permeability in some sections. Dolomitization in
the lower units of the upper Sunniland, however,
enhanced both porosity and permeability
(Mitchell-Tapping, 1985).
 A total of 25 producing wells have been drilled
at Bear Island field; seven of these were active at
the end of 1989 (Appendix 3). Total oil
production, through December 1989, was
10,575,000 barrels (Appendix 2).


 PEPPER HAMMOCK FIELD

 Pepper Hammock field was discovered on
September 28, 1978. The discovery well, the
Exxon Corporation Collier Company number
23-1 well (permit 897) is located in Section 23,
Township 29 South, Range 30 East,
approximately one and one-half miles south of
Bear Island field (Figure 1). The initial production
test yielded 20 barrels of 270 A.P.I. gravity oil and
206 barrels of saltwater per day. Production was
from Sunniland limestones between -11,586 and
-11,590 feet MSL. The discovery well is the only
well at Pepper Hammock and is shut-in. A total
of 323 barrels of oil were produced before the
well was shut-in in October 1978 (Appendix 2).


 BAXTER ISLAND FIELD

 Baxter Island field is a one-well, abandoned
 field located approximately eight miles southeast
 of Bear Island field (Figure 1). The single
 producer and discovery well was the Diamond
 Shamrock Gerry Brothers Ltd. number 31-3 well
 (permit 865) located in Section 31, Township 49
 South, Range 32 East, Collier County. In its
 initial production test on August 11, 1977, the
 well pumped 35 barrels of 22.4 A.P.I. gravity oil
 and 220 barrels of saltwater per day. Production
 was from the Sunniland Formation from -11,482
 to -11,485 feet MSL. The field produced a total
 of 1,859 barrels of oil before the well was shut-in
 in 1978 (Appendix 2). The well was plugged and
 abandoned on January 12, 1980.


 RACCOON POINT FIELD

 Raccoon Point field is the southeastern-most
active field in the Sunniland trend (Figure 1). Its
discovery well was the Exxon -Oleum
Corporation number 33-4 (permit 829) drilled in
Section 33, Township 51 South, Range 43 East,
Collier County (Figure 24). Initial production was
from the -11,371 to -11,375 foot MSL interval of
the Sunniland Formation. In a production test on
June 20, 1978, the well pumped 57 barrels of
23.30 A.P.I. gravity oil and 845 barrels of
saltwater per day.
 Figure 24 is a preliminary structure map for
Raccoon Point field. The map indicates an
elongated series of small highs trending north-
south. The limits of the field are still not
completely defined since no dry holes have been
drilled at Raccoon Point to date. A total of 15
producing wells have been drilled, one during
1989 (Appendix 4).
 At the end of 1989, 12 of the 15 wells were
 active (Appendix 3). Oil production totaled
 4,444,000 barrels at the end of December 1989
 (Appendix 2).


 FORTY MILE BEND FIELD

 Commonwealth Oil Company drilled the
 Wiseheart State Board of Education number 1
 wildcat (permit 167) in Section 16, Township 45
 South, Range 35 East, Dade County. It was
 located 50 miles southeast of Sunniland field
 (Figure 1). The well was completed in the
 -11,298 to -11,315 foot MSL interval of the
 Sunniland Formation and was initially tested on
 February 5, 1954. In this initial test, the well
 pumped an estimated 76 barrels of 21.30 A.P.I.
 gravity oil and 96 barrels of saltwater per day.
 Core examination (Applegate and Lloyd, 1985) in
 the open interval showed a partially to fully oil-
 saturated, finely crystalline dolostone and
 limestone with pin-point porosity, which did not
 appear to be commercial.
