Joe Colllins, Travis Coomer drilling for oil on Sandusky Mill Hill By Ed Waggener Joe Collins and Travis Coomer are drilling for oil on the top of the Sandusky Mill Hill and should know tomorrow whether their hunch is right - that there's oil there on the top of Sandusky Mill Hill. This morning, Tuesday, April 2, 2014, they had reached 850 feet. Collins said he's hoping they hit oil in the Knox Formation, at around 15-1600 feet.

The well is on a 14 acre plot Travis Coomer and Joe Collins bought four years ago from the Sanduskys, after Murrell Burton stopped Collins on the street and told him he had listed a piece of property that Collins ought to have. As it turned out, the 14 acres weren't just land with a fabulous view of Columbia and much of Adair County - that was a bonus - but it also had buildings which Collins could use for a terminal for the crude oil transportation business he and Coomer owned together. That was what it has been used the past four years until they sold the business recently to Hinds Oil Gathering Transport - H.O.G. Transport - of Burkesville, KY. Collins said that surprisingly, even with oil at $100 a barrel, their isn't much oil exploration going on in the area. "We just decided to drill," and we just picked this spot because it is convenient," he said, "and oil might be found anywhere." We'll know on Thursday whether anywhere includes Sandusky Mill Hill.
