Roland SE Field, Rush County, Kansas

Abstract

Roland SE field is located in the northwest portion of Rush County, Kansas (fig. 1). Although the field was discovered in 1968, it was not effectively developed until 1988. At the present time, there are 10 producing wells at Roland SE. Production is from the Cambrian-Ordovician Arbuckle Group with the exception of one well, Baldwin #1-36, which produces from the Pennsylvanian Lansing Group (fig. 2). Ultimate recovery at Roland SE is projected to be 444,000 BO, with the average well producing 44,000 BO.

The Arbuckle dolomite is an excellent reservoir at Roland SE field, as illustrated by 6 ft of Arbuckle core from the House #3-36. Measured porosities average 23.7% while the average permeability is 1,540.7 millidarcies.
