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 D

Carbon Hill oil field (CH)

Location: Hocking County, Ohio (Ward Twp.)
Discovery date: 1917
Depth (ft): 3,050
Hydrocarbon type and GOR: Oil and associated gas; GOR = 400 to 7,000, based on 2 wells
Structural setting: Regional southeast dipping homocline with local anticlinal noses
Stratigraphic name of reservoir: "Clinton" sands; best producing wells in sandstone reservoirs of distributary and tidal channel origin
Trap: Stratigraphic
Porosity: F ave = 10.3%, range 1 to 15%
Permeability: Kave = 3.9 mD, range 1 to 10 mD
Natural fractures: Oriented core indicates a well-developed natural fracture system oriented N55° E to N75° E
Diagenetic features: Local secondary silica cementation; dominant cement is calcite, clay may have prevented excessive silica cementation
Water saturation and volume/salinity of produced water: Sw (ave, core, producing interval) = 36.4%, Sw (ave, log, producing interval) = 33%, Sw (ave, core, total interval) = 62.1%, range 20 to 100%; salinity = 200,000 to 300,000 ppm
Gas/water and oil/water contacts:  
Reservoir pressure:  
Bottom-hole temperature:  
Well spacing: 20 acres per oil well; 80 acres per gas well
Ultimate production (EUR per well):
