Case history of the Seven Rivers Sand Waterflood, Crockett County, Texas
The Noelke Field is located approximately 6 1/2 miles SE of Iraan in Crockett County, Texas. The field covers some 2760 proven productive acres with an estimated 1300 acres being oil-productive and the remainder being high enough structurally to carry gas saturation. This report covers only the southern segment. The Noelke field produces from the Seven Rivers sand of the Permian System. The sand is found at depths ranging from 1006 to 1756 ft from the surface. Illustrations show field location, gas cap and oil segments, structure of the southern segment, isopachs, production history of the southern segment, and the injection pattern. Initial water injection was realized on Nov. 17, 1957, with all wells taking water readily at zero pressure. Initial flood response was detected in the first well in July 1958, or 8 months after initial injection. The response was positive and significant, reaching 75 bbl oil per day and no water in a month. Production rapidly increased during all of 1959 and reached a peak rate of 2580 bbl in Jan. 1960. Production declined mildly thereafter, and reached a level of 401 bbl during Dec. 1962, then gradually declined thereafter through 1964 to the economic limit. This shallow waterflood project proved highly successful.
