Abstract

Washington Field in central St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, was discovered by Sohio in January 1952 and had produced to cessation in mid-1990’s a total of 330 BCFG + 38 MMBL from upper Wilcox, Cockfield “B” and “D” sand intervals, and multiple thin pays in the shallower Oligocene middle-Frio sands section.  All original production was spread over 8,000-plus productive acres. 

The established mid-Frio sands section between -6,800’ to -7,900’± ss contains at least 10 to possibly 12 thin oil-productive sand levels, and these had already accounted for 16 MMBO plus 35 BCFG plus large amounts of salt water (re-injected) produced by the mid-1990’s.  All mid-Frio oil came from very-gentle, low-relief, 20 to 80+ acre closures arrayed West-to-East along length of the axial crest of the structurally simple Washington Field Rollover Anticline and downthrown to the regional Washington Field Fault.  ...
