Scout tickets are short synopses of the drilling history of a well and the results of drilling. In the past oil companies employed scouts, who watched competitors' drilling operations from a distance, and traded information with other scouts. Today most scout tickets are the written report a company must provide to the state. Some companies provide a lot of information, but others give as little as possible, and in the case of a critical well, almost none; this is called a tight hole. Information that may be on a scout ticket includes location,details of drilling and casing, geologic tops, test results (such as drill stem testing),and final status.
