Title: Laredo Gas Play

Abstract: The Laredo Gas Play represents a recent discovery of significant gas reserves. Begun in 1973, the play now covers about 350 square miles. This area has been penetrated by 343 wells resulting in 262 gas wells. Production is from the Lobo Sands occurring in a clastic sequence at the base of the Wilcox formation. The Lobo section is characterized by intense faulting, severe erosion, abnormally high reservoir pressure, and reservoir sands of low permeability. In spite of these complexities, a 2 per Mcf gas price has allowed the play to be commercial. Estimated recoverable reserves could be as high as 5 1/2 trillion cubic feet of gas.
