Information Circular 107 There is currently one producing well in the Mt. Carmel field. As of the end of 1989, the field had produced 4,666,000 barrels of oil (Appendix 2). MCLELLAN FIELD McLellan field was discovered on February 15, 1986, with the initial testing of the Exxon Corporation State of Florida number 33-1 (permit 1194, Appendix 1, Figures 3 and 17). The well is located about 3.25 miles north of the abandoned Sweetwater Creek field in Section 33, Township 6 North, Range 26 West, Santa Rosa County. An initial flowing test of the discovery well produced 152 barrels of 410 A.P.I. gravity oil per day and no saltwater. Production is from Smackover Formation dolostones from -13,827 to -13,845 feet MSL (Figure 18). Core analysis of a potential oil and gas productive zone from -13,819 to -13,845 feet MSL by Core Laboratories, Inc. (Dallas, Texas) indicated a mean porosity of 12.3 percent. The analysis showed additional oil and gas production potential between -13,854 and -13,863 feet MSL. Mean porosity is about 15 percent for this zone. Both of the analyzed zones contained dark, fine grained, microcrystalline dolostones with vuggy porosity. McLellan field is located within the area known to be underlain by the Louann Salt and may have a salt-related trap structure. It is also located within a few miles of the approximate updip limits of the Smackover Formation (Lloyd, 1989; Applegate et al., 1978; Ottman et al., 1973, 1976); thus, the trap could be a stratigraphic pinchout. Current data does not reveal which trap mechanism produced the Smackover reservoir for this field. The first offset and confirmation well for the field was the Exxon Corporation State of Florida number 34-2 (permit 1206). It is located about one-half mile east of the discovery well (Figure 17). It was tested on March 9, 1987 and flowed 641 barrels of 43.40 A.P.I. gravity oil and 24 barrels of saltwater per day. The Smackover Formation was encountered at -13,788 feet MSL, 27 feet higher than in the discovery well (Figure 18). Production is from the Smackover Formation from -13,797 to -13,847 feet MSL. Core analysis by All Points, Inc. (Houston, Texas) yielded a mean porosity of 11.5 percent for the productive zone. A second offset to the discovery well, Exxon Corporation State of Florida number 28-4 (permit 1226) was drilled about one-half mile north of the discovery well (Figure 17). During initial production tests, in February 1988, the well flowed 154 barrels of oil (gravity not reported) and 171 barrels of saltwater per day. The Smackover was encountered 42 feet higher in this well than in the discovery well (Figure 17), indicating a fairly steep gradient between these wells. Operations at the second offset well were suspended in March 1988 and the well has since been temporarily abandoned. As of December 1989, production for McLellan field was from the two remaining wells and totaled 174,000 barrels of oil (Appendix 2). SWEETWATER CREEK FIELD Sweetwater Creek field was discovered on April 22, 1977, with the successful flow test of the Houston Oil and Minerals Corporation W. M. Stokes number 15-2 well (permit 881, Appendix 1, Figures 3 and 17). The well is located in Section 15, Township 5 North, Range 26 West, Santa Rosa County. In the initial test the well produced 624 barrels of 43.50 A.P.I. gravity oil and only a trace of saltwater from a Smackover limestone interval from -14,044 to -14,085 feet MSL. This test data spurred rumors that a "new Jay" field had been discovered. Rumors proved to be false and an offset drilled in 1978 to the south of the discovery well was dry (permit 890, Figure 17). Core analyses of the Smackover Formation in the offset well by Core Laboratories, Inc. (Dallas, Texas) indicated very fine
