Abstract: Commander Field: Case Study of a Gas Productive Landsat and Geochemical Anomaly, Parker County, Texas

William T. Crowder Jr.

Landsat data for a mature area of southern Parker County were analyzed for structural anomalies and lineaments in order to determine the relationship of these data to gas production and the possible fracturing of Atoka sand reservoirs. Interstitial soil gas data gathered over a 160 acre tract revealed a strong surface anomaly situated at the intersection of two lineaments. The drilling of this anomaly resulted in gas production from a Bend conglomerate and excellent Previous HitmudlogTop shows of gas from shallower sands in the Atoka and Strawn intervals. A subsequent offset well, located within the original surface soil gas anomaly, also proved gas productive in the shallow Strawn interval. Well data from the productive gas zones are discussed in relation to local stratigraphy and stru ture. The limitations and advantages of Landsat/soil gas data are considered in terms of future applicability to other mature areas.
