2006 Gradyville Oilfield: One of Kentucky's Longest Producing Wells



2006-04-20 - Gradyville, Oil Capitol of Adair CO, KY - Photo Ed Waggener. She aint what she used to be, but the Willie Nell No. 1 well pump still looks awfully fine to Gradyville Oil Baron Ricky Hamlett, who is the landowner with his brother, Barry Hamlett. When it first started producing in 1970, the famous Willie Nell No. 1 Well produced 150 barrels a day. If it were producing that much now, at current $72 plus a barrel price, the gross would be over $10,000 a day! It produces around 10 barrels a day. The well is owned by JR, Jimmy Reliford, who plans more wells on the Hamlett farm. The well is one of the longest producing wells in Kentucky.
