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


Appendix Q

Logan oil field (Lo)

Location: Hocking County, Ohio (Green and Falls Twps.)
Discovery date: 1939
Depth (ft): 2,700 to 2,800
Hydrocarbon type and GOR: Oil and associated gas; GOR = 800, based on 3 wells
Structural setting: Regional southeast dipping homocline; minor anticlinal noses
Stratigraphic name of reservoir: "Clinton" sands; best producing wells in sandstone reservoirs of deltaic and offshore-bar origin
Trap: Stratigraphic
Porosity: F ave(core) = 13.9%, range 11 to 19.6%
Permeability: Kave(core) = 67.9 mD, range 4.5 to 349.3 mD
Natural fractures:  
Diagenetic features: Quartz grains are locally clay coated and cemented with silica and carbonate (dolomite and ankerite)
Water saturation and volume/salinity of produced water: Sw (ave, core, producing interval) = 27.3%, range 8.3 to 62.7%; water and oil are produced in nearly equal amounts—one well produced 60 BW per day; 1,200 BW/MMCFG, based on 3 wells; Salinityave = 240,760 ppm, range 165,063 to 288,701 ppm, sample number = 3; salinity = 160,000 to 185,000 ppm also reported
Gas/water and oil/water contacts:  
Reservoir pressure: Original pressure (estimated) ~ 1,250 psi (~0.44 psi/ft); 600 psi in August 1962; 960 psi (0.36 psi/ft) also reported
Bottom-hole temperature: 80°F
Well spacing: 20 to 40 acres
Ultimate production (EUR per well): Three wells produced 24,251 BO, 20 MMCF of gas, and 24,251 BW from Dec. 1960 to Jan. 1963; EUR (one well) = 13,200 BO; Ultimate oil in place ~48.5 MMBO/8000 acres, 5 to 25% is recoverable
