Reconnaissance of water quality in the vicinity of Sunniland Oil Field, Collier County, Florida, 1971-72.

Date Issued:
1973-08
Summary:
Oil exploration in Florida began around the turn of the century in Escambia County (Gunter, 1949). Many test wells were drilled from 1900 until Humble Oil and Refining Company developed Florida's first producing well (Gulf Coast Realties Corp. No. 1) in September 1943 at Sunniland. Anticipation of oil exploration in the Big Cypress area aroused concern the effects a producing field would have on the quality of surface water in the area. The Florida Department of Natural Resources requested the U.S. Geological Survey to determine whether there have been any such effects. The 29-year old Sunniland oil field was chosen for this preliminary evaluation.
