PLAN TO ATTEND - MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS TODAY- South Kentucky Purchasing Company and parent company Somerset Refinery will host the 2001 TOGA Christmas Party, Friday, November 30^th in Somerset, Kentucky.  They have also reserved and paid for 40 rooms at the Somerset Hampton Inn for Friday night, so TOGA members and guests can stay over to tour the Somerset Refinery Saturday morning.
The spill seminar is free.  The dinner dance is $50 per couple. The Hampton Inn is free and so is the plant tour on Saturday morning. Reservations are a must.  Both members and guests are welcome. Call Juli at the TOGA office (615) 263-1291 or Treasurer Anne Byrd at (423) 569-5150 to make a reservation.  Please send payment for dinner-dance to the TOGA office.

TRAVEL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SEMINAR, INN, PARTY- After you have made your reservations, you’ll need to know how to get there.  Here are the directions:
The Hampton Inn is on Highway 27 between the Somerset Mall and the new Wal-Mart Superstore.  If you are coming directly to the Eagle’s Nest Country Club-take Highway 27 north to the East 80 Bypass.  Turn right (east) and go to the fourth stoplight (not counting the one at 27 and 80).  Turn left on Highway 39 and go about 5 miles. You will see a sign for the Eagle’s Nest Country Club.  It will be a right turn into the club property.  Soon you will come to a stop sign.   Stop then turn left and continue on to the club.

THE BIG WELLS JUST KEEP COMING - MILLER, NEW RIVER, CHAMP HIT- Tengasco started us off hitting big wells in Hancock County, now it is spreading across the state.  First, New River Energy hit a big oil and gas well at about 4,200 feet near Petros in Morgan County.  The well is shut in awaiting a completion rig.  Miller Petroleum is having big time success in Campbell County.  Recently they announced that the Lindsey Land Company #12, completed in the Big Line at 3,704 to 3,719 feet, tested at 2.7 million cubic feet a day.  Miller also announced it had completed two oil wells in its Koppers South field. The Tennessee Mining, Inc. #26B had 22 feet of pay and an IP of 58 BOD.  The #27B had 24 feet of pay in the Big Lime and an IP of 70 BOD.  Then in late October Champ Oil Co deepened a well they had drilled in June and it came in flowing out of the Knox group.  It was reported that some 600 barrels of oil was sold out of the well in the first few days.  The well is located in McCreary County, just across the Tennessee state line.

TENGASCO RANKS 144^th, MILLER PETROLEUM 175^th- The Oil & Gas Journal recently announced the top 200 publicly-owned oil companies in the United States. Knoxville-based Tengasco moved up from 155^th last year to 144^th.  Miller Petroleum, Inc., Huntsville, moved up to 175^th from 177^th last year.  Daugherty Petroleum, Lexington, KY, now ranks 152^nd, up from 156^th last year. And Blue Ridge Energy, Inc., Bowling Green, is 192^nd this year, down from 182^nd last year.

SWAN CREEK FIELD:ISOLATED SUCCESS OR TIP OF THE ICEBURG?-Dr. Robert Hatcher, University of Tennessee, answers that question in an article in the October 1^st  issue of the Oil & Gas Journal.   He says,” Even cursory examination of the state geologic map of Tennessee reveals numerous structures-like and unlike Swan Creek-that could be productive.”

1500 ACRE LEASE AVAILABLE-Ray Culp, Franklin, TN, has a 1500 acre farm in middle Tennessee, right on the Tennessee River, that he is interested in leasing.  Call 615-591-1801. 

BLAZE SPARKS FLARE PERMIT REQUIREMENT-TWRA, which requires a permit for a well flare, reports a well flare was the cause of some 100 acres being burned recently.  Neither the operator nor the well name was reported by TWRA.  In response to the burn, Mike Burton says that now when an operator wants to put a flare on a well, proof of the TWRA permit will be required.

NAPE EXPO 2002, JANUARY 30^th-The NAPE Expo is scheduled for January 30^th in Houston.  Sponsored by the AAPL & IPAA, it brings oil and gas property/prospects buyers and sellers together.  TOGA had great exposure at a smaller prospect expo in Houston earlier this year and may have a booth at NAPE.  Several operators have already committed to participate in a TOGA booth. TOGA must commit to a booth by December 3^rd.  If interested contact the TOGA office.
