Abstract

The Leonardian Spraberry Formation is a major oil-producing formation of the Permian Basin, accounting for more than 700 million barrels of oil produced from heterogeneous submarine-fan reservoirs. Extensive exploration and development of the Spraberry and deeper reservoirs provide the opportunity to establish the sedimentary evolution of a fan cone fed only by relatively small rivers and windblown sediment in a tectonically inactive setting.
