General Field Information | |
Exploration Method: | Detailed regional subsurface geology was first employed, then complemented with a seismic survey. |
---|---|
Drilling Casing Practices: | Completion: An average of 4000 feet of 5-inch production string was set through the Lansing-Kansas City groups. Perforations were made in the lower zones in some wells and in all zones in others. From 1000 to 5000 gallons of acid were put to the formation and the wells were then put on the pump. Surface casing: Set a minimum of 200 feet. Generally, an 8-inch surface pipe was set into the Fort Hays limestone at an average depth of 330 feet. |

Trap Type: | The entrapment of oil in the Warner field is due to thin permeable and porous crystalline limestones that lie discontinuously over a north-northeast trending asymmetrical anticline. The flexure, as well as some of the permeability and porosity, may be directly related to movement along a postulated fault on the east side of the field. The maps indicate the faulted area of the field has been the most active area, structurally speaking, on a feature that was mildly positive throughout long periods of geologic time. Regionally, the dip in the area is southwestward, however, Graham Curtis (Gulf Oil Corporation, 1959) feels that the field is related to the structural patterns set up during pre-Cambrian times. Fault lineament or fracture patterns originating from forces structurally controlled by the Cambridge Arch area to the northeast probably played a major role in the forming of later entrapment conditions. It may also be noted that wells found on structural highs in this region, of which the Warner field is typical, have less granite wash and/or lower Pennsylvanian sediments than the wells off the structures. These findings point to the fact that this structurally active area was mildly positive over long periods of geologic time. The present day anticlinal conditions were undoubtedly produced by recurring movement in the old zone of weakness during the Laramide Revolution. |
Continuity of Reservoir Rocks: | Each consecutive pay horizon, from the base of the Kansas City on up, laterally encompasses more productive average, so that when the top formation of the Lansing-Kansas City is reached, the greatest areal extent of production is present. This progression of better entrapment conditions also infers minor movement along the structural axis and adjacent fault during the time of deposition. |

Producing Formation:PENN. SAND |
Depth Top: | 3483 feet |
Formation Lithology: | The sandstone is fine to very fine grained, rounded and frosted grains. Scattered glauconite granules and zones of silt are also found in this unit, which is the shoreward facies of thick limestones found farther to the south and west. |
Trap Type: | The entrapment of oil in this sandstone is related to the updip structural conditions as discussed in the Lansing-Kansas City trap. Stratigraphic conditions may also play a part, however, there are insufficient data to determine this. The sandstone is thicker in the area of production, which may infer some permeability pinch-out effect in a southern direction. Unexpected salt water recoveries on the high wells and differential bottom hole pressures may infer that the oil is hydrodynamically displaced. |
