Discusses artesian waters encountered in drilling the Early Tertiary succession at Wilkatana. Salinity up to 290,000 p.p.m. Concludes that percussion drilling fluid samples were satisfactory representation of formation water, but that rotary drilling fluid samples were not. Recommends use of a Johnson Tester tool in rotary holes after each coring run, to get a true and detailed picture of formation fluid mechanics. Includes contoured salinity and static water level plans for various horizons. Includes field analyses of water samples for approximate total dissolved salts.
