Rome Field Oil & Gas Data

General Field Information

Produces Oil: Yes Produces Gas: No
Geologic Province: Sedgwick Basin
Exploration Method: Seismic
Surface Formation: Locally loess with outcrops of the Sumner group of Upper Permian Age
Oldest Formation Penetrated: Arbuckle
Drilling Casing Practices: There are no special drilling or completion practices. The Simpson is perforated and put on the pump. The Mississippian is perforated and given a mild acid job of 1000-2500 gal 15% before being put on the pump.
Electric Logging Practices: Logs generally run were Dual Induction-Laterlog with a Compensated Neutron-Formation Density.
Comments: Other Shows: None reported in Rome field. In the Northern area of the Rome N. E. field, however, numerous shows have been reported in the Kansas City, including the KU Endowment 1 well, located in T33S - R1E - Section 6: C NE NE.
Discussion: The Rome Field was discovered in June of 1976 with the completion of the Rusk 'A' 1 well in the NE SW NW of Sec. 33S-1E-18. The main productive horizon within the field is the Simpson Sandstone, specifically the Saint Peter Sandstone. As of December 31st, 1984 the field had produced 498,454 barrels of oil. The Rome Field lies along the eastern edge of the Sedgwick Basin and, along with the other Simpson fields in the area, it follows the trend of the Nemaha Ridge northeast-southwest. The uplift along the ridge as well as the differential compaction of the Simpson shales has provided the structural relief for the hydrocarbon accumulations in the Simpson fields in southern Sumner County.
