Title: Ramsey Oil Pool, Payne County, Oklahoma

Author(s): V. L. Frost (2)

Abstract:

The Ramsey oil pool, located 6 miles southwest of Stillwater, Payne County, Oklahoma, was discovered in 1938. Interesting surface faulting and core-drill data instigated geophysical prospecting in this area and led to the discovery of the pool. The subsurface structure is a flat-topped, steeply dipping, almost circular, faulted dome with 130 feet of pre-Pennsylvanian truncation.

The producing formation, the First "Wilcox" sand, is a member of the Simpson group of Ordovician age, and has a vertical producing range of 189 feet.

The pool has a proved area of 390 acres and has produced 2,703,013 barrels of oil to June 1,1940, which gives an average of 6,931 barrels per proved acre. The present daily allowable is 3,800 barrels from 38 producing wells. The Mid-Continent Petroleum Corporation operates 36 wells, the only other operator being the Stanolind Oil and Gas Company with two wells.
