+++ Geology
- Gas is produced from the Leman Sandstone Formation of Early Permian age. The reservoir section is comprised predominantly of stacked aeolian dune sands possessing excellent poroperm characteristics. The structure is a complex NW-SE trending horst block with a common gas-water contact at 8904 ft TVDss. Low structural relief has presented a major challenge to field development, which has utilized extended reach wells to maximize drainage potential
