Figure 1. Present-day structural cross-section showing log-based lithostratigraphic correlation of the San
Andres reservoir interval in Vacuum field. The reservoir was originally subdivided into 4 major lithologic
units: 1) the porous "lower San Andres" carbonates (LSA), 2) the Lovington sandstone (LVSS), 3) the
porous "upper San Andres" carbonates (USA), and 4) one or more other sandstones in the upper San
andres (SASS). The "lower San Andres" was recognized as being the best and most continuous reservoir.
