The Sweet Lake Prospect is located in a basin southeast of Lake Charles, Louisiana. The prospective sand is the Miogypsinoides (Miogyp) sand of the Frio Formation of Upper Oligocene age, which is found at a depth of 15,000 to 15,640' in the test well. Poriosity and permeability in one of the sands in the sequence are 24% and 3600 md, respectively. Sands are medium to fine grained and consist of 75% quartz, 19% feldspar, and 6% clays. The cementing material is quartz overgrowth; the clays are very fine hairs present in the pore spaces. Initial reservoir conditions are 299/sup 0/F and 12,060 psi. Salinity of the brine is 140,000 ppM, and the gas content is 11 to 13 SCF/B.
