The Formulation of a Development Strategy for a Rodessa Gas Play in Eastern Desoto Parish, Louisiana

Russell B. Hennessey (1), Victoria Provenza (2)

ABSTRACT

A study of the Lower Cretaceous Bacon Limestone (First Rodessa Porosity) on the eastern edge of DeSoto Parish, northern Louisiana, involving thin-section study, and the correlation of conventional core analysis with resistivity log data, has led to the successful differentiation of two distinct sedimentary units.

Paleostructural isopaching coupled with standard isopaching of the sedimentary units has led to a more complete understanding of the depositional geometry and entrapping mechanism(s) of the pay interval (Zone A).

The Bacon Limestone of the Rodessa Formation is productive in a number of fields in DeSoto Parish and the surrounding areas. The techniques and strategies submitted in this paper may aid in the more successful development of existing plays and in the exploration for new fields.
