The first well on which testing was attempted was the Alice C. Plantation No. 2 Well, located in St. Mary Parish, Louisiana. Originally drilled by the Sun Oil Company to a total depth of 19,000 feet, this well was abandoned as a dry hole in January 1964. Gruy's reentry attempt ended with plugging and abandonment after a saltwater flow on September 17, 1978. All events and costs relating to the Alice C. Plantation well, from its initial selection as a reentry well through the plugging and abandonment operations are detailed. (MHR)
