Yeah, lower Vicksburg.

Lots of low perm in this area, but when they frac nicely some of them come in for thirty million or so.

Most of my experience has been in the Pliocene sandstones (30+% porosity and 1-2 darcy perm [yes darcys, not millidarcies!]) and naturally fractured "shales" of the Miocene Monterey Formation.

The Monterey Fm. also happens to be the major source rock in the area too. When you hit a sweet spot, a Monterey well can been particularly prolific. One offshore well, on Platform Hondo, has produced a little over 30 million barrels of oil in the 20 or so years it has been in production - which I believe to be a domestic record. The only problem is that most Monterey-sourced oil are heavy and sour.
