Until the state came up with tougher regulations this month, a drilling operation that struck oil usually found other rigs moving in as close as leases would allow.

The boom has brought new to man the drilling rigs (looking like Messrs.

Even with the new oil finds production is nowhere near Ohio's all-time high total of 23.9 million barrels in 1896.

Nor does it approach totals for such states as Texas, which turns out something like 975 million barrels a year.

Morrow County, where it all began and where most of the activity still is going on, is only a few miles north of the geographical center of Ohio. Its communities, primarily Mount Gilead, Cardington and Edison, now find their streets and sidewalks caked with mud of the oil fields. Restaurants are filled most of the time, vehicles with out-of- state plates take much of the parking space, and most available office space and all available housing is occupied by oil people, residents claim. Nearby hotels and motels are very busy. Then the smell.

As a safety precaution (and because, at the moment, nothing else to do with most of it), the natural gas brought up with the oil is burned off. The odor is prevalent throughout the area. Ralph Bernhagen. chief of the State Geological Survey Division. thinks a gas boom, too.

He says it will last longer than present oil activity, which some geologists believe will peak shortly, then perhaps continue for five to ten years. been some talk of collecting the gas for commercial use. But oil producers say they are being offered about five cents per 1,000 cubic feet and ought to get 15 to 20 cents or more. Noel J. Monk brought in what probably was the first well in the area intended to produce oil.

There had been a few accidental oil strikes in the history. That was Dec. 18, 1959. The story goes that location of the first well on the 225 acre Monk farm was determined by a neighbor with a divining rod. Oil men start converging on the area until 1962.

At the start of 1963, there were 23 wells in Morrow County. At the start of this year, the number exceeded IOO. Among other attractions is the fact that the oil generally does not lie too far underground, around 3,000 feet or so. In the meantime, the boom has spread as far as Ashtabula County in the northeast corner of the state and south into Franklin County near the capital. It also has spread east abd west, and suggested by J.

C. (Hack) Wilson, assistant concerned that too many drillings, too close together, might deplete underground oil formations too rapidly and leave considerable oil unrecoverable. The U.S. secretary of the interior, Stewart L. Udall, expressed concern last month in a letter to Gov.

James A. Rhodes. Unless Ohio takes adequate steps, Udall said, the federal government might have to look into the situation. J. J.

Simmons III, a Department of the Interior domestic petroleum production specialist, was to be in Ohio this week for a first-hand look at the situation. departments of health and natural resources say there have been reports of water pollution in Morrow County, volving oil and brine. Headwaters for five streams are in the county, and officials are watching the situation closely. And, while man hastens to remove it, apparently consider able oil remains 3.000 or more feet down under Ohio, waiting in the porous rock where it has been forming for some 600 mil lion years.
