Gentlemen:
Four canned samples containing water and
hydrocarbons
recovered
during
analysis.
In addition. a
drilling f r o m the Estes Project were submitted for
hydrocarbon
sample of rig diesel was also analyzed. It was requestedthatthe
fluids betopped,deasphalted.
and subjected to liquid and gas chrorratography
in an effortto determine whether the hydrocarbon fluids were relatsd to the
diesel.
Topping showed the fluids f r o m zone B and one of the cans marked"zone C" to
contain 30%-45% volatile hydrocarbons.The
nonvolatile fraction of both samples
consists of 60%-73% hydrocarbons, with saturates and aromatics Fresent in
nearly
equal
concentrations. Only very small quantities of asphaltenes are
present (3%-6%).
Gas chromatography proves
that
the
fluids f r o m zone B and the
above-mentionedsample (1939-003) from zone C are identical with the rig diesel.
The material in theother
can from
zone
C (sample 1939-005) is different,
however. Liquid chromatography yielded only small amounts of hydrocarbons
after removal of about 90% asphaltenes. G a s chromatography of thesaturated
hydrocarbons shows that this sample is not identical with therig diesel. The
distributions of n-alkanes having fewer than about 23 carbon atoms arevery
similar to the diesel sample, but sample 1939-005 also contains a small amountof
sample
heavier material (unlike the diesel sample), It is thusapparentthat
1939-005 represents a mixture of rig diesel with other organic matter.
Theorganic
matter indigenous to sample 1939-005 is ratherrich
in asphaltic
componentsandpoor
inhydrocarbons.Theseresultstentativelysurgestthat
it is either immaturematerial or a tar or solidified bitumen ofsome scrt. It is

unlikely that this material represents a crude oil, although' heavy, asphaltic oils
are common in some areas.Further
analyses on uncontaminated sampleFmight
be helpful in establishing the nature of the indigenous organic matter.

Mr. Leon A. Romero
MAR Oil & Gas Corp.,Inc.
P.O. Box 5155
Santa Fe, NM 87502
RE: MAR 0 & G #1 Estes
Torrance County,New Mexico
Dear Leon:
At your request we sent three canned samplesthe
from
referenced well to
Geochem, Inc. in Houston for headspace and cuttings'gas analysis
for hydrocarbons. You will receive a written report from Geochem in two weeks, but we
thought you might want
a summary of their findings as to
given
me over the
telephone yesterdayby Don Davis. A summary o f their analyses is attached.
The data show that hydrocarbon shows you have encountered
while drilling
are:
1.
Live shows,
2.
Oil shows in samples 1 and 3, and gas shows in sample2, and
3.
There is good evidence to support the contention that these hydrocarbons did not originatein the formations in which they now reside.
Therefore, your objectiveof an o i l reservoir at depth seems reinforce? by
these shows. Sample 3 has a (C,X lOOO)/C, ratio of 87, which compares favorably with surface geochemical anomalies
we mapped on this prospect which ledto
the drillingof the well. Recall that any ratio greater than80 indicates an
oil prone source.
The driller has reported hole deviation problems
in association with
these shows which ,suggests that
the hydrocarbons are coming from fractures
associated with faulting, and that the sourcethe
ofoil noted onthe pits at
310' is a reservoir at.depth. The dissimilarity between headspace and cuttings
gas for sample 3 tends to confirm this.
From other studies we have made
in the Estancia Bas'in the most likely oil
is a gray shale'to siltstone interprone source associated with this structure
val just abovethe Sandia sandstone. All other intervals are either inmature,
lacking. in source material, or are gas
prone. This analysis should helo you
find a partner for the completion
of this well.
Yours truly,
.
