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 L

Homer gas field (H)

Location: Licking (Bennington, Burlington, Granville, Liberty, and McKean Twps.) and Knox (Milford and Miller Twps.) Counties, Ohio
Discovery date: 1900
Depth (ft): 2,100 to 2,200
Hydrocarbon type and GOR: Nonassociated gas
Structural setting: Regional eastward-dipping homocline; minor anticlinal noses and terraces
Stratigraphic name of reservoir: "Clinton" sands; reservoir is an offshore-marine bar
Trap: Stratigraphic; westward pinchout of "Clinton" sands
Porosity: F ave = 9.5%, range 4 to 17%
Permeability: Kave = 20 mD
Natural fractures:  
Diagenetic features:  
Water saturation and volume/salinity of produced water: Sw(ave) = 31%
Gas/water and oil/water contacts: None reported; but by analogy to the Arabia field, Lawrence Co., Ohio, this field may have a gas-water contact
Reservoir pressure: P(ave) = 780 psi (0.36 psi/ft), range 739 to 821 psi; 700 to 800 psi (Pinitial = 950 psi) also reported
Bottom-hole temperature: 89°F
Well spacing:  
Ultimate production (EUR per well):
