Abstract:
A detailed study of the geometry and an understanding of the mechanics of entrapment are essential to unravel the complexities of the Panhandle-Hugoton field.
The reservoir in the Panhandle-Hugoton field is usually considered to be rocks of Wolfcamp age. Gas and oil appear to have migrated from Pennsylvanian marine shales in the Anadarko basin through granite wash into the Panhandle field.
The trap is primarily structural in the Panhandle field, and stratigraphic in the Hugoton field, with a hydrodynamic component in both.
Red Cave reservoirs above the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian reservoirs below the Wolfcamp usually are not considered to be a part of the Panhandle-Hugoton field pay. It is the writer's opinion, however, that these reservoirs could be considered to be Panhandle-Hugoton field pays, because they appear to have had the same source areas, initial pressure, and similar water contacts.
