A cross section of wells in the Santa Maria field, California(see PL I), shows a combination of Californian conditions with oiland gas in a sand reservoir and also in a shale reservoir. Oil and gas occur in sand reservoirs in both the salt dome and the stratum oil fields of the Gulf border of Louisiana and Texas. Forexample, Harris33 mentions a well in the Anse La Butte dome,Louisiana, which produced 2,400 to 2,700 barrels of oil daily, includ-ing fine sand and about 35 per cent water. Another well penetrated agas stratum that produced a large amount of gas, blew water andsand out in great quantities and buried the machinery 5 feet the Bull Bayou field of Louisiana and the Burkburnett field ofTexas fine-grained sand is a constant source of trouble in pumpingwells.
