This report presents the results of a study on part of the Smithfield oil field, Wetzel County, W. Va. The primary purpose of the investigation was to determine the original and the present volume of stock-tank oil in the formations and to investigate the feasibility of waterflooding the Gordon Stray, Gordon, and Fourth sands underlying the I.D. Morgan lease. The study was based on laboratory core analyses, geophysical well logs, geologic considerations, and various field prediction data from the I.D. Morgan lease. The Bureau found that, of the 3 sands cored, the Gordon Sand was the best prospect for waterflooding, and that a properly engineered waterflood should recover 136 to 230 bbl of oil per acre-ft from this formation.
