The Dineh-bi-Keyah field on the Navajo Indian Reservation in NE. Apache County, Ariz., is producing from a porous and fractured primary igneous intrusive rock. Production first was established in the field with the completion of the Kerr-McGee No. 1 Navajo in Jan. 1967. As of Dec. 1967, 14 oil wells had been completed on 160-acre spacing and the field still was being developed. The initial potential of individual wells is as high as 3,300 bopd. Cumulative production to Jan. 1, 1968, was 2,815,205 bbl of oil. The field is at the NW. end of the Toadlena anticline, a NW.-SE.-trending surface feature on the NE. flank of the Defiance uplift. The sedimentary section penetrated in the field conforms with that which has been described in the geologic literature for the Defiance uplift and surrounding area. The sedimentary rocks range in age from Cambrian through Tertiary. Several Tertiary volcanic rock bodies are exposed at the surface. The production of Dineh-bi-Keyah is from a syenite sill which intruded Lower Pennsylvanian rocks. The sill is of Tertiary age and contains both intercrystalline and fracture porosity. (14 refs.)
