Abstract
Tip Top Field, Wyoming
Abstract
The Tip Top field of western Wyoming has two wells producing Oil from the Nugget sandstone of Jurassic age and several outlying shut in gas wells potential of production from the Cretaceous Frontier formation. Daily oil production amounts to approximately 300 barrels from a depth of 10,000 feet. Gas wells have an average capacity of 2,000,000 cubic feet per day in the 7,000-foot depth range.
Oil is trapped in the upper fractured portion of the Nugget sandstone on the upthrown side of a thrust fault. Frontier formation gas production is localized in both upthrown and basin blocks on the anticlinal fold.
Low pressure, high volume gas production in the Tip Top Shallow and Big Piney gas fields is from lenticular sandstones in the Tertiary Wasatch formation.
