Garfield Prospect, Lippelmann Field, Decatur County, Kansas

Abstract

The Lippelmann field is located in the east-central portion of Decatur County, Kansas. The initial test, the Murfin Drilling Company #1-16 Lippelmann, was drilled in August 1982. Development drilling began immediately after the discovery well, and the field was developed by September 1984. A total of five successful oil wells have been drilled in the Lippelmann field with production coming from the Pennsylvanian Oread, Lansing, and Pawnee-Cherokee formations. Production has been approximately 356,166 BO as of June 1992, with the ultimate recovery projected at 554,732 BO.
