Alabama's Hottest Oil Play Reivew

Over 70 wells drilled in the last eight years "only a handful have not been successful," says David Bolin, assistant oil and gas supervisor for the Alabama Oil and Gas board. Bolin says the rock formation that traps the oil in the Cedar Creek field is not the usual type that seeps into a limited, dome-shaped area. It ranges over a much wider area, at a depth of over 12,000 feet, at the top of the Smackover formation. Because of the unusual nature of the trapping mechanism, says Bolin, early seismic studies failed to detect the field's potential. Hunt Oil Co. discovered the field in 1994 but drilled only one well and sold the field to Midroc in 2000. The field had racked up a total of 7.6 million barrels of oil by end of 2008, becoming the state's largest producing field in 2005 and reversing the declining trend in the state's total oil production from 1999 to 2004.
