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


Appendix V

Ravenna gas field (R)

Location: Portage County, Ohio (Randolph, Ravenna, and Rootstown Twps.)
Discovery date: 1949
Depth (ft): ~4,500
Hydrocarbon type and GOR: Gas and local associated oil
Structural setting: Regional southeast-dipping homocline; no terraces or anticlinal noses reported; northwest-trending Suffield fault in Randolph and Suffield Twps. adjoins the southwest side of the field; large east-plunging anticlinal nose is located at the north end of the field
Stratigraphic name of reservoir: "Clinton" sands
Trap: Stratigraphic; no recognizable updip pinchout of sandstone reservoirs; no recognizable updip decrease in net sandstone thickness
Porosity: F ave = 9%, sample number = 7; F ave = 7.5%, range 6 to 9.7%; F ave = <10% also reported; North Ravenna, F ave = 8.2%, range 5.8 to 11.0%
Permeability: K > 0.3 mD
Natural fractures:  
Diagenetic features:  
Water saturation and volume/salinity of produced water: Sw(ave) = 30%; Sw(ave) = 25%, range 13 to 32% also reported; Sw + So = 50%
Gas/water and oil/water contacts: None recognized; oil seems to have accumulated in the thickest sandstone reservoirs
Reservoir pressure: 1,400 psi (0.31 psi/ft); Pave = 1,564 psi, range 1548 to 1578 psi, sample number = 3; (0.36 psi/ft)
Bottom-hole temperature: 102° F
Well spacing: 100 acres or more
Ultimate production (EUR per well): Ravenna: 95th percentile (F95) = 40 MMCF of gas, 50th percentile (F50) = 300 MMCF of gas, 5th percentile (F5) = 1,100 MMCF of gas, sample number = 33

North Ravenna: 95th percentile (F95) = 32 MMCF of gas, 50th percentile (F50) = 132 MMCF of gas, 5th percentile (F5) = 475 MMCF of gas, sample number = 48

Ravenna and North Ravenna: 95th percentile (F95) = 34 MMCF of gas, 50th percentile (F50) = 200 MMCF of gas, 5th percentile (F5) = 980 MMCF of gas, sample number = 81
