The Kaufman #2 well (Russell County, Kansas) is located in the North Trapp field, on the eastern flank of the Central Kansas uplift (Fig. 1, Table 1). The existing type log from the collection assembled by the Kansas Geological Society (1966) ends at the base of the Pennsylvanian, which precludes identification of deeper strata on other well logs in Russell County. Strata such as the Pennsylvanian Hushpuckney Shale Member, which gives a distinctive gamma ray signal useful in correlation, and the Ordovician Arbuckle Group, a productive horizon in Russell County, are left out of the current type log.
Figure 1--Map of Russell County, Kansas, with oil and gas fields shown (green is oil, red is gas, orange is oil and gas). Large oil field at south-central part of county is North Trapp field, type log location indicated by red dot.
Stratigraphic horizons on the type log are based on data from the older Russell County type log and deeper type logs in surrounding counties and include strata down to the top of the Arbuckle Group (Lower Ordovician). Furthermore, the stratigraphic horizons reflect modifications made to the nomenclature and classification of the stratigraphy of the lower Upper Pennsylvanian in Kansas from the conventions set in 1968 (Heckel and Watney, 2002).
The type log uses gamma ray and neutron tracks recorded from 0 to 3,500 feet and gamma ray and neutron density tracks recorded from 2,100 to 3,500 feet.
