Moore Southwest Field Oil & Gas Data

General Field Information

Produces Oil: Yes Produces Gas: Yes
Geologic Province: Northwestern Corner of the Pratt Anticline
Exploration Method: Subsurface and seismic studies by William Jackson
Surface Formation: Dune sands in the Kansan stage of the Pleistocene Series
Oldest Formation Penetrated: Simpson Sand (Middle Ordovician)
Drilling Casing Practices: It is common practice to drill to approx. 1000' before setting surface to check for lost circulation zones, then set an average of 400' of 8 5/8" surface pipe. A drillstem test was attempted in the Kinderhook sand on most of the wells because of the erratic structural differences. They are drilled to the top of the Viola for correlation purposes, then logged. The completion of the Kinderhook sand begins with perforating the sand with 4 shots per foot, followed by a 250 gallons mud acid job for clean-up. The wells were then frac'd with 5000 to 15,000 lbs. of 20-40 sand.
Electric Logging Practices: Radiation Guard Log with Caliper Compensated Density and Neutron
Discussion: The Moore Southwest pool was discovered by Champlin Oil and Refining Company in February 1953. The discovery well was the Henderson 1, drilled in the SW-NE-NW of Section 11-T26s-R14W, and was completed out of the Simpson Sand with significant drill stem tests in the Viola, Kinderhook Sand, and Lansing-Kansas City sections. The report in Kansas Oil and Gas Fields, Volume V deals with the discovery by Raymond Oil Company, Inc. in 1980 of a new Kinderhook Sand development. In the years from 1953 to 1955 Champlin drilled and completed 6 wells in the Kinderhook Sand. In 1957 they initiated a waterflood project of those particular wells. At the time the project was started, those wells had a combined cumulative production of 93,813 BO and a average of 6 BOPD from each well. From this and other information gathered from Champlin, Raymond Oil had given the estimated maximum recoverable reserves from primary production as 120,500 BO. As of 1985, the total production of those leases as a unit was 291,657 BO. At that time, only one well in the unit was still producing at 5 BOPD. It was concluded that the waterflood had more than doubled the recoverable reserves. In 1985, it was recommended that future prospecting and current producing leases in the Kinderhook Sand be given a close look at the economic potential of secondary recovery methods by means of waterflooding in the local area of Pratt and Stafford counties.

KINDERHOOKIAN
(Kinderhookian Stage)
Depth Top: 4246 feet
Geological Age: Deposited between the Kinderhookian-Osagan Stage unconformity in the lower Mississippian Series.
Depositional Environment: It appears to be locally a shallow, larger than average, near-shore marine bar, with its characteristic lateral extent perpendicular to basinward dip and varying 1 to 10 feet of sand thicknesses.
Formation Lithology: Fine to medium grain, sub-angular, clear to mostly brown sandstone with fair to good intergranular porosity, very friable. The sand carries a dark stain, fair to good show of free oil, good odor and good fluorescence.
Formation Geometry: A lateral east to west sand with a north and south pinch-out, resulting in a width of approximately 1 mile. Locally structural anomalies within the sand show an apparent trend from NW to SE, but regionally they tend to be erratic and crosstrended within the sand boundaries. These local structures also have a very steep rate of dip from well to well that can be in excess of 65 feet per 1/4 mile.
Trap Type: Stratigraphic and structural
