ABSTRACT

Drill-stem test (DST) data were compiled from wildcat wells and DOE-

sponsored wells in the Palo Duro Basin area of Texas and New Mexico. The

data were used to construct pressure-depth diagrams and to map regional

potentiometric surfaces, based on equivalent freshwater heads calculated

from initial shut-in pressures of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian brine

aquifers, the two regionally important deep-basin aquifers downgradient of

the proposed repository host rock. Eighty percent of the 5,502 DSTs were

screened from the data base containing DST data from various deep-basin

geologic units because they did not comply with shut-in time and shut-in

pressure agreement criteria. After screening, three sets of pressure-depth

diagrams and potentiometric surfaces were constructed, corresponding to

three levels of data refinement.

The initial Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian regional potentiometric

surfaces, representing their present configuration, contained several local

prominent mounds and depressions with unrealistic variations in flow

directions and hydraulic gradients. Evaluation of pressure-depth data and

oil and gas production data showed that many of the DSTs were performed in

depressured oil and/or gas production zones, where formation pressures were

reduced due to extraction of formation fluids. The low shut-in pressures

recorded in these tests caused abnormally low heads to be calculated and

contoured. Formation pressures recorded in these depressured zones

represent local temporal pressures in a regional flow system that is

probably steady state. Deletion of depressured DSTs produced

potentiometric surfaces of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian aquifers prior to

oil and gas production, but still contained a few local prominent mounds

and depressions caused by local aberrant DST data. Elimination of local

grossly overpressured and grossly underpressured DST data, based on

comparison of initial shut-in pressures and heads at a similar depth in the

same geologic unit in the same well and/or adjacent wells, further refined

the potentiometric surfaces. These surfaces probably closely approximate

the regional configuration of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian potentiometric

surfaces prior to oil and gas production. Statistical analysis of the

culling procedures showed that most of the refinement in the Wolfcamp and

Pennsylvanian data sets was due to culling depressured DSTs. Some

additional refinement was due to culling local grossly underpressured and

grossly overpressured DSTs.

Although almost all the DST data in the study area are underpressured

relative to the range of probable hydrostatic pressure gradients, formation

pressures measured in wells located on the High Plains are far more

underpressured than formation pressures measured in wells located on the

Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the depth from the

ground surface, across the High Plains/Rolling Plains escarpment, to

potentiometric levels in the deep-basin strata. When the Wolfcamp and

Pennsylvanian pressure-depth data are normalized to common hypothetical

planes that eliminate the effect of measuring depth from varying

topographic elevations, the underpressuring of High Plains and Rolling

Plains data is similar. Normalizing the data to common planes also makes

identification of abnormally pressured data more obvious because

differences in topographic elevation are eliminated.

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report presents the methods, results, and interpretations of

hydrogeologic investigations based on drill-stem tests (DSTs) performed in

the Palo Duro Basin area of Texas and New Mexico. The primary objective is

to produce regional potentiometric surfaces of the Wolfcamp Series and the

Pennsylvanian System, the two regionally important downgradient aquifers

that underlie the proposed repository host rock. The potentiometric

surfaces will be used to evaluate flow patterns, to determine flow

velocities, to aid in the development of a conceptual hydrodynamic model of

the deep-basin flow system, and to serve as a basis for calibration of

numerical flow models.

The report covers an area extending westward from the Palo Duro Basin

in northern Texas, across the Tucumcari Basin in eastern New Mexico, and

into the recharge area of the deep-basin flow system in east-central New

Mexico along the eastern flank of the Pedernal Uplift and the Sierra Grande

Uplift. In another report, the study area will be extended eastward across

north-central Texas into the reported discharge area of the deep-basin flow

system in south-central Oklahoma (Levorsen, 1967).

A screening process and classification system were devised and used to

evaluate the quality of DST data obtained from wildcat wells and DOE-

sponsored wells. The purpose of this system was to eliminate dubious data

from improperly run tests, incomplete shut-in pressure and shut-in time

records, poorly calibrated or malfunctioning equipment, and misreported

results. Shut-in time and shut-in pressure agreement criteria were devised

and used to delete tests that were run for such a short time that pressure

equilibrium probably could not be approached and to delete tests that

obviously did not approach pressure equilibrium. Approximately 20 percent

of the 5,502 DSTs performed in 1,971 wells were considered usable for the

purposes of this hydrogeologic investigation.

The various geologic units were grouped into three major

hydrostratigraphic units which maintain their hydrologic importance

throughout the region. The shallowest of these units is a freshwater

aquifer system primarily developed in the Tertiary Ogallala Formation and

the Triassic Dockum Group. The intermediate hydrostatigraphic-unit is an

Upper Permian shale and evaporite aquitard and separates the shallow

Page 16: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

2

freshwater flow system from the deep-basin hydrostratigraphic unit which

consists primarily of the Lower Permian Wolfcamp Series and the

Pennsylvanian System, which contain brine aquifers.

Regional potentiometric surfaces of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian

aquifers were constructed using equivalent freshwater heads calculated from

initial shut-in pressures (ISIPs) from DSTs. Initial potentiometric

surfaces were constructed using all the screened Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian

data. These maps represent the present configuration of the Wolfcamp and

Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces and contain several local prominent

mounds and depressions with several thousand feet of relief. On a regional

scale, the configuration of these potentiometric surfaces was not

considered reasonable due to the dramatic local variations in flow

directions and hydraulic gradients.

Consequently, pressure-depth data from DSTs performed in the deep-basin

strata were analyzed. This analysis showed that almost all the DSTs are

underpressured relative to the range of probable hydrostatic pressure

gradients and that many DSTs are grossly underpressured. Heads calculated

from the grossly underpressured data produced the depressions on the

initial potentiometric surfaces. Further evaluation showed that almost all

the grossly underpressured data were obtained from DSTs performed in strata

that were depressured due to oil and gas extraction.

Formation pressures recorded in depressured zones are valid pressures

but represent local temporal pressures in a regional flow system that is

probably steady state. (The term "temporal pressure" is used instead of

"transient pressure" because the formation pressure may or may not be

transient with respect to the pumping stress.) A method was developed using

oil and gas production and field location data to identify DSTs performed

in depressured strata. As a result, 23 depressured DSTs were culled from

the Wolfcamp data set and 120 depressured DSTs were culled from the

Pennsylvanian data set. Deletion of depressured DSTs produced

potentiometric surfaces of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian aquifers that

represent flow conditions prior to oil and gas extraction. These surfaces

contained a few local prominent mounds and depressions caused by local

aberrant DST data, which on a regional scale were not considered

reasonable.

Page 17: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

Further refinement of the potentiometric surfaces to eliminate the

local aberrant data was achieved by culling 11 grossly underpressured and

9 grossly overpressured DSTs from the Wolfcamp data set and 10 grossly

underpressured and 24 grossly overpressured DSTs from the Pennsylvanian

data set. Culling was based on comparison of ISIPs and heads in the same

geologic unit at a similar depth in the same well and/or in adjacent wells.

Commonly these grossly underpressured and grossly overpressured data

produced heads 1,000 to 10,000 feet higher or lower than heads in the same

geologic unit in the same well or in adjacent wells at a slightly different

depth. The resulting regional potentiometric surfaces lack the local

prominent mounds and depressions but still preserve some local variations

in flow directions and hydraulic gradients. These maps are regarded as the

most reasonable representations of the regional Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian

potentiometric surfaces and represent their regional configurations prior

to oil and gas production.

Statistical analysis of the culling procedures, based on linear

regression of pressure-depth data and statistical comparisons of original

head values versus gridded head values, showed that most of the refinement

in the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian data sets was due to culling depressured

DSTs. Some additional refinement was due to culling a relatively small

number of local grossly underpressured and grossly overpressured DSTs.

Pressure-depth data showed that although almost all the deep-basin DST

data in the study area are underpressured with respect to the range of

probable hydrostatic pressure gradients, data from wells located on the

High Plains are far more underpressured than data from wells located on the

Rolling Plains. This probably is due to the greater depth from the ground

surface to potentiometric levels in the the deep-basin strata beneath the

High Plains compared to the Rolling Plains. This interpretation is based

on the marked difference between Y-intercepts of linear regression analyses

of pressure-depth data from the High Plains versus the Rolling Plains.

Using planar regression, hypothetical best-fit planes were derived for

the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian pressure-depth data which, when used as the

datum for measuring depth, maximized linear correlation between pressure

and depth. These planes minimize the scatter in the pressure-depth data

caused by variation in ground-surface elevation. The hypothetical plane

for Wolfcamp data slopes to the northeast. The hypothetical plane for

Pennsylvanian data south of the Amarillo Uplift also slopes to the

northeast but at a slightly steeper gradient. In contrast to the Y-

intercepts of linear regression lines from the nonnormalized High Plains

versus Rolling Plains data which showed a marked difference, the Y-

intercepts of linear regression lines from normalized High Plains versus

Rolling Plains data showed a marked similarity.

2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

This report presents the methods, results, and interpretations of

hydrogeologic investigations based on drill-stem tests (DSTs) performed in

the Palo Duro Basin area of Texas and New Mexico. The hydrogeologic

investigations are based on analysis of formation pressure data obtained

from DSTs performed in wildcat wells and DOE-sponsored wells. The methods

and techniques used in the hydrogeologic investigations are presented in

detail.

The basic results are in the form of potentiometric surfaces of the

Wolfcamp Series and the Pennsylvanian System, pressure-depth diagrams

showing formation pressures in various geologic units, and a master file of

geologic, hydrologic, and formation pressure data. The primary objective

of the study is to produce regional potentiometric surfaces of the Wolfcamp

and Pennsylvanian aquifers, the two regionally important downgradient

aquifers that underlie the proposed repository host rock. The

potentiometric surfaces will be used to evaluate flow patterns, to

determine flow velocities, to aid in the development of a conceptual

hydrodynamic model of the deep-basin flow system, and to serve as a basis

for calibration of numerical flow models. Although some preliminary

interpretations are presented, the majority of the interpretation of the

regional hydrodynamics of the deep-basin flow system will be contained in

later reports.

The portion of the study area described in this report extends westward

from the Palo Duro Basin area of northern Texas, across the Tucumcari Basin

in eastern New Mexico, and into the recharge area of the deep-basin flow

system in east-central New Mexico where the deep-basin strata crop out. In

another report, the study area will be extended eastward across north-

central Texas and into the discharge area reported in south-central

Oklahoma, where the deep-basin strata also crop out but at a lower

elevation (Levorsen, 1967).

2.2 METHODS, ASSUMPTIONS, AND LIMITATIONS

Almost all the formation pressures used to construct pressure-depth

diagrams and potentiometric-surface maps are initial shut-in pressures

(ISIPs) obtained from DST records, which may not be equivalent to

extrapolated formation pressures obtained from Horner plots. Very few

extrapolated formation pressures were available.

In order to construct potentiometric surfaces of the Wolfcamp Series

and Pennsylvanian System, it was necessary to assume that formation fluids

in the various flow systems have a constant, uniform density equal to that

of fresh water. Consequently, equipotential data shown on the

potentiometric surfaces represent the elevation to which an equivalent

freshwater head would rise in a well penetrating to the midpoint depth of

the DST. Formation fluid samples from the Palo Duro Basin area show that

the density of most formation fluids below the surficial freshwater aquifer

on the High Plains have a density greater than that of fresh water. These

samples also show that fluid densities vary vertically and laterally across

the basin.

Although use of equivalent freshwater heads may produce inexact

results, it is a method commonly used for representing heads in aquifers

containing fluid of varying density. On a regional scale, construction of

potentiometric surfaces based on equivalent freshwater heads should present

reasonable results for the evaluation of flow directions and hydraulic

gradients.

DST data included in this report were obtained from tests performed in

wildcat wells prior to mid-1981 and from tests performed in DOE-sponsored

wells in 1981, 1982, and 1983. Another report will include more recent DST

data from wildcat wells drilled between mid-1981 and early 1983, plus all

DST data from Dallam and Sherman Counties, Texas, and from 29 additional

counties in north-central Texas and south-central Oklahoma

2.3 SOURCES OF DATA

Almost all the DST data were purchased from Petroleum Information

Corporation (PI), Denver, Colorado, and consist of incomplete records of

DSTs performed in wildcat wells. The data base was obtained in 1981 and

includes DST data from 43 counties in the Palo Duro Basin area of Texas and

New Mexico and date from the 1940s through mid-1981.

Complete DST records generally c6nsist of a continuous record of

pressure changes during shut-in and flow periods, the amount of recovery

during shut-in periods, and the temperature, density, and chemical

characteristics of the formation fluid. Many of these data frequently are

not determined or are not recorded. Incomplete DST records, as listed in

the PI data base, usually consist of ISIP, initial shut-in time (ISIT),

final shut-in pressure (FSIP), and final shut-in time (FSIT), as inscribed

on the DST chart and recorded at the well head. Occasionally, recovery

data are listed in the PI data base.

The following list summarizes the pertinent types of information

usually listed in the PI data base:

* Location - latitude, longitude, state, county; block (Texas);

township, range, and section (New Mexico)

* API well number

* Operator and lessee

Completion date

Elevation - ground, Kelly Bushing, derrick floor

Depths to top and bottom of tested interval

Geologic unit of tested interval

* Test data - ISIP, ISIT, FSIP, and FSIT

Most of this information was included for each well and each DST in the

data base. Elevation data occasionally were missing. In these instances,

7 1/2-minute quadrangle maps were used to determine a ground elevation at

the well site.

Instead of relying on the well drillers' identification, geophysical

logs were used to identify the geologic unit tested. This provided

consistent and uniform picks of formation tops and bottoms across the study

area. In wells where geophysical logs were not available, the tested

geologic unit was determined from interpolation and/or extrapolation of

data from nearby wells. In addition, property ownership maps were used to

verify the location of the wells listed in the PI data base. The latitude

and longitude of a few wells were found to be incorrectly listed in the PI

data base.

DSTs were performed in eight wells sponsored by DOE during 1981, 1982,

and 1983. Data from these tests were included in the master DST data base

and compare favorably with data subsequently obtained from long-term

pumping tests performed in the wells. Results from the long-term pumping

tests, while used to confirm the results from the DSTs, were not

incorporated into the master data base per se. This was done to prevent

bias which might result from mixing data obtained from two different

testing techniques

Some records from complete DSTs were provided by the Texas Bureau of

Economic Geology and were incorporated into the master DST data base.

2.4 HYDROGEOLOGIC SETTING

2.4.1 Regional Geologic Setting

The Palo Duro Basin, along with several other small structural basins,

is located within a larger area known in this program as the Permian Basin

(Figure 2-1). The Permian Basin comprises that portion of western Texas,

eastern New Mexico, western Oklahoma, southwestern Kansas, and southeastern

Colorado that is underlain by bedded salt deposits of Permian age (Johnson

and Gonzales, 1978). The Palo Duro Basin is a shallow, asymmetric,

structural basin lacking surface expression, which measures 90 miles north

to south and 165 miles from northwest to southeast. The deepest part of

the basin is an elongate trough adjacent and parallel to the Matador

Uplift. The trough extends northwestward into Deaf Smith County and

contains 10,000 to 11,000 feet of sedimentary rock (Dutton, 1979).

The pre-Permian section can consist of basal Cambrian marine sandstone,

Cambro-Ordovician shallow-shelf carbonates, Mississippian carbonates, and

Pennsylvanian interlayered clastics and carbonates and can range in

thickness from 0 to over 6,000 feet. The Permian section consists of

marine clastics, evaporites, and carbonates, totaling approximately

7,000 feet in thickness. The remainder of the section comprises

terrestrial deposits of Mesozoic to Holocene age (principally Triassic and

Tertiary), ranging in thickness from 500 to 2,200 feet.

The Dalhart Basin lies to the north and contains about 9,000 feet of

sedimentary rock. There is no distinct structural boundary between the

Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins. A connecting seaway appears to have been

open between the basins from Early Pennsylvanian into Late Permian.

The Palo Duro Basin appears to have been structurally separated from

the Tucumcari Basin to the west only during the Early Pennsylvanian. The

nature of the boundary is uncertain, but some faults have been reported.

To the east, the Palo Duro Basin is separated from the Hollis-Harmon and

the Hardeman Basins by a north-south trending basement high and an

associated faulted zone. These faults developed in Late Mississippian to

Early Pennsylvanian. By Late Pennsylvanian, the basins were

stratigraphically continuous.

The Matador Uplift separates the Palo Duro Basin from the Midland Basin

to the south. The uplift is approximately 200 miles long with the

Milnesand Dome at its western end. It has a Precambrian core and consists

of uplifted blocks bounded by faults. The uplift acted as a boundary

between the shallow-shelf facies of the Palo Duro Basin and the deep-basin

facies of the Midland Basin. Geologic units younger than Pennsylvanian are

continuous across the uplift. The Pennsylvanian section is thinner over

the uplift and is absent in a few areas.

The Amarillo Uplift structurally separates the Palo Duro Basin from the

Anadarko Basin to the northeast. The uplift is the most prominent tectonic

feature in the area, with thousands of feet of structural relief with

respect to the basins and with considerable internal relief among isolated

peaks and saddles. It is bounded by major faults and has a Precambrian

core. Geologic units younger than Pennsylvanian are continuous across the

uplift. The Wolfcamp section is thinner over the uplift but the upper

dolomitic strata are continuous across it. The Pennsylvanian section is

not present over the uplift.

Although most of these basins are separated from the Palo Duro Basin by

distinct structural features, all the basins except the Anadarko Basin were

stratigraphically continuous by Late Pennsylvanian, and by Late Wolfcampian

all the basins were stratigraphically continous. As a result, the regional

deep-basin flow system is interbasinal with respect to all the basins

within the study area.

2.4.2 Hydrostratigraphic Units

2.4.2.1 General

The various geologic units in the Palo Duro Basin area were grouped

into three major hydrostratigraphic units, labeled A, B, and C on

Figure 2-2, based on stratigraphy and grouped by similar lithologies.

These three hydrostratigraphic units maintain regional hydrologic

importance throughout the area, as shown on a generalized southwest-

northeast cross section (Figure 2-3).

2.4.2.2 Shallow Freshwater Flow System - HSU A

Hydrostratigraphic Unit A (HSU A) is the shallowest of the major

hydrostratigraphic units and consists of Holocene fluvial and lacustrine

deposits; Quaternary loess,- dune sand, and alluvium; the Tertiary Ogallala

Formation; the Dakota Group and Fredricksburg and Trinity Formations of

Cretaceous age; the Morrison and Exeter Formations of Jurassic age; and the

Dockum Group of Triassic age (see Figure 2-2).

The Ogallala Formation and Dockum Group are the most important aquifer

materials in HSU A. The Ogallala Formation is a regionally extensive

alluvial deposit of sand, gravel, silt, and clay that extends eastward from

the Rocky Mountains. The upper part of the Ogallala Formation is cemented

with carbonate and forms the caprock of the High Plains. The Ogallala

Formation is the major freshwater aquifer in the southern High Plains

region of Texas and New Mexico.

The sandstones, conglomerates, and shales of the Dockum Group were

deposited in fluvial, alluvial fan, and lacustrine environments. These

materials are not as regionally important as the Ogallala Formation but

locally furnish significant quantities of water to wells.

Even though confined, semiconfined, and unconfined flow conditions

exist locally in HSU A, on a regional scale it comprises a shallow, usually

freshwater flow system that is a maximum of 2,200 feet thick beneath the

High Plains and generally less than 1,000 feet thick beneath the Rolling

Plains and Canadian River Valley (see Figure 2-3).

2.4.2.3 Shale and Evaporite Aquitard - HSU B

The Triassic/Permian boundary marks the top of Hydrostratigraphic

Unit B (HSU B), which consists of a thick sequence of Upper Permian shales,

siltstones, and bedded deposits of halite and anhydrite that grade into

shallow marine carbonates to the south in the Midland Basin. HSU B

consists of the Dewey Lake, Alibates, Salado, Yates, Seven Rivers,

Queen/Grayburg, San Andres/Blaine, Glorieta, Upper Clear Fork, Tubb, Lower

Clear Fork, Red Cave, and Wichita Formations (see Figures 2-2 and 2-3).

These strata are characterized by extremely low permeability and vertical

or nearly vertical flow gradients. They occur at a depth of 500 to

2,200 feet beneath the High Plains and crop out in the Rolling Plains.

On a regional scale, these strata act as a major confining unit

impeding flow between the shallow freshwater flow system and the deep-basin

flow system. The proposed repository host rock occurs as a thick salt unit

within HSU B in the Lower San Andres Formation.

2.4.2.4 Deep-Basin Flow System - HSU C

The bottom of the Wichita Group marks the top of Hydrostratigraphic

Unit C (HSU C), the deep-basin flow system. Where the Wichita Group is

absent, the bottom of the Red Cave Formation marks the top of HSU C. HSU C

can consist of the Lower Permian Wolfcamp Series; the Cisco, Canyon,

Strawn, Atoka/Bend, and Morrow Series of Pennsylvanian age; the Chester,

Meramec, and Osage Series of Mississippian age; the Ellenburger Group of

Ordovician age: and older deposits of Cambrian age (see Figures 2-2 and

2-3). Locally Devonian and Silurian strata may be present and are

considered part of HSU C.

HSU C consists predominantly of Pennsylvanian marine-shelf carbonates

and fluvial and deltaic arkosic sandstones, locally known as "granite

wash," which are interbedded with siltstones and shales. Distribution of

the coarse clastic facies was controlled by erosion of faulted granitic and

gabbroic Precambrian basement highlands that were uplifted along the

boundaries of the Palo Duro Basin during the Early Pennsylvanian. Down dip

from the peripheral areas of clastic sedimentation, and intertonguing with

them, are shelf carbonates that grade basinward into thicker more

Page 29: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

15

vertically persistent shelf-margin carbonates that border the basin.

Geophysical logs show that the Pennsylvanian System is thinner or, in some

areas, absent over the Matador Uplift and Milnesand Dome and is completely

absent over the Amarillo Uplift.

Directly overlying the Pennsylvanian strata are the Lower Permian

carbonates and clastics of the Wolfcamp Series. Geophysical logs show that

these materials are continuous across the Palo Duro Basin, Matador Uplift,

Bravo Dome, and Amarillo Uplift. The Early Permian (Wolfcampian) was the

only portion of the Permian Period that involved further uplift and erosion

of the basement highlands. As a result, coarse clastic facies also are

found in the Wolfcamp Series materials bordering the Precambrian basement

highlands. The top of the Wolfcamp Series marks the top of HSU C. During

mid-Permian time, the various sub-basins that make up the Permian Basin

filled with sediment, and the subsequent deposition of shelf carbonates,

shelf-margin clastics, and evaporites, which form HSU B, occurred through

the remainder of the Permian Period.

On a regional scale, HSU C acts as a deep, confined aquifer complex

that transmits fluid laterally and probably transmits and accepts small

quantities of leakage to and from HSU B. HSU C is underlain by Precambrian

crystalline rocks of various lithology, which locally are porous and

permeable enough to store and transmit oil and gas, but regionally are

assumed to act as a lower confining layer to ground-water flow.

Assuming an accidental or natural release of radionuclides from the

proposed repository sites, the permeable clastic and carbonate facies in

the Wolfcamp Series and Pennsylvanian System are the two downgradient

aquifers capable of laterally transmitting radionuclides away from the

proposed sites. Consequently, potentiometric surfaces were constructed for

the Wolfcamp Series and Pennsylvanian System. It should be noted that

hydraulic heads in the Ogallala/Dockum freshwater flow system are

approximately 800 to 2,000 feet greater than equivalent freshwater heads in

the deep-basin aquifers (SWEC, 1983). As a result, ground-water movement

through the shale and evaporite aquitard will be downgradient to the deep-

basin flow system. It also should be noted that at the proposed repository

sites approximately 2,000 to 2,500 feet of shales and evaporites lie

between the host rock and the top of the Wolfcamp aquifer.

2.5 PREVIOUS INVESTIGATIONS

whereas numerous hydrogeologic investigations have been performed in

the Palo Duro Basin area in HSU A to determine the hydrologic

characteristics of the Ogallala Formation and the shallow freshwater flow

system, few investigations have been performed to evaluate the hydrologic

characteristics of HSU B or HSU C. Even though numerous test holes,

wildcat wells, and production wells have been drilled in the oil and gas

field areas surrounding the Palo Duro Basin, the wells were neither

constructed nor the production zones tested for the specific purpose of

obtaining hydrogeologic information. However, some data routinely obtained

during pressure testing of oil and gas exploration wells can be used to

determine some hydrologic characteristics. As part of the ongoing program

to evaluate the Permian Basin as a potential site for a high-level

nuclear-waste repository, the Department of Energy (DOE) has drilled eight

wells specifically designed to obtain geologic and hydrologic data.

DST data have been used in several hydrogeologic investigations to

calculate potentiometric levels and permeability. A description of DST

methods, including the mathematical development of appropriate analytical

equations, is given in Earlougher (1977). Bredehoeft (1965) and Hackbarth

(1978) discuss the use of DST data in hydrogeologic investigations.

Several studies using DST data to analyze regional flow patterns have

been published in refereed journals. McNeal (1965) used DST data to

evaluate the hydrodynamics of several units in the Permian Basin south of

the Matador Uplift and presents potentiometric surfaces for the Ellenburger

Group, Devonian System, Mississippian limestone, Strawn Series, Wolfcamp

Series, and San Andres Formation. Hanshaw and Hill (1969) used DST data to

study the geochemistry and hydrodynamics of the Paradox Basin area.

Hitchon (1969a and 1969b) used FSIP data that were believed to represent

true formation pressures to evaluate the effects of topography and geology

on the flow systems in the western Canada sedimentary basin. Hitchon and

Hays (1971) used DST data to evaluate the regional hydrodynamics of the

Surat Basin, Australia. Bond (1972) used DST data to evaluate the

hydrodynamics of deep-basin aquifers in the Illinois Basin. Toth (1978)

used DST data to identify gravity-induced cross-formational flow in the Red

Earth region in Alberta, Canada. Bassett and Bentley (1982) used DST data

Page 31: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

17

to construct a very generalized potentiometric surface of the Wolfcamp

aquifer for a smaller area in the Palo Duro Basin than described in this

report. Toth and ?illar (1983) used DST data to identify what they

believed to represent anachronous transient formation pressures that are

approaching equilibrium with modern boundary conditions.

Other studies not published in refereed journals but using DST data to

evaluate the deep-basin hydrology of the Palo Duro Basin area have been

published by Handford (1980), Bentley (1981), Bassett and Bentley (1983),

and Devary (1983). Handford (1980) used preliminary DST data to construct

potentiometric surfaces of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian strata (excluding

granite wash) in selected parts of the Palo Duro Basin area. Bentley

(1981) used DST data to construct very generalized regional potentiometric

surfaces of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian aquifers for a smaller area in

the Palo Duro Basin than described in this report. Bassett and Bentley

(1983) used the Bentley (1981) Wolfcamp potentiometric surface in a

separate report dealing with the hydrodynamics and geochemistry of the

deep-basin aquifers in the Palo Duro Basin. Devary (1983) used almost the

same DST data as originally used by Bentley (1981) to construct a regional

Wolfcamp potentiometric surface using kriging techniques.

2.6 COMPUTER PROGRAMS

2.6.1 SURFACE II GRAPHICS SYSTEM

In this study, three sets of potentiometric-surface maps are produced

corresponding to successive refinement of the DST data base. In order to

campare these maps, it was necessary to use a computer mapping program to

*assure consistency in contouring the data. The SURFACE II GRAPHICS SYSTEM

(Sampson, 1978) was used for this purpose and was progammed to apply the

same contouring biases to each set of potentiometric-surface maps.

SURFACE II is a computer program qualified for Nuclear Safety Related use

under SWEC QA procedures. SURFACE II produces contour maps showing the

continuous form of data defined by X, Y, and Z coordinate values. The

irregularly spaced potentiometric data (original Z values) calculated from

the DST data are transformed to a regular X-Y grid, and the original Z

values are used to calculate Z' values at regularly spaced grid nodes. The

Page 32: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

18

Z' values then are contoured to produce potentiometric-surface maps. The

density of the regular grid and the manner in which the Z' values are

calculated are specified by the program user.

The mathematical procedures used to calculate the Z' values assigned to

the grid nodes are discussed in detail in Sampson (1978). In general

terms, the slope of the surface at each nearby original Z value is

estimated by regression analysis, and the slopes then are projected to the

grid nodes. To preserve the integrity of the original potentiometric data,

a distance-weighting function of W = 1/D6 was used, where W is the weight

assigned to the original Z value at a distance D from a grid node. Using

this procedure, Z' values are calculated by a distance-weighted average of

slope projections of adjacent original Z values. (A disadvantage of using

slope projections is that depressions or mounds may be generated in areas

where no original Z values exist.)

SURFACE II contains an error analysis subroutine (ERAN) that is used to

evaluate the "goodness of fit" of the Z' values relative to the original Z

values. ERAN computes the maximum positive error, maximum negative error,

mean error, root-mean-squared error, standard deviation, variance, percent

relative error, skewness, kurtosis, and sum-of-squares error of the

difference between the Z' values and the original Z values. It also

computes the absolute error of many of these statistical measures. In

addition, ERAN plots a histogram of the error distribution, a scatter

diagram of original Z values versus Z' values, and a scatter diagram of the

original Z values versus the difference between original Z values and ZV

values. ERAN also lists for each original data point the X value

(longitude), Y value (latitude), Z value (original potentiometric value),

Z1 value (gridded potentiometric value), the difference between Z and Z'

values, and the standardized difference between Z and Z' values.

Notwithstanding the sophisticated error analysis capability of SURFACE II,

the acceptability of all maps was determined by comparing the contoured

surface to the original data.

SURFACE II contains other subroutines that are used to designate

contour intervals, label contour lines, smooth contoured surfaces, draw

outlines of geographic features, and list the Z' and/or Z values used in

constructing contour maps. SURFACE II does not hachure closed depressions

unless the entire depression is contained within the borders of the map.

Page 33: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

19

Appendix A lists the specific SURFACE II commands used to construct all

the potentiometric-surface maps presented in this report. These commands

were selected after testing various combinations of commands because they

preserved the integrity of the original potentiometric data and produced a

legible, interpretable map.

The Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces produced by SURFACE II have

been modified to show the outline of the Amarillo Uplift and other areas

where Pennsylvanian strata are absent.

2.6.2 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS SYSTEM

The STATISTICAL ANALYSIS SYSTEM (SAS) program (SAS Institute Inc.,

1979) was used to calculate all statistical measures referenced in the

report. SAS is a non-Nuclear Safety Related program that is generally

accepted as an industry standard. It has been installed by over

6,000 users worldwide, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

2.6.3 TRENDS

The MULTIPLE REGRESSION AND GEOLOGIC TREND ANALYSIS (TRENDS) program

(Esler and others, 1968) was used in the planar regression studies. TRENDS

is a Nuclear Safety Related program qualified in accordance with SWEC

quality assurance procedures.

3 DRILL-STEM TEST CLASSIFICATION AND MASTER FILE

3.1 PURPOSE OF CLASSIFICATION SCHEME

A screening process and classification system were devised and used to

evaluate the quality of the DST data. The purpose of this system was to

eliminate dubious data from improperly run tests, incomplete shut-in

pressure and shut-in time records, poorly calibrated or malfunctioning

equipment, and misreported results.

The screening process was based on stringent criteria for the duration

of ISIT and FSIT and for agreement of FSIP with ISIP. The time duration

criteria were used to screen out tests that were run for such a short time

that pressure equilibrium probably could not be approached except in

extremely permeable strata. The pressure agreement criterion was used to

screen out tests that did not appear to approach pressure equilibrium.

Used together, the time duration and pressure agreement criteria should

select DSTs that were run for a sufficiently long time that pressure

equilibrium was approached or attained.

3.2 CLASSIFICATION SCHEME

Because DST data were used to calculate potentiometric levels based on

formation pressures, it was necessary to select those DST data that most

nearly represented the formation pressure in the tested geologic unit.

Unfortunately, Class 1 data, considered to be the most reliable estimate of

formation pressure, were limited to the 27 available DSTs that had complete

records of pressure change with time. Horner plots constructed from these

data were used to calculate extrapolated formation pressures.

Shut-in time and shut-in pressure data were used to separate DSTs with

incomplete records into three classes. Class 2 required ISIT and FSIT to

be greater than or equal to 60 minutes and FSIP to agree within ±5 percent

of ISIP. Class 2 tests represent the second-best data.

Class 3 required ISIT and FSIT to be greater than or equal to

30 minutes but less than 60 minutes and FSIP to agree within ±5 percent of

ISIP. Class 3 tests represent intermediate quality data.

Page 35: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

21

Class 4 tests represent the worst quality data and includes all tests

which did not comply with the criteria for Class 1, 2, or 3. Class 4 tests

either lacked a value of ISIP, FSIP, ISIT, or FSIT, or did not meet the

shut-in time or shut-in pressure agreement criteria for any of the other

classes.

Table 3-1 summarizes the DST classification scheme. Only Class 1, 2,

and 3 tests were used in the hydrogeologic investigations included in this

report. In counties where greater than 25 Class 1 and 2 DSTs were

available, no Class 3 DSTs were added to the data base.

ISIP values do not necessarily approximate true formation pressures as

closely as extrapolated formation pressure values obtained from Horner

plots. In most DSTs where a continuous record of pressure change is

recorded, ISIP is greater than FSIP but less than the extrapolated

formation pressure. (In the PI data base, ISIP was greater than or equal

to FSIP in 82 percent of the Class 2 and 3 DST data.) Consequently, heads

calculated from ISIP values will be less than those based on extrapolated

formation pressures but greater than those calculated from FSIP values.

(In the 17 DSTs where heads based on extrapolated formation pressures can

be compared with heads based on ISIPs, heads based on ISIPs were an average

of 97 feet less than heads based on extrapolated formation pressures.) It

should be noted that 19 Class 1 DSTs have been performed in the Wolfcamp.

Most of these tests were performed in DOE-sponsored wells in Deaf Smith,

Swisher, Donley, and Randall Counties, Texas. Only one Class 1 DST has

been performed in the Pennsylvanian. Instead of using extrapolated

formation pressures to calculate heads for these DSTs, whenever possible

ISIP values measured from either DST charts or Horner plots were used.

This assured that the method used to calculate heads from Class 1 DSTs was

consistent with the method used to calculate heads in adjacent wells from

Class 2 and 3 DSTs because inclusion of heads based on extrapolated

formation pressures produced small mounds in the potentiometric surfaces.

This was considered critical to the determination of horizontal hydraulic

gradients in the Wolfcamp Series and Pennsylvanian System in the proposed

repository site areas because heads based on extrapolated formation

pressure when combined with heads in neighboring wells based on ISIP would

produce fallacious gradients.

3.3 CLASSIFICATION RESULTS

For this report, 5,502 DSTs from 1,971 wells in 43 counties in Texas

and New Mexico were evaluated, screened, and classified. Class 1 tests

comprised less than 0.5 percent of the total. Approximately 12 percent of

the tests qualified as Class 2, whereas approximately 7 percent of the

tests qualified as Class 3. Class 4 tests comprised nearly 80 percent of

the total. Consequently, only 20 percent of the total amount of DST data

qualified for use in this hydrogeologic investigation. Table 3-2

summarizes the results of the DST classification on a state and county

basis.

3.4 MASTER FILE OF GEOLOGIC, HYDROLOGIC, AND FORMATION PRESSURE DATA

A master file of the DST data used in this report is included as

Appendix B. The following-data from 841 DSTs were compiled in the master

filet well number, test number, classification, latitude, longitude,

ground elevation, depth to top of tested interval, depth to bottom of

tested interval, midpoint depth and elevation of tested interval, ISIP,

FSIP, equivalent freshwater head, tested formation, status, year of test,

HSU, and topographic setting. All these categories are defined in the

legend included in Appendix B. Many categories are discussed in greater

detail later in this report. For Class 1 data, the extrapolated formation

pressure is listed under the ISIP heading.

4 WOLFCAMP AND PENNSYLVANIAN POTENTIOMETRIC SURFACES

4.1 GENERAL

Because of their regional extent and position as downgradient regional

aquifers beneath the proposed host rock, potentiometric surfaces were

constructed for the Wolfcamp Series and Pennsylvanian System. Construction

of these maps was based on calculation of equivalent freshwater heads from

ISIP data. In wells where more than one DST was performed in either the

Wolfcamp or the Pennsylvanian aquifer, it was necessary to select only one

head value per well per aquifer. In wells where there were three or more

tests performed in the same aquifer, the head value closest to the average

of the head values was selected. In wells where there were two tests in

the same aquifer, the head value closest to the head values in adjacent

wells was selected.

The following equations were used to calculate equivalent freshwater

heads:

HH = (ISIP) (C/P) (4-1)

where, HH = Freshwater hydrostatic head above tested interval

midpoint (ft),

ISIP = Initial shut-in pressure (psi),

C = Constant (144 in2/ft2), and

P = Unit weight of fresh water (62.4 lb/ft3).

Page 41: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

27

EFWH = ELEV - HDPT + HH (4-2)

where, EFWH = Equivalent freshwater head

(feet relative to mean sea level),

ELEV = Ground-surface elevation

(feet relative to mean sea level), and

HDPT = Midpoint depth of tested interval

(feet below ground surface).

MDPT was assumed to be relative to the ground-surface elevation at the

well head. However, in many cases the reported depths of tested intervals

were measured from the derrick floor or Kelly Bushing, which usually is

10 to 15 feet above ground level. As a result, many of the equivalent

freshwater heads used in this report may be 10 to 15 feet too high. Since

it is not possible to tell consistently what datum MDPT is relative to, the

10 to 15 foot error (which represents approximately 0.5 percent of the

average head value of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian aquifers) was

accepted.

The potentiometric-surface maps presented in this report represent

composite maps of heads calculated from DSTs performed from 1954 through

early 1983. It was necessary to combine DST data from these years because

of the spatial and temporal distribution of the data. This approach

appears to be valid because the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian aquifers

probably are steady state except where locally disturbed by oil and/or gas

production.

Separate potentiometric surfaces were constructed for the Wolfcamp

Series and Pennsylvanian System because the permeable zones in these units

commonly are separated by several hundred feet of shale and argillaceous

limestone which probably act as a leaky confining layer between the

permeable zones. Adjacent to the uplifts, however, permeable zones in

these aquifers may be in hydraulic connection where coarse-grained clastics

were deposited during-both the Pennsylvanian and Wolfcampian. This also

may occur in Randall County, Texas, where a reef complex extends from the

Page 42: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

28

Pe.unsylvanian through the Wolfcampian, as well as in other local areas

where Pennsylvanian carbonates are continuous with Wolfcampian carbonates.

Areas where Pennsylvanian strata are absent, as shown on the

Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces, were delineated using geophysical

logs.

4.2 INITIAL WOLFCAMP AND PENNSYLVANIAN POTENTIOMETRIC SURFACES

Regional potentiometric surfaces for the Wolfcamp Series and

Pennsylvanian System initially were constructed using head values

calculated from all the ISIP data (118 Wolfcamp and 257 Pennsylvanian). As

shown on Figure 4-1 for the Wolfcamp and on Figure 4-2 for the

Pennsylvanian, these potentiometric surfaces contain many large local

mounds and depressions. The configuration of these surfaces was not

considered reasonable on a regional scale due to the unrealistic local

variations in flow directions and hydraulic gradients created by the mounds

and depressions. In many cases, potentiometric levels in adjacent wells

differ by 1,000 to 10,000 feet. To better understand the causes of the

mounds and depressions, analysis of pressure-depth data from the deep-basin

DST data was undertaken.

4.3 PRESSURE-DEPTH DATA

4.3.1 Theoretical Pressure-Depth Relationships

Hydrostatic pressure is caused by the unit weight of fluid and the

height of the fluid column above the measurement point. Hydrostatic

pressure gradients vary according to the density of fluid. Varying

concentrations of dissolved solids and gases, and temperature differences

affect hydrostatic pressure gradients. As a result, an increase in the

content of dissolved solids increases hydrostatic pressure, whereas an

increase in the content of dissolved gases or higher fluid temperatures

decreases hydrostatic pressure.

The hydrostatic pressure gradient of fresh water or brackish water

(<10,000 mg/i dissolved solids) is 0.433 psi/ft. The hydrostatic pressure

gradient of brine, with approximately 80,000 mg/l dissolved solids, is

0.465 psi/ft (Fertl, 1976).

Formation pressure is the pressure acting on formation fluids in pore

spaces of the formation (Fertl, 1976). Normally, formation pressure is

equal to the hydrostatic pressure exerted by a column of water extending

from its potentiometric level down to the point of measurement. Abnormally

high formation pressures, referred to as overpressures, are greater than

normal hydrostatic pressures at a given depth. Abnormally low formation

pressures,;referred to as underpressures, are less than normal hydrostatic

pressures at a given depth. Figure 4-3 is a pressure-depth diagram showing

a range of hydrostatic pressure gradients for fresh water (0.433 psi/ft)

and brine (0.496 psi/ft - approximately 200,000 mg/i dissolved solids) and

the regions of overpressuring and underpressuring. Although brines ranging

in density from 66.1 to 76.8 lb/ft3 are known to exist in the deep-basin

strata, neither the average hydrostatic pressure gradient nor its vertical

or lateral variations have yet been determined. (The range of probable

hydrostatic pressure gradients shown on the pressure-depth diagrams in this

report are for use only as references and are not intended to indicate

whether or not pressure-depth data are hydrostatic or hydrodynamic.)

Pressure-depth data obtained from DSTs can be plotted on a diagram

similar to Figure 4-3 and used to evaluate and interpret pressure-depth

relationships in a particular well, geographic region, or geologic unit.

The linear regression lines and statistics shown on the pressure-depth

diagrams in this report originally were plotted in the standard manner with

the independent variable (depth) on the X-axis and the dependent variable

(pressure) on the Y-axis. After the regression statistics were obtained,

the axes were transformed to put depth on the Y-axis and pressure on the

X-axis, the conventional format used by geologists and petroleum engineers.

The linear regression lines plotted on many of the pressure-depth diagrams

are not intended to be used to identify areas or zones where vertical

ground-water movement is occurring. Rather, their intended use is to show

statistically the general trend of the data. Identification of areas and

zones of vertical ground-water movement will be discussed in another report

after basin-specific fluid density data are used to construct basin-

specific hydrostatic pressure gradients.

4.3.2 Pressure-Depth Diagrams From Counties in Texas and New Mexico

Pressure-depth diagrams were constructed, for each county in the study

area that contained Class 1, 2, or 3 DST data, by plotting extrapolated

formation pressure or ISIP (psi) against the depth of the tested interval

midpoint (ft). The geologic unit tested by the DST is coded on the

diagrams which are included in Appendix C.

4.4 WOLFCAMP AND PENNSYLVANIAN PRESSURE-DEPTH DATA

Figure 4-4 is a plot of Wolfcamp pressure-depth data. Figure 4-5 is a

plot of Pennsylvanian pressure-depth data. These figures show that almost

all the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian pressure-depth data are underpressured

with respect to the range of hydrostatic pressure gradients shown on the

diagrams and that some of the data are grossly underpressured. (The terms

"grossly underpressured," "grossly overpressured," "abnormally pressured,"

and "aberrant data" are used in this report as general terms to refer to

those data that do not lie along the general trend of the majority of the

Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian data, as shown on Figures 4-4 and 4-5. The term

"normally pressured" is used as a general term to refer to those data that

lie along the general trend of the majority of the Wolfcamp and

Pennsylvanian data, as shown on Figures 4-4 and 4-5. None of these terms

has hydrodynamic connotations.)

Heads calculated from grossly overpressured data are responsible for

the potentiometric mounds seen on Figures 4-1 and 4-2. Similarly, heads

calculated from grossly underpressured data are responsible for the

potentiometric depressions seen on these figures. In many cases, these

.heads are 1,000 to 10,000 feet greater than or less than heads in adjacent

wells in the same geologic unit at a similar depth.

Elimination of local exceptionally high and exceptionally low heads

would produce more reasonable regional potentiometric surfaces.

Elimination of these data could be based on (1) arbitrarily set limits of

hydrostatic pressure gradients that reduce the range of acceptable

formation pressures, or (2) on statistical analysis of normal and aberrant

formation pressures or heads, or (3) on analysis of the hydrodynamics of

the local flow system around the wells. The third method was chosen to

eliminate or select as much data as possible due to the physical

relationships controlling the hydrodynamics of the deep-basin flow system,

rather than due to compliance or noncompliance with statistical tests or

arbitrarily set hydrostatic pressure gradients which ignore the physical

mechanisms that relate formation pressures and hydrodynamics, and

therefore, may eliminate or select both valid and invalid data.

4.5 ABNORMAL FORMATION PRESSURES

Most literature concerning abnormal formation pressures addresses their

relationship to oil and gas reservoirs (Dickey and Cox, 1977; Bradley,

1975), their geologic significance (Harkins and Baugher, 1969; Lewis and

Rose, 1970; Magara, 1971; Russell, 1972; Berry, 1973; Dickinson, 1953;

Hanshaw and Bredehoeft, 1968; Bredehoeft and Hanshaw, 1968; Sharp, 1983;

Neuzil and Pollock, 1983; Koppula, 1983), or their hydrodynamic

significance (Toth, 1978; Toth and Millar, 1983). These authors have

proposed several theories about the origin of abnormal formation pressures

which are listed below:

According to these authors, evidence exists to support all these

purported causes of abnormal formation pressure. It is very difficult,

however, on a local or well-by-well basis, to determine which cause has

affected a particular abnormally pressured DST and not a normally pressured

DST in the same geologic unit at a similar depth in the same well or in

adjacent wells, especially for the first ten causes listed above. It is

possible, however, to determine whether a DST at a particular depth has

been affected by the withdrawal or injection of fluids.

The distribution of DST wells relative to the distribution of oil and

gas production fields, as shown on Figure 4-6, suggested that some DSTs may

have been performed in strata where extraction of formation fluids from

production zones may have reduced formation pressures to the extent that

formation pressures recorded by the DSTs appear to be grossly

underpressured.

-4.6 WOLFCAMP AND PENNSYLVANIAN POTENTIOMETRIC SURFACES AFTER CULLING

DEPRESSURED DST DATA

4.6.1 Culling of Depressured DST Data

As Figure 4-6 shows, many DSTs were performed in areas that currently

produce or historically produced oil and/or gas from strata with sufficient

porosity to serve as a reservoir and sufficient permeability-to transmit

oil or gas to production wells. Depending on the hydrologic

characteristics of the reservoir, DSTs performed in these strata subsequent

to the commencement of oil or gas extraction might be affected by

depressuring of the reservoir. As a result, these DSTs would record

abnormally low FSIP and ISIP values that may be valid formation pressures

but actually represent temporal pressures in local depressurized zones

within a regional flow system that is probably steady state. (The term

"temporal pressure" is used instead of "transient pressure" because the

recorded formation pressure may or may not be transient with respect to the

pumping stress.)

Heads calculated from DSTs performed in a depressurized zone would be

abnormally low compared to heads calculated from DSTs in nearby wells in

the same geologic unit but not within the depressurized zone.

Consequently, identification and deletion of heads calculated from DSTs

performed in local depressurized zones in the Wolfcamp Series and

Pennsylvanian System are critical to the construction of their regional

potentiometric surfaces.

Pressure-depth data from Hockley County, Texas, are shown on

Figure 4-7A. Note that almost all the data are underpressured with respect

to the range of probable hydrostatic pressure gradients and that some of

the Clear Fork data at a depth of 6,800 to 7,300 feet and many of the

Pennsylvanian data at a depth of 9,800 to 10,000 feet are grossly

underpressured. This suggested that DSTs performed in these zones may be

depressured due to the extraction of oil and/or gas. To verify this

contention, property ownership maps showing the locations of oil and gas

production wells and wildcat wells in a given county were obtained from PI.

By determining the locations of DST wells relative to the locations of oil

and gas fields, the depth of production zone(s), the depth interval of the

DSTs, and the discovery date of the field(s), it was possible to identify

DSTs and test intervals where formation pressures were decreased by oil

and/or gas production.

Oil production from Pennsylvanian strata in Hockley County, Texas,

provides an example of this method and how it was used to identify

depressured DSTs. Table 4-1 lists the number of oil fields and the

cumulative volume of oil production prior to January 1, 1980, from five

geologic units in Hockley County. As the table shows, a tremendous volume

of oil, 43,677,657 barrels, has been extracted from 21 fields producing

from Pennsylvanian strata (Texas Railroad Commission, 1979).

Figure 4-8 shows the outline of the major Pennsylvanian oil fields in

Hockley County, the depth to production zone(s) in each field, the

locations of many of the DST wells, and the midpoint depth of the DSTs.

Seemingly depressured DSTs, as seen on the Hockley County pressure-depth

diagram (Figure 4-7A), are marked with a circular dot, whereas normally

pressured DSTs are marked with a square dot. (ISIP values for each DST are

listed in Appendix B.) Figure 4-8 shows that seemingly depressured DSTs

consistently were recorded at depths where oil production was occurring in

one or more nearby oil fields and that normally pressured DSTs consistently

were recorded at depths above or below the depth(s) of oil production.

Figure 4-7A shows that seemingly depressured DSTs occur only at the same

depths as grossly underpressured Pennsylvanian DSTs. Deletion of the

exceptionally low heads calculated from these depressured DSTs will

eliminate the large depression in Hockley County seen on the initial

Pennsylvanian potentiometric surface (Figure 4-2).

This method was repeated for production zones in the other geologic

units in Hockley County. Figure 4-7B shows the remaining pressure-depth

data from Hockley County after deletion of the depressured DSTs. Because

of the success of this method in Hockley County, property ownership maps

for all the counties in the study area were purchased from PI, and oil and

gas production data and production depth data were obtained from various

sources (Texas Railroad Commission, 1979; Roswell Geological Society, 1956,

1960, 1977; New Mexico Oil and Gas Engineering Committee, 1981). These

data were used to identify DSTs in various geologic units throughout the

study area that were depressurized due to oil and/or gas production. In

Appendix B, the "STATUS" of these DSTs is listed as "DEPR" which is defined

in the legend as "depressurized due to extraction of oil and/or gas in

adjacent areas in the same geologic unit at a similar depth." Table 4-2

shows that 23 depressured DSTs were culled from the Wolfcamp data set and

120 depressured DSTs were culled from the Pennsylvanian data set.

It should be noted that some normally pressured DSTs were recorded at

depths of oil production in nearby fields. However, these DSTs were

performed prior to development of the oil field(s) and, therefore, prior to

depressuring of the reservoir. Some normally pressured DSTs also were

recorded at depths of oil production after the commencement of development,

but apparently either at a distance beyond the depressurized zone or in

strata that are discontinuous or separated from the production zone by a

confining unit that does not rapidly transmit the pressure reduction.

The depressured zones represent localized zones where oil and/or gas

extraction have produced temporal formation pressures which do not appear

to be transmitted vertically to a great extent. As an example, Figure 4-9

shows four wells in Hockley County where multiple DSTs were performed in

Pennsylvanian strata in the same well. In each case, the depressured zone

seemingly is very limited vertically; the reduced formation pressure in the

depressured zone has not been sufficiently transmitted vertically to affect

the overlying DST which is normally pressured. This same relationship was

strata- overlying the production zone acts not only as a flow barrier

retarding the flow of fluids but also as a pressure barrier retarding the

equalization of pressures.

4.6.2 Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian Potentiometric Surfaces After Culling

Depressured DST Data

Depressured DSTs were culled from the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian data

sets because the depressured zones are limited in lateral and vertical

extent and represent local temporal aberrations in the regional deep-basin

flow system. Figures 4-10 and 4-11 show the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian

pressure-depth data, respectively, after culling depressured DSTs from the

data sets.

Figures 4-12 and 4-13 show the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian

potentiometric surfaces, respectively, after culling head values calculated

from depressured DSTs. The Wolfcamp map is based on 99 head values,

whereas the Pennsylvanian map is based on 168 head values. Figures 4-14

and 4-15 list the equivalent freshwater head values and the locations of

the depressured DSTs culled from the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian data sets,

respectively. Although these potentiometric surfaces are a marked

improvement over those shown on Figures 4-1 and 4-2 because local temporal

variations in head have been eliminated, they still contain a few local

prominent mounds and depressions with seemingly abnormal heads. Additional

data refinement was believed necessary to produce regional potentiometric

surfaces.

4.7 WOLFCAMIP AND PENNSYLVANIAN POTENTIOMETRIC SURFACES AFTER CULLING

DEPRESSURED, GROSSLY UNDERPRESSURED, AND GROSSLY OVERPRESSURED

DST DATA

4.7.1 Culling of Grossly Underpressured and Grossly Overpressured

DST Data

Because of the difficulty in attributing local abnormally pressured

data to a specific cause other than depressuring due to oil or gas

extraction, deletion of additional abnormal DST data and subsequent

refinement of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces were

based on comparison of abnormal ISIPs and heads with normal ISIPs and heads

at a similar depth in the same geologic unit in the same well and/or in

adjacent wells. Although this method does not take into account local

hydrodynamics, it does. evaluate local abnormally pressured DSTs with local

normally pressured DSTs.

Figures 4-10 and 4-11 show several grossly underpressured DSTs not

attributable to depressuring and several grossly overpressured DSTs. Heads

calculated from some of these DSTs are as much as 9,000 feet greater than

to 4,000 feet less than nearby normally pressured DSTs. This produces the

hydrologically improbable cases where some heads are higher than the

outcrop elevation of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian strata in the recharge

area in east-central New Mexico and some heads are lower than the outcrop

elevation of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian strata in the discharge area

reported by Levorsen (1967) in south-central Oklahoma. For the

construction of regional potentometric-surface maps, the deletion of these

local abnormally pressured DSTs is justified, although the cause for their

abnormality is problematic. In other cases, where the difference between

heads calculated from abnormally pressured DSTs and normally pressured DSTs

is less than 1,000 feet, the deletion of these local abnormally pressured

DSTs is more subjective.

Reasons for gross overpressuring and gross underpressuring of DSTs are

problematic, particularly when other DSTs at a similar depth in the same

geologic unit in the same well and/or in adjacent wells are normally

pressured, but may be related to one or more of the causes described in

Page 68: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

54

Section 4.5. It is possible that some grossly overpressured DSTs are the

result of failed packer seals which allowed drilling mud to invade the

tested zone and, therefore, caused abnormally high formation pressures to

be recorded. Consequently, these tests would appear to be overpressured.

It is probable in a large data base that several tests may have failed in J

this manner and still have satisfied the screening criteria for Class 2 or

3. It also is possible that some grossly underpressured DSTs were

performed in strata that are sufficiently impermeable that even though the

shut-in time duration and shut-in pressure agreement criteria were

satisfied for Class 2 or 3, the tests were not run long enough for pressure

equilibrium to be approached. Consequently, these tests would record

abnormally low shut-in pressures and would appear to be grossly

underpressured. Although the probability is low that these DSTs would

satisfy the pressure agreement criterion, in a large data base a few tests

with this anomaly would be expected.

Table 4-2 shows that the Wolfcamp data set contained 20 locally

aberrant DSTs, 11 grossly underpressured and 9 grossly overpressured,

whereas the Pennsylvanian data set contained 34 aberrant DSTs, 10 grossly

underpressured and 24 grossly overpressured. Figures 4-16 and 4-17 list

the equivalent freshwater head values and show the locations of the local

grossly underpressured and grossly overpressured DSTs culled from the

Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian data sets, respectively.

Figure 4-16 shows that the grossly underpressured and grossly

overpressured Wolfcamp data are located in the peripheral parts of the Palo

Duro Basin. Most of the grossly underpressured Wolfcamp data are located

in Donley County, Texas, and in Chaves County, New Mexico, whereas most of

the grossly overpressured Wolfcamp data are located in Lamb and Briscoe

Counties, Texas. Figure 4-17 shows that the grossly underpressured and -;

grossly overpressured Pennsylvanian data also are located in the peripheral

parts of the Palo Duro Basin. Most of the grossly underpressured

Pennsylvanian data are located in Cottle and Hartley Counties, Texas,

whereas most of the grossly overpressured Pennsylvanian data are located in

Chaves County, New Mexico, and in the Anadarko Basin area in Roberts,

Wheeler, and Hemphill Counties, Texas.

In general, the distribution of grossly underpressured and grossly

overpressured DSTs is similar to the distribution of all the DSTs.

Comparison of Figures 4-16 and 4-17 with Figure 4-6 shows that most of the

grossly underpressured and grossly overpressured DSTs occur in the major

oil and gas producing areas where most of the DSTs have been performed.

This similarity simply may reflect this sampling bias. Alternatively, it

may reflect the greater geologic complexity of the major oil and gas

producing areas.

In Appendix B, the "STATUS" of these DSTs is listed either as "UNDE,"

which is defined in the legend as "grossly underpressured with respect to

data in adjacent areas in the same geologic unit at a similar depth but not

attributable to oil or gas extraction," or as "OVER," which is defined in

the legend as "grossly overpressured with respect to data in adjacent areas

in the same geologic unit at a similar depth.

Figures 4-18 and 4-19 show the most refined Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian

potentiometric surfaces, respectively, after culling depressured, grossly

underpressured, and grossly overpressured DST data. The Wolfcamp map is

based on 82 head values, whereas the Pennsylvanian map is based on 145 head

values. Regional and some local variations in flow directions and

hydraulic gradients can be seen. The prominent localized mounds and

depressions shown on Figures 4-1 and 4-2 and on Figures 4-12 and 4-13 are

not present. Figure 4-20 and 4-21 are pressure-depth diagrams of Wolfcamp

and Pennsylvanian data, respectively after culling depressured, grossly

underpressured, and grossly overpressured DSTs.

The closed depression on Figure 4-18 located in the northeast corner of

the map is not an artifact of the computer contouring program. It may be

real or it may be the result of not having data in the adjacent counties to

the north and east. Expansion of the study area into Oklahoma and

incorporation of these data should verify or negate the existence of this

closed depression.

4.8 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS OF CULLING PROCEDURES

Comparative analyses of the culling procedures were made using linear

regression of pressure-depth data and error analysis of original head

values versus gridded head values generated and contoured by SURFACE II.

Table 4-3 summarizes the regression statistics for Wolfcamp and

Pennsylvanian ISIP data and shows changes in various statistical measures

due to culling depressured, grossly underpressured, and grossly

overpressured DST data. As expected, correlation between ISIP and midpoint

depth shows a marked improvement as a result of the culling procedures

corresponding to elimination of depressured data and local abnormally

pressured data. The correlation coefficients shown on Table 4-3 show that-

most of the refinement in the DST data was due to culling depressured DSTs.

The correlation coefficient for Wolfcamp data improved from 0.759 to 0.891,

whereas the correlation coefficient for Pennsylvanian data improved from

0.572 to 0.900. Some additional refinement in the DST data was due to

culling local grossly underpressured and grossly overpressured DSTs. The

correlation coefficient for Wolfcamp data improved to 0.932, whereas the

correlation coefficient for Pennsylvanian data improved to 0.959.

Comparison of correlation coefficients indicates that most of the

refinement of the potentiometric surfaces was based on eliminating DSTs

affected by formation pressure reduction due to fluid extraction.

(Hydrodynamic interpretations regarding deep-basin recharge and discharge

areas and local areas of vertical ground-water movement based on analysis

of pressure-depth data have been postponed until fluid density data from

the study area are compiled and used to construct basin-specific

hydrostatic pressure gradients).

The ERAN subroutine in SURFACE II calculates a variety of statistics

for assessing the error in gridded head values versus original head values.

Table 4-4 summarizes the error analyses from the head data used to

construct the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces. As

expected, the maximum negative error, mean absolute error, root-mean-

squared absolute error, and percent relative absolute error dramatically

decrease due to culling depressured DSTs. Culling local grossly

underpressured and grossly overpressured DSTs produced some minor

additional reduction in these statistical measures, as well as decreasing

the maximum positive error.

As these statistical measures show, most of the improvement in the fit

of the original Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian head data relative to their

gridded head data was due to culling those head values calculated from

depressured DSTs. Some additional improvement was due to culling head

values calculated from local grossly underpressured and grossly

overpressured DSTs.

4.9 SUMMARY AND INTERPRETATION OF POTENTIOMETRIC SURFACES

Three sets of Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces are

presented: Figures 4-1 and 4-2, Figures 4-12 and 4-13, and

Figures 4-18 and 4-19, respectively. The maps were constructed using

equivalent freshwater heads based on ISIP values. To assure consistency in

the method used to calculate heads, ISIP values were used from complete DST

records (Class 1), whenever possible, and from incomplete DST records

(Class 2 and 3). Each set of maps represents a further refinement of the

DST data sets based on the culling procedures previously discussed. Each

level of data refinement produced potentiometric surfaces with less local

variation in flow directions and hydraulic gradients. The potentiometric

surfaces shown on Figures 4-1 and 4-2 represent the present configuration

of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces, respectively,

containing local temporal potentiometric data due to depressured DSTs and

local aberrant potentiometric data due to grossly. underpressured and

grossly overpressured DSTs. The potentiometric surfaces shown on

Figures 4-12 and 4-13 represent the present configuration of the Wolfcamp

and Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces, respectively, after local

temporal potentiometric data due to depressured DSTs were deleted, but

still containing local aberrant potentiometric data due to local grossly

underpressured and grossly overpressured DSTs. The potentiometric surfaces

shown on Figures 4-18 and 4-19 are the most refined representation of the

regional potentiometric surfaces of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian

aquifers, respectively, and probably closely approximate their regional

configuration prior to oil and gas production.

Page 80: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

66

Even though reestablishment of normal pressures in oil and gas

production zones may take many years, determination of flow patterns and

flow velocities, development of a conceptual hydrodynamic model of the

deep-basin flow system, and calibration of numerical models using the

potentiometric maps shown on Figures 4-18 and 4-19 are believed preferable

to using the potentiometric surfaces shown on Figures 4-1 and 4-2 and on

Figures 4-12 and 4-13, where local temporal and/or local aberrant

potentiometric data severely perturb the regional potentiometric surfaces.

Preliminary permeability and lithologic data indicate that Wolfcamp

equipotential patterns, as shown on Figure 4-18, appear to be controlled by

transmissivity variations corresponding to facies changes in the Wolfcamp

Series. The stacking of the 2,600 to 1,600-foot equipotential lines along

the northwest-southeast trend shown on Figure 4-18 appears to correspond to

an area where marine siltstones and shales were deposited throughout the

Wolfcampian (Dutton, 1979). The lower transmissivity of these materials

may contribute to the steepening of the hydraulic gradient in this area.

The spreading out of equipotential lines in the southeastern, southwestern,

and northeastern parts of the study area, as shown on Figure 4-18, appears

to correspond to areas where carbonate shelf and shelf-margin carbonates

were deposited and where greater thicknesses of sandstone and granite wash

were deposited during the Wolfcampian (Dutton, 1979). The greater

transmissivity of these materials may contribute to the flattening of the

hydraulic gradient in these areas.

There does not appear to be much topographic control of equipotential

patterns, as seen on Figure 4-18. Topographic relief across the High

Plains/Rolling Plains escarpment does not appear to influence equipotential

patterns in the Wolfcamp. However, the general southwest-northeast flow

direction seen in the central part of the study area and the west-east flow

direction seen in the southern part of the study area undoubtably are

influenced by the location and elevation of the recharge area to the west

and the location and elevation of the discharge area to the east.

Interpretation of the factors controlling equipotential patterns for

the Pennsylvanian strata, as shown on Figure 4-19, is more difficult

because of the poor distribution of the Pennsylvanian potentiometric data.

Even though 145 data points were used to construct the Pennsylvanian

Page 81: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

67

potentiometric surface shown on Figure 4-19, compared to the 82 data points

used to construct the Wolfcamp potentiometric surface shown on Figure 4-18,

the Pennsylvanian data points are not as evenly distributed as the Wolfcamp

data points. Most of the Pennsylvanian data are clustered in the Anadarko

Basin area north of the Amarillo Uplift and in the Matador Uplift area.

Very few data are located in the central part of the study area in the Palo

Duro Basin. Hopefully, additional DST data obtained from PI from mid-1981

through early 1983 will improve the distribution of the Pennsylvanian data.

The greater transmissivity of the Pennsylvanian carbonates and the

massive deposits of granite wash and sandstone along the margins of the

Oldham Nose and Amarillo Uplift is expected to greatly influence

equipotential patterns in the Pennsylvanian strata. Topographic relief

across the High Plains/Rolling Plains escarpment is not expected to

influence local equipotential patterns. However, the general southwest-

northeast flow direction seen in the central part of the study area and the

west-east flow direction seen in the southern part of the study area

undoubtably are influenced by the location and elevation of the recharge

area to the west and the location and elevation of the discharge area to

the east.

4.10 COMPARISON OF WOLFCAMP AND PENNSYLVANIAN POTENTIOMETRIC SURFACES WITH

PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED POTENTIOHETRIC SURFACES

4.10.1 General Comparison of Methods

The authors believe that the potentiometric surfaces shown on

Figures 4-18 and 4-19 and the methods used to construct these maps are an

improvement over previously constructed potentiometric surfaces of the

Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian aquifers (Handford, 1980; Bentley, 1981; Bassett

and Bentley, 1982 and 1983; and Devary, 1983). In these studies,

depressured DSTs were not recognized.

Although no data were culled by Handford (1980), in the other studies

seemingly abnormal head data were deleted based on a point-by-point

comparison of seemingly acceptable heads versus seemingly unacceptable

heads, or seemingly abnormal heads were deleted based on the difference

Page 82: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

63

between predicted head values using kriging techniques and original head

values. Consequently, the potentiometric surfaces presented in these

studies are neither precise representations of the Wolfcamp or

Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces prior to oil and gas production, nor

precise representations of the present Wolfcamp or Pennsylvanian

potentiometric surfaces. Rather, the potentiometric surfaces presented in

these studies represent an ill-defined combination of the two.

It should be noted that the DST data base used in this report and the

DST data base(s) used by Handford (1980), Bentley (1981), Bassett and

Bentley (1982 and 1983), and Devary (1983) are different. The data base

used in this report contains DST data from the late 1970s and early 1980s

and from the DOE-sponsored wells drilled and tested in 1982 and 1983, which

the other data base(s) do not include.

Specific comparisons between the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian

potentiometric surfaces produced by other authors with those included in

this report will be made in the following section.

4.10.2 Specific Comparison of Methods and Results

At the proposed repository site areas in Deaf Smith and Swisher

Counties, Texas, the potentiometric levels shown on Figures 4-18 and 4-19

are several hundred feet lower than the potentiometric levels shown by

Bassett and Bentley (1982 and 1983) and Devary (1983) for the Wolfcamp, and

by Bentley (1981) for the Wolfcamp and the Pennsylvanian. Perhaps this

occurs because these authors used heads based on extrapolated formation

pressures mixed with heads based on ISIP or FSIP.

The flow direction in the Wolfcamp and the Pennsylvanian at the

proposed repository site areas, as shown on Figures 4-18 and 4-19, is more

toward the north-northeast, toward the Amarillo Uplift (see Figure 2-1),

than is shown by Bentley (1981) and Bassett and Bentley (1982 and 1983).

This may be due to one or more of the following reasons:

(1) Inclusion of extrapolated formation pressures,

(2) Inclusion of depressured DSTs in oil and gas production zones,

(3) For the Wolfcamp aquifer, assuming no flow over the top of the

Amarillo Uplift into the Anadarko Basin, in spite of the fact that

Page 83: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

69

the upper, dolomitic part of the Wolfcamp is continuous across

this area (although it is cut by faults), and

(4) over-smoothing of the contour lines, to the extent that the

integrity of the original potentiometric data is not preserved.

Heads and flow directions shown on Figure 4-1 for the Wolfcamp aquifer

are similar to those shown by Handford (1980) for a smaller area of the

Wolfcamp aquifer. In neither map have any head data been culled.

Comparison of heads and flow directions from Figure 4-2 for the

Pennsylvanian with those shown by Handford (1980) for the Pennsylvanian

(excluding granite wash) is difficult because of the smaller area of

Handford's map and the spotty distribution of Handford's contours.

Devary's (1983) potentiometric surfaces of the Wolfcamp Series were

based on data obtained from the Texas Bureau of Economic Geology and

previously contoured by Handford (1980) and Bentley (1981). Devary's

initial Wolfcamp potentiometric surface, produced using point kriging, is

similar to that shown on Figure 4-1; it contains local prominent mounds and

depressions. Based on a generalized covariance analysis, Devary (1983,

p. 15) noted that several head values near the Matador Uplift and Oldham

Nose were "statistically significant outliers (i.e., the predicted minus

observed head values were over 2.5 x sigma larger than expected)."

Figure 4-6 shows that the Matador Uplift and eastern Oldham County are

major areas of oil production. No doubt many of the statistical outliers

mentioned by Devary (1983) are aberrant because the DSTs were performed in

depressured zones. Devary (1983) refined his initial Wolfcamp

potentiometric surface by using block kriging over a 5-mile by 5-mile

block. This technique produced a potentiometric surface that "is quite

smooth and regular" but still contained "the extreme variability of the

potentiometric data near [the] Matador Arch and [the] Oldham Nose ...

(Devary, 1983, p. 17). Both of Devary's Wolfcamp potentiometric surfaces

(Devary, 1983) had a northeast trending flow direction at the proposed

nuclear-waste repository sites.

It should be noted that both of the Wolfcamp potentiometric surfaces

produced by Devary (1983) were based on a data set from which 17 head

values were deleted because of a lack of conformance between predicted

heads based on kriging and observed heads. The data that were deleted had

Page 84: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

70

differences between kriged minus observed heads ranging between 181 to

1,762 feet. Although no deletion criteria were described, the

justification given for the deletion of these data was that more reliable

data were available from neighboring wells.

McNeal (1965) constructed potentiometric surfaces for seven deep-basin

aquifers in the Midland Basin area of Texas, including potentiometric

surfaces for the Wolfcamp Series and Strawn Series (a series within the

Pennsylvanian System). Although McNeal's maps were constructed from DSTs,

and heads calculated from depressured DSTs were deleted, direct comparison

between the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces presented in

this report with those produced by NcNeal (1965) is not made because

McNeal's study area borders the study area of this report only along the

southernmost row of counties (Cochran, Hockley, Lubbock, Crosby, Dickens,

and King Counties, Texas), and in this area McNeal's potentiometric

contours are inferred and extrapolated from data further to the south in

the Midland Basin. Consequently, direct comparison of the potentiometric

maps included in this report with those in McNeal (1965) would be

speculative and inconclusive.

5 PRESSURE-DEPTH ANALYSES

5.1 HIGH PLAINS/ROLLING PLAINS PRESSURE-DEPTH RELATIONSHIP

Figure 5-1 is a geographic reference map of the study area showing the

locations of the High Plains and Rolling Plains. Figures 5-2A and 5-2B are

pressure-depth diagrams of data from Cottle and Hale Counties, Texas,

respectively (depressured, grossly underpressured, and grossly

overpressured DST data have been deleted). Note that almost all the

pressure-depth data from both counties are underpressured with respect to

the range of probable hydrostatic pressure gradients. However, data from

Hale County, located on the High Plains, are far more underpressured than

data from Cottle County, located on the Rolling Plains. This relationship

exists for other counties located on the Rolling Plains and High Plains and

for individual DSTs within a county that straddles the High Plains and

Rolling Plains (Figure 5-1 and Appendix C).

Figures 5-3A and 5-3B are pressure-depth diagrams plotting data from

wells located on the Rolling Plains and High Plains, respectively

(depressured, grossly underpressured, and grossly overpressured DST data

have been deleted). These diagrams were compiled from DST data from all

available geologic units in HSU B and HSU C and from "TOPOGRAPHIC SETTING"

information listed in Appendix B. Note that, in the same manner as the

Hale County/Cottle County example, data from the High Plains are far more

underpressured than data from the Rolling Plains.

Pressure-depth data throughout the study area can be separated into two

distinct populations, one from the High Plains and one from the Rolling

Plains, as shown on Figures 5-3A and 5-3B and on Table 5-1 which summarizes

the regression statistics listed on these figures. The cause of these

population differences appears to be due to topographic relief across the

High Plains/Rolling Plains escarpment which dramatically changes the depth

from the ground surface to potentiometric levels in the deep-basin strata.

This is manifest by the difference in the Y-intercept values of the

regression lines, as listed on Table 5-1. The larger Y-intercept value for

High Plains data reflects the greater depth from the ground surface to

potentiometric levels in the deep-basin strata, whereas the smaller

Y-intercept value for Rolling Plains data reflects the lesser depth from

the ground surface to potentiometric levels in the deep basin strata.

Consequently, topographic variations (variations in the depth to

potentiometric levels) appear to be a control on the location of the data

along the Y-axis of a pressure-depth diagram.

5.2 PLANAR REGRESSION OF WOLFCAMP AND PENNSYLVANIAN ISIP DATA

5.2.1 General

Analysis of Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian pressure-depth data, as

described in Section 4.4, showed that after the data were culled an

excellent correlation existed between pressure and depth. On further

examination of these data and data from other geologic units, it was

observed that better correlation was obtained by separating the data

according to topographic setting, as described in Section 5.1. This

analysis showed that pressure-depth data from the High Plains are far more

underpressured than pressure-depth data from the Rolling Plains (see

Figure 5-3), possibly due to topographic relief across the High

Plains/Rolling Plains escarpment which dramatically changes the depth from

the ground surface to potentiometric levels in the deep-basin strata. This

lead to the hypothesis that a plane could be determined which would

minimize the effect of measuring depth from variable elevations along the

topographic surface as well as minimize the difference between the Y-

intercepts of the High Plains and Rolling Plains regression lines.

A "best-fit" hypothetical plane was calculated for Wolfcamp data and

for Pennsylvanian data. These planes were used to "normalize" the

pressure-depth data to determine a best-fit plane for each aquifer which

would minimize the effect of measuring depth from variable surface

elevations and to minimize deviation from a linear pressure-depth

relationship. It was assumed that these hypothetical planes were a linear

function of longitude and latitude. It also was assumed that pressure was

a linear function of depth below the hypothetical plane. Subtracting the

elevation of the tested interval from the elevation of the hypothetical

plane at the locations of DST wells produced an equation for pressure that

depends on longitude, latitude, and the tested elevation of the DST.

Page 91: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

77

A trend surface program (Esler and others, 1968) employing the method

of least-mean squares was used to obtain a hypothetical plane for Wolfcamp

ISIP data and separate hypothetical planes for Pennsylvanian ISIP data

located north and south of the Amarillo Uplift. This was done because the

uplift is a major barrier to ground-water flow in the Pennsylvanian System

and pressure-depth data and head data on opposite sides of the uplift

appear to be slightly different. Input to the program included ISIP as

the dependent variable, and longitude, latitude, and elevation of the

tested interval midpoint as independent variables. Output included

coefficients for longitude, latitude, and elevation of the tested interval

midpoint. These coefficients describe the orientation of the planes in a

three-dimensional coordinate system. The coefficient for elevation of the

tested interval midpoint is equal to the regression coefficient (psi/ft) of

the pressure-depth data normalized to the hypothetical plane. Appendix D

details the mathematical equations used to obtain the hypothetical planes.

5.2.2 Hypothetical Wolfcamp Plane

The hypothetical Wolfcamp plane is shown on Figure 5-4. The plane dips

to the northeast and nowhere is higher than actual ground-surface

elevation. When depths of Wolfcamp DSTs are measured from this plane,

excellent correlation of pressure versus normalized depth is obtained.

Figure 5-5 is a pressure-depth diagram plotting culled Wolfcamp data which

have been normalized to the hypothetical plane. As shown on this figure,

the regression line intercepts the Y-axis at a depth approximately equal to

0 feet, as expected. The correlation coefficient is 0.992, and the

regression coefficient is 0.452 psi/ft.

5.2.3 Hypothetical Pennsylvanian Planes

The hypothetical Pennsylvanian planes are shown on Figure 5-6. The

southern plane dips to the northeast at a gradient slightly less than the

hypothetical Wolfcamp plane, whereas the northern plane dips very slightly

to the northwest. The east-west dip reversal of the two planes across the

Amarillo Uplift is not understood, but may be due to the limited study area

east of the current study area is planned.

The normalized pressure-depth diagram for Pennsylvanian data after

culling is shown on Figure 5-7. The correlation coefficient is 0.993 and

the regression coefficient is 0.429 psi/ft for the area south of the

Amarillo Uplift. The correlation coefficient is 0.996 and the regression

coefficient is 0.478 psi/ft for the area north of the Amarillo Uplift.

Both regression lines intercept the Y-axisvat a depth appproximately equal

to 0 feet.

5.2.4 Conclusions and Geologic Implications

Table 5-2 shows that correlation between pressure and depth for

Wolfcamp data and Pennsylvanian data was further improved by normalizing

the data to hypothetical topographic planes. This is shown graphically on

Figures 5-8 and 5-9 where Wolfcamp data are plotted in nonnormalized and

normalized form, respectively. Figures 5-10 and 5-11 show the same

relationships for Pennsylvanian data. Note that normalizing exaggerates

depressured, grossly underpressured, and grossly overpressured data, as

shown on Figures 5-8B and 5-1OB, by eliminating variance due to measuring

depth from varying elevations along the existing topographic surface. This

makes it easier to identify abnormally pressured DSTs. (It should be noted

that the hypothetical planes which Figures 5-8B and 5-1OB are based on are

not shown and contain depressured, grossly underpressured, and grossly

overpressured DSTs. Consequently, the normalized depths shown on these

figures are significantly different than the normalized depths shown on

Figures 5-9B and 5-1lB which are based on the hypothetical planes shown on

Figures 5-4 and 5-6, respectively, and which are based on culled data.)

Normalization of Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian data, as shown on Figures

5-12 and 5-13, respectively, nearly eliminated the gap between the Rolling

Plains and the High Plains regression lines and the difference between

their Y-intercepts. The Y-intercept of the nonnormalized Wolfcamp

regression line for High Plains data is 2,234 feet and the Y-intercept of

the Rolling Plains regression line is 277 feet (Figure 5-12A). After

normalization, the Y-intercept of the High Plains regression line is

-40 feet and the Y-intercept of the Rolling Plains regression line is

The hypothetical planes represent surfaces which maximize correlation

settings. The geologic implications of these relationships are not fully

understood, and these hypothetical planes have not been correlated with any

6 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

6.1 WOLFCAMP AND PENNSYLVANIAN POTENTIOMETRIC SURFACES

6.1.1 General

In accordance with the primary objective of the study, to produce

regional potentiometric surfaces of the Wolfcamp Series and Pennsylvanian

System, three sets of potentiometric-surface maps are presented based on

three levels of data refinement. The maps were constructed using

equivalent freshwater heads based on ISIP values obtained from Class 2 and

3 DSTs. Whenever possible, the few Class 1 DSTs were incorporated into the

potentiometric surfaces by calculating equivalent freshwater heads from

ISIP values obtained from DST charts or Horner plots. Potentiometric

surfaces produced in this manner will be slightly lower than potentiometric

surfaces based on extrapolated formation pressures. This procedure was

necessitated by the inadequate number of Class 1 DSTs available to

construct potentiometric surfaces. Use of this procedure was considered

critical to the determination of horizontal hydraulic gradients in the

Wolfcamp Series and Pennsylvanian System in the proposed repository site

areas because heads based on extrapolated formation pressures when combined

with heads based on ISIPs would produce fallacious gradients.

Figures 4-1 and 4-2 show the present configuration of the Wolfcamp and

Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces, respectively, containing local

temporal potentiometric data due to heads calculated from depressured DSTs

and local aberrant potentiometric data due to heads calculated from grossly

overpressured and grossly underpressured DSTs. The local temporal and

local aberrant potentiometric data create the unrealistic local variations

in hydraulic gradients and flow directions seen on these regional

potentiometric surfaces. The Wolfcamp potentiometric surface is based on

118 head values whereas the Pennsylvanian potentiometric surface is based

on 257 head values.

Figures 4-12 and 4-13 show the configuration of the Wolfcamp and

Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces, respectively, after local temporal

potentiometric data due to heads calculated from depressured DSTs were

culled, but still containing local aberrant potentiometric data due to

Page 107: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

93

heads calculated from grossly overpressured and grossly underpressured

DSTs. The depressured DSTs were performed in localized zones where oil

and/or gas extraction reduced formation pressures and created temporal

pressures that are not transmitted vertically to a great extent. DSTs

performed in these zones record abnormally low ISIP and FSIP values which

may be valid formation pressures but represent temporal pressures in local

depressured zones within a regional flow system that is probably steady

state. The depressured DSTs were culled according to the procedures

described in Section 4.6.1. Twenty-three depressured DSTs were culled from

the Wolfcamp data set, whereas 120 depressured DSTs were culled from the

Pennsylvanian data set. Deletion of depressured DSTs produced

potentiometric surfaces of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian aquifers prior to

oil and gas extraction, but still containing some local aberrant

potentiometric data which, on a regional scale, produced unrealistic

variations in flow directions and hydraulic gradients.

Figures 4-18 and 4-19 are the most refined representation of the

regional Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces, respectively,

after culling local temporal potentiometric data and local aberrant

potentiometric data. The local aberrant potentiometric data were culled

according to the procedures described in Section 4.7.1. Nine grossly

overpressured and 11 grossly underpressured DSTs were culled from the

Wolfcamp data set, whereas 24 grossly overpressured and 10 grossly

underpressured DSTs were culled from the Pennsylvanian data set. Deletion

of these data eliminated the local potentiometric mounds and depressions

seen on Figures 4-12 and 4-13. The occurrence of local grossly

overpressured and grossly underpressured Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian DSTs

did not appear to follow any discernible trends. Their distribution is

similar to the distribution of all the DSTs. This may reflect the sampling

bias that more DSTs are performed around the major oil and gas production

areas, or it may reflect the greater geologic complexity of these areas.

The potentiometric surfaces shown on Figures 4-18 and 4-19 represent the

regional configuration of the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian potentiometric

surfaces, respectively, prior to oil and gas production.

Statistical analysis of the culling procedures, based on linear

regression analysis of pressure-depth data and statistical comparisons of

original head values versus SURFACE II gridded head values, as described in

Page 108: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

94

Section 4.8, showed that most of the refinement in the Wolfcamp and

Pennsylvanian data sets was due to culling depressured DSTs. Some

additional refinement was due to culling local grossly underpressured and

grossly overpressured DSTs.

6.1.2 Wolfcamp Potentiometric Surface

The closed depression seen in the extreme northeast corner of

Figure 4-18 is not an artifact of the computer contouring program. It may

be real and represent a ground-water sink in the Wolfcamp potentiometric

surface, or it may be the result of not having data in adjacent counties to

the north and east of the current study area. Expansion of the study area

to the east into Oklahoma should verify or negate the existence of this

closed depression.

Depending on which DSTs are considered to be grossly overpressured or

grossly underpressured, the direction of the hydraulic gradient in Hartley

County, Texas (latitude 35.8 degrees, longitude 102.5 degrees), can vary

from northwest to southeast or southeast to northwest. Because of this

uncertainty, additional DST data from Dallam and Sherman Counties, Texas

(located due north of Hartley and Moore Counties, Texas), and updated DST

data from other counties in Texas from mid-1981 through early 1983 will be

included in another topical report. The addition of these data should help

clarify the direction of the hydraulic gradient in this area.

Preliminary interpretations indicate that the equipotential patterns

shown on Figure 4-18 appear to be controlled by transmissivity variations

corresponding to facies changes in the Wolfcampian strata, as described in

Section 4.9. Topographic relief across the High Plains/Rolling Plains

escarpment does not appear to influence equipotential patterns in the

Wolfcamp aquifer. However, the general southwest-northeast flow direction

in the Wolfcamp aquifer no doubt is influenced by the general west-east

decrease in topographic elevation from its recharge area to the west, to

its discharge area to the east.

Page 109: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

95

6.1.3 Pennsylvanian Potentiometric Surface

The Pennsylvanian potentiometric surface, as shown on Figure 4-19, also

needs refinement in the area of Hartley County, Texas, and in the area

northeast of the Amarillo Uplift in the Anadarko Basin region where the

identification of depressured, grossly underpressured, and grossly

overpressured DST data was difficult.

Interpretation of the controlling factors influencing the equipotential

patterns shown on Figure 4-19 is difficult because of the poor distribution

of Pennsylvanian potentiometric data. The greater transmissivity of

Pennsylvanian carbonates and granite wash and other coarse-grained clastic

materials along the margins of the Oldham Nose and Amarillo Uplift is

expected to greatly influence equipotential patterns in the Pennsylvanian

aquifer. Topographic relief across the High Plains/Rolling Plains

escarpment is not expected to influence local equipotential patterns in the

Pennsylvanian aquifer. However, the general west-east flow direction shown

on Figure 4-19 is probably influenced by the general west-east decrease in

topographic elevation from its recharge area to the west, to its discharge

area to the east.

6.2 PRESSURE-DEPTH ANALYSES

6.2.1 Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian

Figures 4-4 and 4-5 show that almost all the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian

DST data are underpressured with respect to the range of probable

hydrostatic pressure gradients. The pressure-depth diagrams in Appendix C

show that this relationship also applies to DST data from HSU B and to DST

data from other geologic units in HSU C.

Evaluation of pressure-depth data, and oil and gas field location and

production data, showed that many of the DSTs were performed in oil and gas

production zones. The abnormally low formation pressures recorded in these

DSTs represent temporal pressures in local depressured zones within a

regional flow system that is probably steady state. Deletion of these

local temporal pressures produced a data base that describes pressure-depth

Page 110: Hydrogeologic Investigations Based on ... - NRC: Home Page · Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation Prepared for ... Rolling Plains. This probably is due to differences in the

96

relationships throughout the deep-basin strata. However, this data base,

still contained some local aberrant DST data (Figures 4-12 and 4-13).

Elimination of local aberrant DST data was based on comparison of ISIPs

and heads at a similar depth in the same geologic unit in the same well

and/or in adjacent wells. Deletion of local grossly overpressured and

grossly underpressured data produced a data base that describes regional -a

pressure-depth relationships throughout the deep-basin strata in the study

area (Figures 4-20 and 4-21).

6.2.2 High Plains/Rolling Plains

Figures 5-2 and 5-3 show that pressure-depth data from DSTs performed

in the deep-basin strata consist of two populations: one from the High

Plains and one from the Rolling Plains. The figures show that DST data l

from wells located on the High Plains are far more underpressured than DST

data from wells located on the Rolling Plains. This probably is due to the

greater depth from the ground surface to potentiometric levels in the deep-

basin strata beneath the High Plains compared to the Rolling Plains.

The effect of measuring depth from varying topographic elevations was

minimized by normalizing the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian DST data to common

hypothetical planes. Planar regression of these data produced correlation

coefficients greater than 0.99 and integrated the separate populations from

the High Plains and Rolling Plains (Figures 5-12 and 5-13). The geologic -'

implications of these hypothetical planes are not fully understood.

6.3 ADDITIONAL STUDIES

Performance of additional studies has been mentioned in several

sections of this report. Currently, the following additional studies are

planned: _-

1. Extend the study area into north-central Texas and into the

reported discharge area in south-central (Levorsen, 1967).

2. Further investigate topographic and geologic controls on

equipotential patterns.

3. Investigate the role of brine density variations on pressure-depth

relationships and determine areas and zones of vertical ground-

water movement within the deep-basin strata.

4. Clarify the direction of hydraulic gradients in the area of

Hartley County, Texas.

5. Update the Wolfcamp and Pennsylvanian potentiometric surfaces with

additional DST data from mid-1981 through early 1983.

6. Evaluate the regional hydrodynamics of the deep-basin flow system.

Appendix D. Mathematical Formulation of Hypothetical

Topographic Planes

The hypothetical topographic planes described in Section 5.2 were

calculated by assuming that the hypothetical land surface elevation (z) was

a linear function of longitude (x) and latitude (y), such that

r z = alx + any +al D-1

where a,, a2, and a3 are coefficients describing the plane. It also was

assumed that pressure (p) was a linear function of tested depth below the

surface of the hypothetical plane, such that

p = m(z + [d - h]) D-2

where d is the midpoint of the tested depth interval, h is the actual land

surface elevation, and m is the fluid pressure gradient.

Solving for z in equation D-2, the following equation is obtained:

z = p/m - (d - h) D-3

Equating D-1 and D-3 and solving for p, the following equation is

obtained:

p = almx + a2my,+ m(d - h) + a3m D-4

Treating pressure (ISIP) as the dependent variable and x, y, and (d -

h) as the independent variables, the coefficients a,, a2, and a3 and the

fluid pressure gradient, m, are solved for by linear regression. Table D-1

is a summary of the results obtained.
