Smoots Creek Field Oil & Gas Data

General Field Information

Produces Oil: Yes Produces Gas: No
Geologic Province: Sedgwick Basin
Exploration Method: Subsurface Geology
Surface Formation: Pleistocene Aluvium
Oldest Formation Penetrated: Arbuckle Dolomite
Drilling Casing Practices: Move in and rig up rotary tools. Drill a 12 1/4" hole to approximately 200' using water. Run a minimum of 200' of 8 5/8" surface casing using 200 sacks of cement to insure circulation back to the surface. Wait eight hours for cement to dry. Drill a 7 7/8" hole to the total depth using chemical gel mud. Run 5 1/2" production casing to the total depth and cement to Kansas Corporation Commission specifications. Perforate the entire productive zone with 2 shots per foot. Normally a small acid job is performed to clean up the perforations. Swab back to clean up. Put the well on pump.
Electric Logging Practices: Radiation Guard Caliper is run from total depth to base of surface pipe. Some operators have run an additional porosity log over the bottom 2000' of borehole.
Comments: Other Shows: Light staining and some free oil in the Mississippi Chert.
