The producing formation in the East Texas Field is the Upper Cretaceous Woodbine Sandstone. Regionally the field is on the western flank of the Sabine uplift, which controlled the deposition of the Woodbine Sandstone and the accumulation of oil in the field. The accumulation of oil is due to updip pinchout of the sandstone. The western limit of the field is defined by an oil-water contact at a subsea depth of approximately 3,320 ft. The pool is 44.32 miles long and 4.94 miles wide, and covers approximately 140,000 acres. The average net effective sandstone thickness is approximately 35 ft ranging from 1 to 102 ft. East Texas Field has produced 3,860,000,000 bbl of oil to Jan. 1, 1968, and has an estimated remaining recoverable reserve of approximately 2,000,000,000 bbl. The oil currently is selling for $3.15 per bbl in the field. The oil, gas, and liquid products produced from the field have an accumulated value of about $10,000,000,000.
