Review of the rose run sandstone play of Ohio: Geological framework and exploration/production techniques, challenges, and opportunities. Topical report, April 1993-June 1993

OSTI ID:5395484
The purpose of the report is to highlight the current geological knowledge of the Rose Run play through both a review of the literature and discussions with eight Rose Run operators. The Upper Cambrian Rose Run sandstone of the Knox Group, which subcrops in eastern Ohio, currently forms the most active exploratory hydrocarbon play in the Appalachian Basin. The Rose Run has produced oil and gas since 1965, and exploration activities continue to grow rapidly. The structural configuration of the Appalachian Basin in eastern Ohio is dominated by deep-seated faults and folds that influenced both Rose Run deposition and diagenesis. The Rose Run comprises an interstratified siliciclastic/carbonate unit, typically 125 ft thick, deposited in peritidal to shallow-subtidal marine environments. Reservoirs of the Rose Run consist of quartzarenitic and subarkosic sandstone bodies, 10 to 30 ft thick. Dolomite forms the predominant sandstone cement and plays a fundamental role in reservoir permeability and porosity variations.
