The DOW-DOE No. 1 Leroy Sweezy geopressured test well was drilled to a depth of 13,600 feet in Parcperdue Field, near Lafayette. The object Cibicides Jeffersonensis reservoir is isolated vertically by shale and limited laterally by well defined faulting. The limited size of the reservoir will allow significant pressure depletion over a production period of several months. The Cibicides Jeffersonensis represents a barrier bar environment of deposition and the bounding shales are of marine origin. The sand is highly porous, permeable and relatively unconsolidated. The sand and underlying shale interval were logged and cored. Core studies include lithological description, rock mechanical properties, porosity and permeability, sieve analysis, thin-section petrography, scanning-electron micrography and organic geochemistry of the shale.
