Patterson Field Oil & Gas Data

General Field Information

Produces Oil: Yes Produces Gas: No
Exploration Method: Based on a combination of subsurface interpretation and seismograph data.
Drilling Casing Practices: As of October 1958, the three wells were producing naturally through the perforations. On most of the tests in the area, from 1000 to 1200 feet of surface casing was run.
Discussion: In 1942, the average cost to drill and equip a producing well was $48,000.

Producing Formation:


MORROWAN
(Upper Kearny Member)


Depth Top: 4800 feet
Formation Lithology: Medium to coarse grained, angular, clear quartz sandstone. There is visual porosity and stain in the samples.
Trap Type: The producing interval is from 15 feet of sandstone in the upper Morrowan (Pennsylvanian) series, called the "Patterson sand." Accumulation is primarily the result of a stratigraphic trap, inasmuch as the sandstone lens appears to pinch out in all directions. The sandstone lens is situated on a structural high but the effect upon the oil accumulation is indeterminate.

Water Production: In October 1958 when the KOGF, Vol. II entry was written for Patterson field, there were only three producing wells in the field. All three were completed free of water, but were producing water by October 1958. Pan American drilled a salt water disposal well to the Cedar Hills sandstone (Permian), the Gropp 1, in 22S-38W-24, 15-093-00727. The three wells produced from 6 to 12 barrels of water during a 24 hour test. Resistivity in ohms/M2: 60 degrees F - 0.078 80 degrees F - 0.062 100 degrees F - 0.054 120 degrees F - 0.045 Brine analysis came from the discovery well.
Proven Production: 300 acres
