Testing data relationships in the Mississippi Lime

摘要

A 3-D survey area provides a practical test that, when validated with reservoir knowledge, could be helpful in identifying prospective trends. Production from the Mississippian extends from the south-central region of eastern Colorado through southwestern Kansas and northern Oklahoma, generally considered the "sweet spot" for current production along trend. As with many conventional and all unconventional plays, the factors controlling production are multiple and are not always easily quantified. One common challenge of this trend remains excessive water cut and the increasingly negative impact it has on the economics of the play as well as water disposal restrictions.
