General Field Information | |
| Geologic Province: | Northeast Flank of the Central Kansas Uplift |
|---|---|
| Exploration Method: | Seismic in conjunction with subsurface geology |
| Oldest Formation Penetrated: | Arbuckle |
| Drilling Casing Practices: | Typical drilling procedure requires approximately 700' of 8 5/8" surface casing often coupled with 75' of 13 3/8" conductor pipe. (Most well sites are located in the Saline River Bottom floodway in an area where the Dakota flows.) From there we would drill into each pay zone and drillstem test them separately, later setting 4 1/2" production casing l' off bottom. Pays were stimulated by perforating selected zones as indicated by DST recoveries and logging characteristics. Average acid treatment is 500 gallons of 28% NE. |
| Electric Logging Practices: | Radiation Guard Log |
| Comments: | Estimated Primary Recovery: 922,767 BO Enhanced Recovery: Peripheral-type water injection Estimated Utimate Recovery: 1,117,827 BO |

| Depth Top: | 2788 feet |
| Geological Age: | Pennsylvanian |
| Depositional Environment: | The Melland Pool is located on the northeast flank of the Central Kansas Uplift. Structurally, the field is situated on a northwest-southeast trending anticline encompassing approximately 320 acres. The principal trapping mechanism is structural with stratigraphic variations within the lower producing zones. This feature is of relatively high relief (55' west dip) compared to surrounding LKC pools. The aspect of a high anhydrite combined with thinning of isopach values from Anhydrite to LKC seems apparent over the productive area. It is this interval of thinning that was detected accurately by seismic, leading to the discovery of this field. |
| Formation Lithology: | Cream-light tan fine crystalline dense limestone usually with poor pinpoint trace vugular porosity. |
| Trap Type: | Combination structural / stratigraphic |
