 INTRODUCTION 
As of June, 1960, at least 113 oil tests have been drilled in Georgia. The deepest test, the J. R. Sealy Spindle Top #3 
in Seminole County, has been drilled to a depth of 7620 feet. Three other wells in the same area have gone deeper than 7,000 feet. The average depth has been 2915 feet, (see Fig. 1). Many shows of oil and gas have been reported.

Fig. !-Depth of Oil Tests in Georgia. 
All oil tests for which information is available are listed below chronologically by counties. Information for each is presented in the following order: 
GGS No. (the number under which cuttings arc filed in the sample library of the Georgia Geological Survey. 
D.P. # (Drilling permit) General location -Name - Operator. (Date completed) Basis for locating well Elevation at well site Total depth drilled Rock type at bottom of hole Remarks 
References Elevations and depths are in feet. A few abbreviated formational logs that are considered typical are included. For the relative age of formations mentioned in the logs see Figure 2. When samples and an electric log are available, this is indicated under the heading "Remarks." Information sources are cited as references.

WHAT IS BASEMENT? 
 
Past usage of the term "Baselflent" in reference to subsurlace rocks of the Coastal Plain has been inconsistent. Some 
 
workers have designated as "Basement" all pre-Cretaceous rocks regardless of whether they are igneoUs, metamorphic, or 
 
sedimentary; others have reserved the term for the igneous and metamorphic rocks alone. If "Basement" be defined simply 
 
<. : 
 
as a rock mass which has been eroded, perhaps base levelled, on which younger sediments have been deposited, then any 
 
mass beneath an erosional unconformity is a "Basement." Such a redefinition might be consistent with calling all pre- 
 
Cretaceous rocks basement, but it departs from past general usage and is therefore confusing. Basement, as used by geolo- 
 
gists, bears the same connotations as "Basement Complex" and is best reserved, in the Southeastern Coastal Plain, for the 
 
rock mass beneath all unmetamorphosed strata. 
 
At present, the term can be used accurately for few Coastal Plain rocks outside of zone 1 in Figure 3. We are safest in applying it to the high-grade metamorphic rocks, and can reasonably apply it to the medium- and low-grade metamorphic rocks, though not with strict accuracy until more is known about their distribution. The fact that a rock is meta. morphic or igneous does not prove it is basement. Consider, for example, the. contact metamorphic rocks adjacent to the thicker diabase intrusives in zone 2 and the rhyolites in zone 3. 
 
The important question from the oil prospector's viewpoint is not whether a bottom core represents basement but whether it may be regarded as potentially oil-bearing or associated with other rocks that might be oil-bearing. Whether a sample is basement can be hard to determine; whether it has evolved at elevated temperatures which might preclude the possibility of oil being found in it {as an igneous or metamorphic rock) is not so hard to decide. The inferences to be drawn from a rock's identification are important-may indicate whether to continue or discontinue drilling. Identification should be based, therefore, on careful petrographic measurements and not on general appearance or a poll of opinions. 
 
CHARACTER OF THE PRE-CRETACEOUS ROCKS 
The deepest wells in zone 1 (Figure 3) bottom in diorite, schist, and gneiss---<:rystalline rocks similar to those of the Piedmont to the northwest. 
The deepest wells in zone 2 bottom in "red beds" and diabase. These have been assigned a Triassic age because of lithologic similarity to Triassic rocks to the northeast. Actually, red beds are found in strata of all ages except those of the earliest pre-Cambrian age, and are common in the nearby Paleozoic strata of Northwest Georgia. Diabasic rocks, likewise, are not restricted to the Triassic period. The assignment of a Triassic age to all red beds and diabasic rocks under the Coastal Plain, by lithologic correlation, is little better than speculative until additional evidence bearing on their age can be obtained. 
The deepest wells in zone 3 bottom in volcanic rocks, as basalt, rhyolite, and tuff, which are not correctly labelled as basement. Though their glassy component has devitrified, they have not been regionally metamorphosed and oilbearing strata might be found underneath them. The granite penetrated by two Pierce County wells could represent a local intrusive rather than basement. 
The deepest wells in zone 4 bottom in Paleozoic strata, typically in feldspathic quartz sandstone or dark shale. 
 
POSSIBILITIES 
The number and spacing of wildcats so far drilled are inadequate for appraisal of oil and gas possibilities in Georgia. We know, however, that rocks which might bear oil underlie a large part of the State and that most of them have not been prospected. 
Interest is currently focused on the coastal .ind submerged portions of the Coastal Plain where the thickness of sediments probably exceeds 10,000 feet. This area is completely untested. 
Considering the character and extent of the sedimentary rocks and production from neighboring States, the discovery of oil and gas in Georgia is a reasonable expectation.
