Oil/Water Exploration by Harold White I was called to do a location about 20 feet from a 36-gpm (gallons per minute) well my son Sean drilled back in 1993. That year, I was drilling oil wells in Kentucky. Sean was doing all of the lo- cating work and drilling that year. So I called Sean and got some infor- mation on the well. It was close to the property line and there was a well about 12 feet from it on this property, which pumps maybe two gpm. Because of this, I was called to find out if the underground creek the well is drilled into comes across the property, and if so, drill a well if the creek is big enough to pro- duce for both wells. Now I am working on this project without going onto the property with the well on it - not that they would mind. I was told I could check the well out, but from a courtesy point of view, I don’t. I have found creeks which go to that well. Now, which creek produces 36 gallons? That is the question. So, I started testing for the centers of them, and they went directly under that well. This appeared to be next to impossible as all of those creeks are at a different depth, and all in differ- ent directions like spokes in a wheel. Next, I tested them to see how many were water. My findings were hot water, oil, natural gas, salt water, sul- phur water, and a couple of water creeks. So then I checked those to see what their difference was - which creek is that ap- proximate size - and drill it. There was a chance to miss, but we usually don’t. If we do miss the creek, there will be five or six other creeks above or below that creek at the spot I choose to drill. There are a lot of hot water creeks across the United States, and around the world. The question is, how does a person find an underground hot water creek, river, or aquifer since it is a water creek that has passed a hot spot? Water has to be above a certain temperature to be detectable. The hot water creeks I found and drilled were above the boiling temperature of the area. Some tested were way over boiling. As long as it can be contained, it can get hotter. The statements and comments in this article are based on information and references believed to be true and factual.

Hope this is a start of some sales! Thanks for your help and if you have other ideas, please share them.
