Gas Production from Tight Sandstones
of Permo-Pennsylvanian Age,
Val Verde Basin, TexasBy
During the past five years more than 1900 wells have been
drilled in a End_of_Record - Last_Page 3---------------tight quartz sandstone of Permo-Pennsylvanian
age in the Val Verde Basin of Texas. This active play
encompasses parts of Sutton, Schleicher, Crockett, Edwards,
Val Verde, and Terrell counties. These wells have
already proven the existence of major gas
reserves which
have the potential to develop into the "giant" category, given
a favorable economic climate. This is a somewhat unique
play in that the exploration wildcat success has averaged
about 50%, with development well success averaging around
80%.
