Petroleum exploration in the Salina basin in north-central Kansas (Lee, 1956) has met with limited success to date. Except for in its extreme southern end in McPherson and Saline counties and its eastern flank in Clay County, the basin has had no fields discovered in over 60 years of drilling. The failure to find significant reserves in the Salina basin no doubt discourages all but the boldest explorationist. Exploration test wells have been drilled infrequently, and consequently large areas encompassing almost entire counties remain untested. The Salina basin is therefore one of the least-known areas in Kansas with respect to its petroleum potential.
The Salina basin may never be a prolific petroleum province; nevertheless, it could contain oil and gas fields which could be economic and interesting to small oil companies and local communities. The Forest City basin in northeast Kansas is geologically similar in many ways to the Salina basin (Lee, 1956). Many small oil and gas fields are present in the Forest City basin and still more are being discovered. Similar types of fields are therefore possible in the Salina basin.
Wildcatters prospecting for petroleum in areas far from known oil fields must do everything possible to maximize their chances for success. At the same time, they must conserve their expenses in what could be a costly drilling program if no reserves are found. In areas such as the Salina basin, where widely spaced wells limit the amount of geologic control available, gleaning as much information as possible from each well is very important. Hydrocarbon shows that have been logged in previously drilled wells represent a potentially important source of information.
Oil and gas shows per se are not proof that commercial quantities of petroleum will be discovered, but they do indicate where geologic conditions favorable for petroleum formation were fulfilled, if only to a small degree. When used in conjunction with other geologic data, hydrocarbon shows (or the lack of them) can be useful in assessing the petroleum potential of individual prospects or entire basins. Thus, exploration dollars can be spent more wisely if hydrocarbon shows are taken into account.
This data search was initiated in December 1985, to ascertain if any petroleum shows are present in wells drilled in the Salina basin, and, if so, to determine where these shows are concentrated and which stratigraphic horizons generate them. The data sources used in this compilation are available in the Minerals Information Center at the Kansas Geological Survey in Lawrence, Kansas. Three types of source documents were queried for the 1,224 wells in the study area-scout cards, driller's logs, and lithologic-strip logs. Other sources of information such as geologic reports available in the library of the Kansas Geological Society in Wichita may yield additional data but were not included in this report.
The following information was gathered about each show: operator and well name, spot location, county, completion date, surface datum, depth interval, formation, and type of show. The type of show is described using the comments contained in the original source document. Abbreviated oil-field terms are the descriptors commonly used in characterizing these shows [e.g., SSO (slight show oil), OCM (oil-cut mud), GCM (gas-cut mud), etc.]. Wherever possible in this report, the show description is conveyed verbatim from the source document, with perhaps only minor changes in spelling. A glossary of the stratigraphic abbreviations and oil-field terms used in this report (appendix 1) precedes the compilation of hydrocarbon shows (appendix 2).
The shows are separated into three groups according to the nature of the source document (scout card, driller's log, lithologic log). Within each group, shows are separated into those present in the west ranges versus those in the east ranges. Within this hierarchy, wells are filed according to their location by township, range, and section. Shows reported in documents other than scout cards, driller's logs, and lithologic logs are reported at the end of the compilation for the west ranges. Areas close to existing oil fields were ignored by excluding any oil shows found within the quarter-township containing a known oil or gas field, or segment of a field.
The number and distribution of oil shows are, in part, a function of the number and location of wells drilled in the basin. The distribution of dry holes and oil fields within the Salina basin is shown on the map accompanying this report (figure 1; in back pocket). Other information, such as total depth and deepest formation penetrated by each well, are not included. Factors such as experience and alertness of the observer of course cannot be estimated.
Figure 2 is based on figure 1 and graphically summarizes oil shows and drilling density for several subdivisions of the Salina basin. In this figure, the interior of the basin is divided into several subdivisions. Each subdivision is approximately four by four townships (approximately 575 mi2; 1,490 km2) , except where smaller subdivisions were used along the periphery of the study area. The relative number of wells and oil shows in different parts of the basin easily can be compared by inspection of pie charts that summarize drilling in each subdivision.

The number of petroleum shows within this relatively nonproductive basin is surprising. In the west ranges over the deepest part of the basin, most of the oil shows occur in lower Paleozoic units, namely the Simpson, Viola, and Maquoketa formations (Ordovician). These shows appear scattered, but a small group is concentrated just north of the Salina field in northeastern Saline County. The major pay zones in this field are the Maquoketa and Viola formations. Oil and gas shows in the Mississippian "chat," the major reservoir unit farther south in the northern Sedgwick basin, are conspicuously absent in the western part of the Salina basin. Similarly, shows also are rare in the Cambrian-Ordovician Arbuckle Group, a major pay horizon to the west on the Central Kansas uplift. Pennsylvanian Lansing-Kansas City oil shows are common on the extreme western fringe of the Salina basin and are probably related to possible prospective areas peripheral to Lansing-Kansas City production trends on the Central Kansas uplift. Gas shows indicate no discernible trends and are scattered over the Salina basin. Gas shows are most common in Permian units.
The distribution of oil and gas shows indicates that in order to maximize chances of success, a wildcat well in the western and central part of the Salina basin should at least penetrate the top of the Arbuckle Group. By drilling to this horizon, the lower Paleozoic units in which most shows occur will be tested.
Previous investigations by Landes and Jewett (1939) reported several seeps of kerosene-like oil in Smith County in the western side of the Salina basin. These authors attributed these seeps to natural origins, but the transitory occurrence of the seeps and the unusual lightness of the oil militate against their natural occurrence. No good correlation could be established between the well shows in this report and the surface seeps reported by Landes and Jewett (1939).
The best oil show in a well in the west ranges away from the Central Kansas uplift may have occurred in northwestern Lincoln County at the Red Bank Oil #1 Brown well in sec. 35, T. 10 S., R. 10 W. Although Survey records state this well was dry, local residents maintain that the well produced minor amounts of commercial oil that was transported by wagon to a nearby railroad-freight depot until 1926, when the well was shut down due to lack of saltwater-disposal facilities (Les Stephens, personal communication, 1985). This well (renamed the #1 Sulsar) was re-entered in 1985 by Stephens Resource Company, and a minor amount of oil was seen in drilling mud after the well was acidized. The well, however, could not be cleaned out and brought into production. In April 1986, the well was again re-entered and successfully deepened by Mid-American Hydrocarbons Company, but detailed examination of geophysical logs, sidewall cores, and drill cuttings did not reveal any significant shows.
Hydrocarbon shows in the east ranges of the Salina basin are more numerous and complicated than those in the west ranges. Mississippian shows are the most common and are largely concentrated in Dickinson, Clay, Geary, and northern Morris and Marion counties. These shows generally occur near the top of pre-Chesteran Mississippian limestones at the sub-Pennsylvanian unconformity. Several other oil shows are recorded from the Silurian-Devonian "Hunton" group, as well as other lower Paleozoic units. Some of these shows occur where these older units are directly subjacent to the sub-Pennsylvanian angular unconformity.
Several Lansing-Kansas City oil shows occur in the southeastern part of the Salina basin and seem to be spatially coincident with deeper Mississippian shows. These shows, like the Mississippian shows, may be related to concentrations of hydrocarbons along north-northeast-south-southwest-trending structures aligned subparallel to the Nemaha uplift and Humboldt fault zone. Several shows in the Mississippian section along the sub-Pennsylvanian unconformity and within the Pennsylvanian section in the southeast part of the basin are significant (e.g., free oil recovered in drill-stem tests, etc.). These strong shows give encouragement that this area may be prospective for undiscovered oil fields.
Oil shows in the lower Paleozoic section not associated with the sub-Pennsylvanian unconformity in the east ranges are not as common or as strong as the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian shows. Like oil shows in the west ranges though, oil shows in the east ranges are widely scattered and are largely concentrated in the Viola, Maquoketa, and Simpson formations. Gas shows, like those in the west ranges, are mostly concentrated in the Permian strata.
The most surprising oil shows in the east ranges occur in Precambrian clastic rocks possibly associated with the Central North American rift system (CNARS). Wells with Precambrian shows include the Veeder #1 Gravenstein well in sec. 21, T. 8 S., R. 6 E. (Riley County), the Marshall County Syndicate #1 C. Finn well in sec. 4, T. 4 S., R. 7 E. (Marshall County), the Welton Oil #1 Thierer well in sec. 20, T. 10 S., R. 7 E. (Riley County), the Seevers #1 Livingood well in sec. 13, T. 13 S., R. 2 E. (Dickinson County), and the Nemaha Oil and Gas #1 Seneca well in sec. 19, T. 3 S, R. 11 E. (Nemaha County). The #1 C. Finn well reported oil and gas shows in "bituminous shales" and sands over a 600-ft interval. The #1 Seneca well is not located over the trend of the CNARS, therefore the presence of shows in the Precambrian section is unexpected.
Very few wells have been drilled into the Central North American rift system; hence, its hydrocarbon potential is largely unknown. The shows present in these extremely old rocks, although minor, are nevertheless encouraging. Companies generating prospects targeted for potential Paleozoic reservoirs should therefore be cognizant of potentially prospective deeper strata if they are exploring in areas over or near the rift.
