Paper: Field Study and Stimulation Approach Conger (Penn) Field Sterling County, Texas

With existing demands for oil and gas at continued higher prices, there has become a greater interest in previously uneconomical reservoirs. The Cisco and Canyon formations in Sterling County, Texas fall into this category. In particular, the Conger (Penn) area has enjoyed rapid and continuous development since 1977. Hydraulic fracturing has been required to stimulate for commercial production. Stimulation practices have been reviewed and a more efficient approach developed to provide maximum productivity at an optimum cost.
