General Field Information

Produces Oil: Yes Produces Gas: Yes
Exploration Method: Drill stem testing of the first Douglas sand while drilling an Arbuckle test on reflection seismograph for Champlin Refining Company.
Drilling Casing Practices: Mid-1950s wells: The Douglas sand was tested during the drilling. Oil string was set through the first Douglas sand and casing perforated on three of the wells. In one well the oil string was set on top of the sand with completion in open hole. All early wells were completed naturally.

DOUGLAS
(Douglas Group)
Depth Top: 3599 feet
Formation Lithology: Gray, fine to medium grained, micaceous, slightly shaly to shaly sandstone.
Trap Type: Local structural closure on a regional SW trending nose.
Continuity of Reservoir Rocks: The field is limited downdip by water at approximately 1984 feet deep. The first Douglas sand thins by shaling out and becomes separated by shale breaks updip to the North. This change in facies affects the water level in the northern most well, where it is found at 1964 feet deep.
