This link is from the year 2000, but after a quick check of the state database, I don't see any others drilled deeper in Louisiana between then and now (not sure about the entire US).
quote:

Deepest borehole drilled in Louisiana: Martin Exploration #1 Eckart in 1981, St. Landry Parish, 25,703 feet total depth (compared to the deepest borehole drilled in the United States: Lone Star Producing #1 Bertha Rogers in 1974, Washita County, Oklahoma, 31,441 feet total depth)

Some of those deep Springer wells in Oklahoma have been monster gas wells. I'd have to check my old Tuscaloosa books laying around but the deepest wells there had to have been low 20's, and that would be in the most downdip locations. Judge Digby was the deepest I think maybe around 22,000' at the most.


The McMoran wells referenced in the article on page one are now owned by Energy XXI and are the Peterson and Landers wells. They are drilling a 3rd well there now.
