this is the first strike. He expects
several offset wells to be drilled
quickly following the Lsmmon
strike, which was made by a
Hassie Hunt drustee) unit. "Off-
sets" will be largely twin wells.
since the Woodruff sand. in which
the first Tinsley field oil was
struck. produces in the same area.
He explained that twin wells"
are two wells in the same drilling
unit or space, but two different
pools.
In Tinsley field, Mr.. Morse ex-
planned, there are six separate
producing sand formations, or
pools, or reservoirs: but since the
field has several bad faults or
splits beneath the surface, all six
do not produce all over the field.
In one area, for instance. only
the Woodruff sand produces;
while a few yards away - be-
yond a fault-several other sands
produce below the Woodruff pool.
1T is Just like having six oil
fields, one on top of the other"
MI. Morse explained. with each
pool or reservoir being a field in
itself. While some of the early
wells in the field were allowed
to produce from more than one
pool. most of them are drilled to
a specific pool; then If another
pool is known to be under the
area. a twin well may be drilled"
Woodruff sand is the shallow
est of the six reservoirs all over
the field; below it are the Perry,
Stevens. Lammon, Powell and
McGraw sands, all found in some
' parts of the overall Tinslev field.
