Heterogeneous deep-sea fan reservoirs, Shackelford and Preston waterflood units, Spraberry Trend, West Texas

Book ·
OSTI ID:7128950
This book discusses the geological characterization of reservoir and production attributes of the Shackelford and Preston waterflood units, southeastern Midland County, West Texas. These two units, which are operated by Mobil Producing Texas and New Mexico, are part of the Permian Spraberry Trend. Conventional reserves in the Spraberry are estimated to be almost 60 million barrels of oil, and more than 4 billion barrels of unproduced mobile oil remain, making the Spraberry a prime target for extended conventional recovery from untapped or poorly drained reservoir compartments. The authors determine the stratigraphy of the formation, map sand distribution trends, and determine from cores and logs the extent and composition of facies that compose the principal reservoir units.
