from a public relation standpoint; or they may plead the statute"ôf
.
.
limitations; or they may claim SOCAL et a1 was the holder of record title
at the time of reported abandonment (completed September 5, 1938) by
Chilkat Oil.

SUBJECT: Katalla Oil Field Well #25.
Conservation Divisío"n _
u. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
ADcborage, Alaska
Dear Bill:
Does your department have any written information pertaining
to the proper method of plugging a dry oil well hole?
This might seem to be an unusual request from the Forest Service
but we do have an abandoned oil well that needs plugging. When
the Katalla oil field was closed down in 1933, the oil company
abandoned the wells without taking the necessary action of
plugging them. Because of the improper abandonment of the
wells, several are now leaking oil and gas. One of the leaking
wells is located on National Forest land and the remainder are
on private land owned by Standard Oil Company of California.
The Forest is interested in taking whatever action is necessary
to properly plug the well to stop the oil and gas leakage.
Before I can make any plans and obtain funds for it, I need
basic information on the subject such as what is the U.S.G.S.
requirements on plugging a well and the various methods of
performing the task. Special consideration should be given
to the type and condition of this particular well.
Attached is a copy of the report made by Walt Schultz, Petroleum
engineer for Alaska Maintenance and Engineering Inc., to
Standard Oil Co. on the condition of well #25 which is on
National Forest land. In addition, I am enclosing a copy of
the drilling record on Well #25 which was given to us by
Don Blasko, Petroleum engineer for the U.S. Bureau of Mines.
Standard Oil Co. has done some preliminary work on cleaning up
their wells and are now in the process of working up a program
on plugging the wells properly next summer. They have expressed
desire to take care of well #25 at the same time. Before dis-
cussing it with them, I would like to obtain some background
information on the subject.

Dear Sir:
Your letter of October 24, to which you refer in
your letter to me dated November 30 that has just been received,
reached my office during an extended absence in the East from
which I have just returned. I regret the delay which has occurred
in replying.
Among my correspondence accumulated during my absence
I find a copy of a letter signed by Mr. H. V. Moffat, Acting
Supervisor of Oil Operations for the U. S. Geological Survey at
Taft, California, addressed to 1œ. F. À. Hansen, tgent for the
Chilkat Oil Company at Cordova, aCknowledging receipt of a ¡/'"
final report on the abandonment of the company's well No. 25,
located on claim No.3, Katalla field, Alaska. 1~. Moffat states:
"The report indicates that the requirements of this
office have been followed in the abandonment operations,
and therefore the well has been properly plugged and
abandoned to the satisfaction of this office."
I suggest that you obtain confirmation of the above
directly from the office of the supervisor of oil operations,
p. O. Box CC, Taft, California.
Very truly yours,
/s/ B. D. Stewart

Dear Mr. Patterson:
Referring to your letter of June 9th regarding the
well which has been drilled on this permit and which we under-
s-tand has not been properly plugged and abandoned:
Your courtesy in furnishing us with a copy of the
log of the well is appreoiated.
We assume that the statements in th.e last paragraph
of your letter were mde upon the assumption that our company
would be willing to undertake the abandonment of this well. It
is not our present intention to undertake the obligation to do
this work. as we understand that it is the obligation of Chilkat
Oil Company to oomply with the regulations in this respeot. and
that it is the praotice of your offioe to look to the principal
and surety under the drilling bonds filed in connection with oil
and gas prospeoting permits.
Yours very truly.

PERMIT - ANCHORAGE 04738
Mr. R. C. Patterson, Supervisor
United States Geological Su~,
P. O. Box CC,
Taft, California.
Dear Mr. Patterson:
Standard Oil Company of California has acquired the
above permit by assignment from Chilkat Oil CompaIIY and this
assigmnen-t is now pending before the Department of the Interior
for app rovel.
We understand that there is one well on this permit
which may not have been properly plugged and abandoned in
accordance with your requirements. We understand that Chilkat
Oil Company is attempting to secure a release from liability
under the bond f'iled in this case, but that the Department has
held that it will be necessary to properly plug and abandon the
well.
I am wondering whether you could give us some infonna-
tion with respect to the status of this well. Chilkat Oil Comp~
has advised us that their records show that the well contains
161 feet of 10 inch casing, 6'71 feet of' at inch casing and 1.712
feei;; of si inch casing and they have asked us 'Whether we would be
interested in plugging the well for the casing which we might be
able to recover.
.Any infonn.ation on your records which you could furnish to
us and which would shed some light on the status of this well would
be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours.

Mr. Robert C. Patterson,
u. S. Geological Survey,
Taft, California.
Dear Mr. Patterson:
Attached is a copy of a telegram dated April 23,
1936, from B. D. Stewart, Juneau, Alaska, requesting informa-
tion and forms to respond to request of Chilkat Oil Company
on procedure necessary for official abandonment of a well
drilled at Katalla under oil and gas permit Anchorage 04733.
Recent correspondence has been had on this case
relative to maintaining liability under the $5,000 drilling
bond filed to cover the permit well reported to have been
drilled to a total depth of 2005 feet.
Under date of April 28, 1934, I transmitted to
your office records of the office formerly maintained in
!lasIal by Mr. Stevmrt. Those records together vdth others
in your files, may contain a log of the well or other informa-
tion wÞ..ich might be pertinent in the matter. I suggest you
forvvard immediately to Wœ., Stewart the necessary forms together
with such suggestions as to details in the method of plugging
that may appear to be appropriate on the basis of the records
in your office.
Very truly yours,
\~~\\~ ß ~
Chief, Oil & Gas LeaSing~sion.

Mr. Robert C. Patterson,
Supervis,or of Oil and Gas Operations,
U. S. Geological Survey,

Taft, California.
Dear Mr. Patterson:
With further"reference to the oil well referred to in
your letter to me of June 15, 1931, which is covered by permit
Anchorage 04738:
Following receipt of your letter, I wrote to the Ghilkat
Oil 00mpany and have recently received a reply, which is dated July
20, 1931, giving details as to the well. The following paragraphs
are quoted from their letter:
ItAfter getting your O. K. to commence, we started dr,ill-
ing about the middle or November (1930). We reached a depth of
a little over one hundred 1'eet, in December. We ran into a very
bad crevice. Af'ter repeated att,empts to straighten the hole,
we decided to shut the well down until spring.
aWe have now moved the rig five feet, and this week: started
a new hole.-
Very truly yours,
r
