Morrison Field Oil & Gas Data

General Field Information

Produces Oil: Yes Produces Gas: Yes
Geologic Province: Anadarko Basin
Exploration Method: Subsurface geology
Surface Formation: Post-Blaine Permian (Guadalupian)
Oldest Formation Penetrated: Arbuckle (Ordovician)
Drilling Casing Practices: Drill 800 feet of surface hole; set 8 5/8" surface casing with 600 sacks. Drill 7 7/8" hole to total depth with chemical/salt mud. Set 5 1/2" production pipe with 150 sacks pozmix and common, 18% salt; follow with 200 sacks lite. Perforate with 2 shots per foot across log porosity in oil column (in some wells where log porosity is essentially absent, much of the upper Viola was perforated, sometimes successfully and sometimes with much disappointment). No treatment; rare acid and fracture treatments have been unsuccessful. Swab in to flow; several wells have flowed for a few weeks or more.
Electric Logging Practices: DIL and CNL-FDC-GR
Comments: One portion of the field is drilled on 80-acre well spacing instead of 40.

Oil & Gas Production Information

Produces Gas: Yes

Producing Formation:


VIOLA
(Viola Limestone Formation)


Geological Age: Ordovician
Depositional Environment: Unknown, but probably peritidal
Formation Lithology: Sucrosic dolomite porosity is believed to occur due to karst processes and fracturing; no cores are available for study. There is very poor correspondence between log (gamma ray/porosity) response and cuttings.
Formation Geometry: Density log porosity is most readily mapped along NW-SE trends, sub-parallel to the axis of the structural nose. The structural closure is poorly defined to the northwest, and is not critical to the oil accumulation. It is certainly reasonable to assume that natural fractures are critical to this accumulation, and they are related to the fold axis. Porosity distribution is less-clearly related to, but obviously enhanced by fractures. There is some minor evidence from cuttings to suggest that karst processes enhanced porosity development on and near the Viola exposure surface.
Trap Type: Fracture distribution on structural nose
