Tovrea Field Oil & Gas Data

General Field Information

Produces Oil: Yes Produces Gas: No
Geologic Province: Goodland Anticline
Exploration Method: Washdown of well with log and sample show
Surface Formation: Pleistocene Sanborn Formation
Oldest Formation Penetrated: Arbuckle
Drilling Casing Practices: The wells are drilled with rotary rigs primarily using fresh water mud systems, although salt systems have also been used. Surface casing of 8 5/8" is set to depths of 332 to 442 feet. A 7 7/8" hole is then drilled to total depth, often to the Mississippian Dolomite, and a 4 1/2" production casing is set. Completion practices vary from perforating and producing naturally to perforating and acidizing individual zones with up to 2000 gallons of acetic/HCI acid mixtures. The multiple pay zones are typically commingled after later workovers if all are not opened on the initial completion. Scale formation can occur in the Marmaton wells, but is satisfactorily managed with inhibitors.
Electric Logging Practices: Radiation-Guard-Caliper

Discussion: Subsurface mapping, log evaluation and examination of samples from the Jackson, Shear, and Parker #1 Briney (Drilled in 1958) prompted Thunderbird Drilling, Inc. to washdown that well in May 1978. After setting 4.5 production casing, 10 feet of the Upper Pawnee Limestone was perforated and acidized. Swab tests recovered 22 BOPH and the well was subsequently put on pump for 136 BOPD, establishing the Briney Field. Immediately after Thunderbirds discovery, Nielson Enterprises drilled and ran production casing on the #1 Tovrea, 1 mile to the northwest of the #1 Briney. After perforating and acidizing 10 feet of Upper Pawnee Limestone, the well was put on pump for 105 BOPD, establishing the Tovrea field. Log evaluation and subsurface mapping of the two fields reveals northwest trending lenses of porosity in the Lansing-Kansas City and Marmaton limestones. These porous zones are productive where they cross the northeast flank of two positive features mapable on the H-zone, J-zone, Upper Altamont, and Upper Pawnee formations.
