Characteristics of discrete and basin-centered parts of the Lower Silurian regional oil and gas accumulation, Appalachian basin: Preliminary results from a data set of 25 oil and gas fields

U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 98-216


Appendix H

Conneaut gas field (Kastle pool) [Cn(K)]

Location: Crawford County, Pennsylvania (Edinboro South and Meadville 7½ min. quads)
Discovery date: 1962
Depth (ft): 3,950
Hydrocarbon type and GOR: Gas and associated oil (all wells produce some oil, as much as 50 BOPD)
Structural setting: Regional southeast-dipping homocline with southest-plunging anticlinal noses
Stratigraphic name of reservoir: Medina Group (Grimsby Formation and Whirlpool Sandstone); northeast-trending sandstone bodies subparallel to interpreted shoreline trend
Trap: Stratigraphic; updip permeability barrier caused by shale-out of pay sand
Porosity: F ave (log) (estimated) ~ 9%, range 5 to 18%
Permeability: Kave = <0.05 mD, range 0.0093 to 0.13 mD
Natural fractures:  
Diagenetic features: Reservoirs have < 10% clay and silica and (or) dolomitic cement
Water saturation and volume/salinity of produced water: All wells produce some water; amount is unknown
Gas/water and oil/water contacts: Not enough data to determine; segregation of fluids may occur in some of the larger water-bearing, porous Medina Group sandstones located in other fields to the northwest
Reservoir pressure: 1,060 psi (0.25 psi/ft), range 635 to 1,280 psi
Bottom-hole temperature:  
Well spacing: 80 to 320 acres; trend is toward 160 acres
Ultimate production (EUR per well):
