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


Appendix Y

Yorktown/Clay gas field (Y/Cy)

Location: Tuscarawas County, Ohio (Clay and Warwick Twps.)
Discovery date: 1965
Depth (ft): ~5,000
Hydrocarbon type and GOR: Gas and associated oil
Structural setting: East-southeast-dipping homocline; several southeast-plunging anticlinal noses; possible local anticlinal closure
Stratigraphic name of reservoir: "Clinton" sands; red Clinton sand has the best porosity
Trap: Stratigraphic; possible updip pinchout of sandstone reservoirs
Porosity: F ave = 7 to 8%, as high as 10 to 12%; F ave = 8.4% also reported
Permeability: K = 0.053 to 0.094 mD
Natural fractures:  
Diagenetic features:  
Water saturation and volume/salinity of produced water: Total fluid saturation (oil + water) = 20 to 35%; Salinityave = 213,277 ppm, range 173,688 to 287,074 ppm, sample number = 3
Gas/water and oil/water contacts:  
Reservoir pressure: 1,450 psi (0.29 psi/ft); 1,718 to 1,796 psi (0.34 to 0.37 psi/ft) also reported
Bottom-hole temperature:  
Well spacing: 40 acres
Ultimate production (EUR per well): Two wells: EUR = 1,100 MMCF of gas; EUR = 800 MMCF of gas

Early wells in Warwick Twp: EURave = 440 to 490 MMCF of gas
