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


Appendix W

Senecaville gas field (S)

Location: Guernsey County, Ohio (Richland Twp.)
Discovery date: 1969; 1971 ("Clinton" part)
Depth (ft): 5,600
Hydrocarbon type and GOR: Gas and local associated oil (38 to 42° API gravity); GOR = 125,000
Structural setting: Regional southeast-dipping homocline
Stratigraphic name of reservoir: "Clinton" sands; reservoirs are fluvial-dominated deltaic sandstone
Trap: Stratigraphic; possible updip pinchout of sandstone reservoirs
Porosity: F ave = 8%, range 2 to 16%
Permeability: Kave = 0.5 mD, range 0.01 to 5 mD; K = 0.011 mD also reported
Natural fractures:  
Diagenetic features:  
Water saturation and volume/salinity of produced water: Sw (ave) = 20%, range 10 to 60%; water production is low, range 0 to 2,000 BW/year or 0 BW/MMCFG to 12 BW/MMCFG
Gas/water and oil/water contacts:  
Reservoir pressure: 1,200 psi (0.21 psi/ft)
Bottom-hole temperature:  
Well spacing: 40 acres
Ultimate production (EUR per well): 50th percentile (F50) = 180 MMCF of gas and 2,000 BO

Typical well: EUR(15 years) = 245 MMCF of gas also reported

Best well (Consolidated Resources America No. 1 Dziedzic, Ohio, permit no. 2647, drilled in 1980): produced 153 MMCF of gas in the first year (1980); produced 104,637 MCF of gas, 0 BO, and 2,735 BW from 1984 through 1995; production unknown in 1981 through 1983

Ultimate production for field = 4.2 BCF of gas and 46,000 BO
