Book excerpt: This research evaluated the depositional settings of the upper Smackover Formation in southwestern Clarke County (SCC), Mississippi and compared its facies to those of the Brooklyn and Little Cedar Creek Fields (BF/LCC) in Conecuh and Escambia Counties, Alabama. The Smackover Formation has been a prolific oil producing formation in the Gulf of Mexico since its discovery in Union County, Arkansas in 1937. The discovery of the LCC in 1994 and the BF in 2007 has generated additional interest in the Smackover. The BF/ LCC occur near the updip limit of the Upper Jurassic (Oxfordian) Smackover Formation. These fields produce from oolitic/ oolmoldic stratigraphically trapped reservoirs in the upper Smackover Formation. In SCC, the Smackover extends farther updip than in the BF/LCC. SCC also has several small oil fields that have produced from the Smackover Formation since 1976. This research used resistivity well logs and core analyses of SCC fields and selected four fields with the most oolites and therefore, the highest potential for similarity to production in the BF/LCC. The resistivity logs and core analyses of these four fields were used to construct structure contour maps and cross-sections for each field, illustrating the Smackover facies in the region. Higher resolution resistivity logs and core analyses from the BF/LCC were also used to construct cross sections of that area. Lithofacies and logfacies were defined for the research and used to compare the BF/LCC and SCC. Interpretation of the cross sections and maps showed that the BF/LCC and SCC have similar depositional settings and also similar lithofacies/depositional sequence. The difference between the study areas are: a lack of mudstones lithofacies in the BF/LCC; differences in thickness of the upper Smackover and; differences in logfacies. The BF/LCC and SCC have substantial similarities in their depositional environment and sequence with the East Nancy field in SCC showing the most similarities to the BF/LCC.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Smackover Formation is a highly productive producer of hydrocarbons throughout the United States Gulf Coast region. More than four million barrels of oil and five billion cubic feet of gas have been produced from the Smackover Formation in the Barnett Field in southwest Alabama. Paleohighs formed during the Paleozoic and salt tectonic relief features control sediment distribution of the Smackover Formation in southwest Alabama. The Smackover in Barnett Field is entirely dolomitized, but the carbonate texture at the time of deposition is still visible in thin section. The Smackover carbonates in Barnett Field were deposited in the near-shore area of a carbonate ramp environment. The Smackover may be divided into three lithologic facies in this area; an ooid grainstone, oncolite packstone, and algal mudstone. Smackover deposition is interpreted to represent a period of eustatic sea level rise. Modern interpretations suggest the Smackover may have been deposited in three sequences. The Smackover in Barnett Field appears to represent a single stratigraphic sequence. The distribution of the three Smackover facies in Barnett Field suggests the formation was deposited during a sea level highstand following a rapid sea level rise. Accommodation of Smackover sediment led to a relative shallowing of the near-shore environment. The shallowing caused a prograding infilling pattern into the basin. The Smackover facies correlate to characteristic porosity and permeability values making the ability to predict the occurrence of a single facies vital to petroleum exploration.
