General Field Information | |
| Geologic Province: | Salina Basin |
|---|---|
| Exploration Method: | Surface geology, subsurface geology, seeps, magnetic data, gravity data, seismic data, seismic refraction. Anticline on which the Lindsborg field is partly located was detected with a shallow core-drilling survey in 1929 by the Dixie (Stanolind) Oil Company. In 1937 Carter Oil Company resurveyed this area with a correlation-point reflection seismograph survey using dynamite as a source. A seismic contour map on a reflector from the top of the Viola-Maquoketa carbonate section aided in placing the discovery well. Production was extended off-structure by subsequent development wells. |
| Drilling Casing Practices: | Amount of surface casing set: 100-175 feet Casing: 13 3/8 inch casing is usually set to 100-175 foot (to below base of river alluvium of Smoky Hill River and Plio-Pleistocene "Equus beds"); 8 5/8 inch casing is usually set to 300-375 feet (to below base of bedded salts in Permian section); 5 1/2 inch casing is set to ~3350 feet (either just above top of potential producing zone [followed by open-hole completion], or through the potential producing zone [followed by perforating operations]). Drilling mud: Saltwater based chemical or bentonite muds with weight of 9.5-10.5 lb/gallon with viscosity between 35 and 45. Bit program: After second string of casing is set to 300-375 feet, one button-bit can usually drill the entire hole. |
| Treatment Practices: | Maquoketa and Viola carbonates are usually sand fractured and acidized; Simpson sandstone is usually untreated but in some cases as acidized. |
| Completion Practices: | Perforations: Marquoketa: top 5-6 feet of Maquoketa dolomite Viola: 8-10 feet thick porous zone located below 10-20 foot thick nonporous bed at top of unit. Simpson: top 5-6 feet of 20-30 foot sandstone, located immediately below a 10 foot shale at top of unit. |
| Electric Logging Practices: | Older logging suites usually include lateral and normal resistivity logs with SP, neutron, and GR; more recent suites include compensated neutron/lithodensity with GR and SP, and dual induction suites with SFL. |
