The Morrow formation is one of the main targets of the drilling activity in Southeast, New Mexico. This paper presents background information including formation lithology derived from X-Ray diffraction data and scanning electron micrographs. Formation rock characteristics such as frac gradients, permeability, porosity and formation water properties are also presented. Completion techniques such as cementing practices, casing programs and perforating programs are reviewed. The stimulation fluids, volumes, injection rates, and types of proppant used are presented to provide an optimum completion program.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
