General Field Information

Produces Oil: Yes Produces Gas: Yes
Geologic Province: Anadarko Basin Shelf
Exploration Method: Subsurface geology-reflection Seismograph
Surface Formation: Permian-Blaine
Oldest Formation Penetrated: Ordovician-Arbuckle
Drilling Casing Practices: Drill 12 1/4" hole to approximately 650' and set either 9 5/8" or 8 5/8" surface pipe. Cement to surface. Depth of surface pipe necessitated by a persistent but not always occurring zone of lost circulation at about 450'. Drill 7 7/8" holes to total depth and set 4 1/2" casing. Cement with 150 sacks. Perforate and treat as indicated. Most of the Morrow wells were completed natural or with only a small mud acid job. The Mississippian wells were acidized with between 1,500 and 3,000 gallons.
Electric Logging Practices: Dual Induction-G.R.-S.P, CNL-FDC-G.R.-Cal., Sonic, Microlog. Gamma Ray-Neutron-Guard, Density-Caliper.
Discussion: The Lexington Field was first opened at Mesa #1-19 Seacat, SW SE Section 19-T31S-R21W in April, 1977. This well was completed flowing 94 BOPD and 603 MCFGPD from the Mississippian Meramec limestone. The test well was the first of 13 oil and gas completions as of 1985 in the Mississippian reservoir that, taken as a whole, appeared to be only marginally profitable. A one-half mile east stepout, the Mesa # 1-20 Moore, was drilled and completed in December, 1978, in the SW SW Section 20-31S-21W. This was the discovery well of the Morrow Sand pool and was completed flowing 964 BOPD and 374 MCFGPD. This well is remarkable because it produced 56,000 barrels of oil during its first 55 days of production and was shut-in pending the establishment of an appropriate allowable. The Morrow pool was spaced on "laydown" 80 acre units and the per well allowable was set at 250 BOPD by the KCC in July, 1979. The pool was quickly developed, with nine additional Morrow wells being completed in 1979, all located in the E 1/2 E 1/2 of SEC. 19, the W 1/2 W ½ of Sec. 20, and the NW 1/4 of Sec. 29. By October 1984, these original ten wells, supplemented only slightly by infill wells drilled in 1982 and 1983, had produced 2,104,291 BO and 2,400,611 MCFG. The secondary recovery unit (water flood), first proposed in 1981, had not been fully implemented by 1985. By that time, a pilot project had reported favorable results.
