The Spraberry Trend (also known as the Spraberry Field, Spraberry Oil Field, and Spraberry Formation; sometimes erroneously written as Sprayberry) is a large oil field in the Permian Basin of West Texas, covering large parts of six counties, and having a total area of approximately 2,500 square miles (6,500 km2). It is named for Abner Spraberry, the Dawson County farmer who owned the land containing the 1943 discovery well. The Spraberry Trend is itself part of a larger oil-producing region known as the Spraberry-Dean Play, within the Midland Basin. Discovery and development of the field began the postwar economic boom in the nearby city of Midland in the early 1950s. The oil in the Spraberry, however, proved difficult to recover.

  • Le gisement de Spraberry (Spraberry Trend) est un grand champ pétrolifère du Bassin permien au centre-ouest du Texas, couvrant en partie six comtés, pour une surface totale d'environ 6 500 km2. Il est nommé d'après Abner Spraberry, le fermier du comté de Dawson propriétaire du terrain ou fut installé le puits qui a découvert le gisement en 1943. Le gisement de Spraberry est lui-même une partie d'une plus large région productrice appelée Spraberry-Dean Play, dans le . L'exploitation de ce gisement a réellement débuté lors du boom économique d'après-guerre (début des années 1950), en particulier depuis la ville voisine de Midland. Le pétrole de ce gisement fut toutefois difficile à extraire. Après trois années enthousiastes de forage, au cours desquelles la plupart des puits initialement prometteurs ont enregistré des baisses de production rapides et mystérieuses, la région a été surnommée « la plus grande réserve mondiale de pétrole irrécupérable » (« the world's largest unrecoverable oil reserve »). En 2007, le département de l'Énergie des États-Unis a classé le gisement de Spraberry troisième en termes de réserves prouvées, et septième au niveau de production total. Les estimations totales pour le la zone Spraberry-Dean dépassent 10 milliards de barils (1,6 milliard de mètres cubes), et jusqu'à la fin de 1994, 924 millions de barils (146,9 millions de mètres cubes) ont été extraits.

Discovery and development of the field began the postwar economic boom in the nearby city of Midland in the early 1950s. The oil in the Spraberry, however, proved difficult to recover. After about three years of enthusiastic drilling, during which most of the initially promising wells showed precipitous and mysterious production declines, the area was dubbed "the world's largest unrecoverable oil reserve." In 2007, the U.S. Department of Energy ranked The Spraberry Trend third in the United States by total proved reserves, and seventh in total production. Estimated reserves for the entire Spraberry-Dean unit exceeded 10 billion barrels (1.6×109 m3), and by the end of 1994, the field had reported a total production of 924 million barrels (146,900,000 m3).
