This report analyzes the petroleum-production potential of the basal Greenbrier dolomite zone, Sycamore-Millstone Field, Sherman District, Calhoun County, W. Va., through the application of certain secondary-recovery methods. The well logs obtained and the core recovered from a well in this formation permitted an evaluation of the productive capability of the reservoir. Approximately 120,000 STB (stock tank bbl) of oil may be produced from a 20-acre, 5-spot unit at breakthrough if the property is waterflooded. At an assumed limiting producing gas-oil ratio of 20,000 scf/STB, approximately 69,000 STB of oil should be recovered by low-pressure gas drive. (17 refs.)
