ABSTRACT
The Voshell field is described herein, beginning with its discovery in August, 1929, and ending with its second anniversary. The stratigraphy indicates that folding and faulting occurred chiefly in the pre-Marmaton, post-“Mississippi lime” time interval. Commercial production is found in three limestone and two sandstone formations. Oil and gas occur coincidentally with the anticlinal folding, with saturation co-extensive with measurable limits of closure. Water movement is from east to west in adjustment to volumetric replacement of oil withdrawals and appears to be the chief propulsive agent. Proration was enforced a year, ending February, 1931. On October 1, 1931, the field had produced 8,413 barrels per acre, with 10-acre spacing, from 104 wells, the daily average production being 135 barrels per well.
