Abstract:
Hydrocarbon production in South Dakota is limited to two small oil fields and one insignificant gas field. In Custer County the Pennsylvanian Minnelusa Formation has produced 183,000 bbl of oil, and in Harding County 2.8 million bbl of oil has been recovered from the Ordovician Red River Formation. Gas from the Dakota and Niobrara Formations in the Pierre field is used locally. Although all the oil has come from Paleozoic strata, a disproportionate number of tests have been limited to the Mesozoic, and only 125 wells have been drilled into rocks older than Pennsylvanian. Oil shows in a stratigraphic section productive in adjacent states suggest that South Dakota qualifies as a possible future petroleum province.
