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


Appendix T

North Jackson/Lordstown gas field (NJ/L)

Location: Trumbull (Lordstown Twp.) and Mahoning (Jackson Twp.) Counties, Ohio
Discovery date: 1963; most development began in 1972
Depth (ft): 4,300 to 4,900
Hydrocarbon type and GOR: Gas and local associated oil
Structural setting: Regional southeast-dipping homocline; minor terraces and anticlinal noses
Stratigraphic name of reservoir: "Clinton" sands; reservoirs consist of sandstone of distributary channel and offshore bar origin
Trap: Stratigraphic; no recognizable updip pinchout of sandstone reservoirs
Porosity: F ave = 7.8%, range 5.3 to 9.9%
Permeability: Kave = 8.55 mD
Natural fractures:  
Diagenetic features:  
Water saturation and volume/salinity of produced water: Sw (ave) = 20%
Gas/water and oil/water contacts:  
Reservoir pressure: 1,457 psi (0.34 psi/ft)
Bottom-hole temperature: 108° F
Well spacing: 40 acres
Ultimate production (EUR per well): 50th percentile (F50)=205 MMCF of gas; North Jackson field has produced ~175 BCF of gas through 1991, Lordstown field has produced ~131 BCF of gas through 1993
