ABSTRACT
The Keokuk pool, which is located in Seminole and Pottawatomie counties, about 10 miles north of the town of Seminole, Oklahoma, in Ts. 10 N., R. 6 E., is unique in that it was the first pool in Oklahoma to maintain reservoir pressures through voluntary restriction in the rate of production. It is located in one of the few areas where the Misener sand is of sufficient thickness to afford good reservoir conditions.
The structure of the Keokuk pool is anticlinal and is faulted on the east side. This area was probably affected by at least three periods of structural adjustment, but the one which is probably the chief cause of the faulting and folding in the Keokuk pool occurred in early Pennsylvanian or late Mississippian time.
From 106 wells producing from the Misener sandstone and the Hunton limestone the pool has produced 6,362,224 barrels of oil to January, 1938. This is equivalent to 60,021 barrels per well on a basis of 20-acre spacing covering practically all of the productive area. A final recovery of 8,000 barrels of oil per acre is anticipated.
