Oil & Gas Production Information
Produces Oil: Yes

Producing Formation:


MISSISSIPPIAN
(Mississippian System)
Depth Top: 4660 feet
Formation Lithology: Crystalline and fossiliferous to dense limestone with porosity development in small vugular to oolicastic and coarse intercrystalline voids
Trap Type: Structural and stratigraphic. Altered by local erosion. Closures on regional nosing.

MISSISSIPPIAN (Mississippian System)
Oil & Gas Production Information
Produces Oil: Yes
Maximum Net Pay: 10 feet
Gas Oil Contact: There is no definite gas-oil contact in the reservoir. Reservoir limits are a result of porosity pinchout or increasing water saturation. Some edge water encroachment has occurred.
Drive Mechanism: Expansion of solution gas and water encroachment at low structural position in lower producing intervals in edge wells.
Water Production: Water production has increased gradually from traces initially to as high as 96% of the total fluid by 1959. Volumes, however, are small due to the low fluid capacities of the wells, ranging from between 2 and 9 barrels of water per well per day. As of 1959, no definite water datum had been established.
Proven Production: 500 acres

MISSISSIPPIAN (Mississippian System)
Porosity
Porosity Type: There is variable porosity development throughout a 100-foot interval at the top of the formation. Several intervals of porosity occur roughly within the top 60 feet of the formation and one interval between 70 to 100 feet. The intervals are not necessarily continuous from well to well. The lower interval is usually the more uniformly developed and more permeable. The rocks are crystalline and fossiliferous to dense limestone with porosity development in small vugular to oolicastic and coarse intercrystalline voids. Some vertical fracture development occurs but is considered a small part of the porosity.
