      The Ohio Division of Geological Survey conducted a detailed reservoir characterization of the Silurian “Clinton” sandstone in the East Canton oil field in Ohio to evaluate the potential for CO₂-EOR (enhanced oil recovery). This investigation, in cooperation with private industry, included an 80 ton CO₂ cyclic test (“huff n puff”) in Stark County. The East Canton oil field has produced approximately 95 million barrels of oil through primary recovery since 1947 from approximately 3,100 wells within 175,000 acres. With an estimated 1.5 billion barrels of original oil-in-place, there remains significant “stranded” oil in this nearly depleted but economically promising oil field. There have been no secondary recovery efforts in this mature field because of the tight, heterogeneous nature of this reservoir.
      Regional stratigraphic cross sections were generated across and surrounding the East Canton oil field and correlated to full-diameter cores and published reports to establish the regional “Clinton” sequence stratigraphy and depositional setting…
