| Located along the leading edge of the Marathon-Ouachita overthrust in Val Verde basin, the Pakenham field produces mostly from prograding Permian-aged basin floor submarine fans. The primary reservoir rocks of these Wolfcampian sequences are sandstones. These sandstones are derived from the overthrusted rocks to the southwest of the field (Montgomery, 1991). The primary drilling target within the Permian is designated as A2 Wolfcamp, with the secondary targets of the A1 and A3 Wolfcamp. These reservoirs typically produce natural gas with minor amounts of condensate and water. Using petrophysical analysis along with computer modeling recompletion, deepening, and new drilling opportunities were identified. The A1 has eight recompletions identified, the A2 has new drilling areas identified in nine sections, and the A3 has two recompletion, 12 deepening, and new drilling areas in three sections. |
