An Examination
of the Structure and Stratigraphy in the Southern
Sabine Uplift
Phillips, Chad TJ1 (1) Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA
Research on the structure and stratigraphy of reservoirs in eastern Texas around the Sabine
Uplift is vast. Fewer have focused on the southern portion of the Sabine
Uplift, south of fields such as the Carthage Cotton Valley Gas Field and the
East Texas Field. The field area examined with-in is located in Shelby County,
TX in the southern part of the Sabine Uplift and just south of the Mount
Enterprise Fault Zone. With the use of donated 3D seismic and well log data,
the structure and stratigraphy of the area is
identified and examined. This examination allows a comparison of how this area
evolved structurally and stratigraphically opposed to
hydrocarbon fields to the north, as well as, determines how much an impact
hydrocarbon migration played. Integrating the 3D seismic and well log data to
help identify structures is key, and allows
comparisons to be made between these reservoirs and previous work done on the
larger reservoirs to the north.
