Abstract
South Sarepta Field (Smackover Gray Sand) Bossier and Webster Parishes, Louisiana
Luther F. Ellison, Martin Russo (1)
ABSTRACT
The South Sarepta field is located in northeastern Bossier Parish and northwestern Webster Parish, Louisiana, about 10 miles south of the Arkansas-Louisiana boundary. The Gray Sand, a member of the Smackover Formation of Jurassic age, has been known to be gas-bearing for some time in this field. However, it was not until the advent of modern fracturing techniques and a significant rise in the price of natural gas that this formation was capable of sustaining commercial gas production.
The main portion of this paper is not a geological discussion of the field but rather an account of the engineering developments which have made commercial gas production possible from the Gray Sand. As a result, these techniques have made available a major new source of gas reserves in North Louisiana.
