Abstract:
The Goldsmith field is on the Central Basin platform near the middle of the West Texas producing district. The limits of the pool have not been fully defined although active drilling has been going on for nearly two years.
The Goldsmith structure is a very large, compound uplift which has grown by repeated movement during all geologic epochs since deposition of the producing formation.
The oil and gas reservoir is a widespread, porous zone 400 feet below the top of the main Permian dolomite. An enormous volume of free gas occupies the upper part of this reservoir and rests on the body of oil which is 60-100 feet thick and occurs at a nearly constant subsea depth throughout the pool. Sulphur water is below and in contact with the oil in most parts of the pool. Porosity of this reservoir is believed to have been developed by subaerial erosion and solution.
