History Of

The reflection seismograph surveys which led to the discovery of Wasco oil field were started in 1934. Some additional work was done to outline the structure in 1935. Subsequent to discovery in 1938 a detailed reflection seismograph survey was made for the purposes of aiding development and securing type seismograph data.

The Ten Section oil field, generally regarded as the first geophysical oil field discovery in the San Joaquin Valley of California, was found by Shell Oil Company, Incorporated by means of a reflection seismograph survey made in 1934–1935. The discovery well, Shell Oil Company, Incorporated’s K. C. L.-Stevens A-1, was completed in June, 1936. A map presenting results of reflection shooting before discovery and one from well data with contours on the top of the productive Upper Miocene “Stevens” sand are shown.

History Of

The North Coles Levee oil field was discovered in November 1938. The location for the discovery well was based on data obtained from a reflection seismograph survey run early in the same year. A contour map, based on these reflection data, was prepared after several months of geophysical field work and interpretation. This map outlined the structure with reasonable accuracy as shown by comparing it with the present subsurface contour map constructed from electric‐log correlations in over one hundred wells which have been drilled in the field as of December 1946.

In 1951, the French Government granted an exclusive exploration permit to the Esso R.E.P. (a Standard Oil Company affiliate) over an area of 4,357,980 acres around Bordeaux in the northern part of the Aquitaine Basin, France. This area was investigated first by surface geology; then it was surveyed by the gravity meter. In checking the gravity anomalies by the reflection seismograph, a subsurface structure was found at Parentis in 1953, which was drilled in 1954, and was proved to be oil bearing. The Parentis oil field is the most important oil field, not only in France, but in all Europe outside the Iron Curtain. Gravity map, seismograph map, seismic profiles, telluric map and geological contour maps, and cross sections of the Parentis structure are presented.

The Good oil field, located in the southwestern part of Borden County, Texas, became a reef oil producer in April, 1949. The discovery well was drilled subsequent to a seismic program along a suspected reef trend. The discovery was made without benefit of reef reflections, and was based only on maps showing Permian draping. This technique offers interesting comparisons between seismic and subsurface data.

The results of a gravity meter survey of the Fort Collins field, Larimer County, Colorado, both before and after elimination of regional effects, is presented together with subsequent seismograph and subsurface studies which led to the development of a small northward extension of the Fort Collins oil field. Other geophysical work in the area is reviewed.
