Geologic Controls On Oil And Gas Accumulation And Production From Missourian Stage Granite Wash Reservoirs In The Western Anadarko Basin, Wheeler County, Texas, Derrell Mathis

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Up-to-date regional and local Granite Wash data of any form is either too scarce to reference or highly privatized by exploration and production companies operating in the region. The objective of this research is to correlate horizontal production data with mapped depositional trends from Upper Pennsylvanian (Missourian Stage) Granite Wash reservoirs in the Western Anadarko Basin in northeastern Wheeler County, Texas. The correlation of raster logs to define various trap type and geometries in Missourian Granite Wash reservoirs of Wheeler County, Texas is used to understand the geologic controls on oil and gas accumulation and production. The analysis includes detailed …
