Well Logs, continued

Listed in the following pages are the logs of 70 wells and-test holes in Hamilton and Kearny counties, including 27 test holes drilled by the State and Federal Geological Surveys (1-27), 32 water wells (28-59), and 11 oil- and gas-test wells (60-70). The locations of the test holes are shown in figure 2 and most of the wells are shown on plate 2. About two-thirds of the logs were made by well drillers, and many of the drillers' rock names have been changed to conform with geologic terminology. "Gyp" or "gyp rock" has been interpreted to mean caliche, and "soapstone" has been changed to shale or clay. The term "sandrock" is used by drillers to describe a rock, that is so well consolidated that no casing is needed to prevent caving. In the Dakota and Cheyenne formations this has been interpreted to mean sandstone and in the Tertiary and Quaternary deposits it implies a consolidated sand and gravel deposit (often called mortar bed). Much of the Ogallala formation has been logged by well drillers as clay, but in those wells from which cuttings were available for study it was found that much of the so-called clay was silt.
