LOCATION FOR OIL TEST
IN HUGHES COUNTY

Okmulgee Democrat: Explorations
for oil in the Oklahoma fields have re.
peatedly shown that structural domes
are the most promising places 10 bore
for oil, ordinary inclines being next
best. BY far tho greater part of the
oil produced in the state comes from
domes or anticlines; hence they are
coveted objects of the geologists' search.
In the course OF recent geologic exam.
nations by the United States Geological
Survey, in cooperation with the Office
OF Indian Affairs Department OF the In.
terior. "a number of structural domes In
the rocks have been found by Heath NJ.
Robinson. OF the Geological Survey. one
of these is in T. sn. II. loe, Hughes
county. This dome is described as fol
lows by Mr.. Robinson, who offers sug'
gestions AS TO the location OF tests with
the drill and as TO sands which may
be- found within certain depths.
The peak Of this structural dome is
about 1900 feet north and about 900
feet west of the southeast corner OF
section 10, T. Sn. II. Zoe. From this
high point the rocks dip southeastward
at Il rate of 30 feet to the thousand, to
n point Zoo feet north and about 100
feet west of the southeast corner Of
section 10. r. sn. l0e. The reverse dip
amounts to about 30 feet, and as the
reverse dip here Is the minimum re.
versal. the structure is closed by that
amount, technically speaking. From
the peak the rocks dip toward the south,
also. to "A point about 100 feet south and
900 feet west Of the southeast corner Of
section 10, a distance of about 200
feet the dip in this distance amounting
to about 60 feet. The normal dip In this
vicinity is toward the west and north,
From the peak the rocks dip toward
the west to a point about $500 feet
north of the southwest corner of section
l9. distance of about 1900 feet the dip
in this distance amounting to about 90
feet Northward from the peak the
rocks dip so feet in passing 20 poin,
about 300 feet west Of the northeast
cOgnc.' of section Is, distance of about
1900 feet. The axis of folding inter
sects the following points: 4 point
about $500 feet north of the northeast
corner of section IS; point about 700
feet west of the northeast corner OF
section Is: point about 1900 feet
west of the southeast corner Of section
IS; the high point of the dome, the
location of which is given above; point
half mile west and about 700 feet
north of the southeast corner of section
10: and point with about the position
of the southwest corner Of section 10
Taking into consideration the surface
beds that crop out near the dome and
the porous sands found In test holes
that have been drilled within 10 miles
of il; ii Is probable that eight or more
sands. 20 TO 60 feet thick, separated
by thick bodies of shale and thir
shells" of hard rock, will be found in
drilling to a depth Of 5000 feet
The recommendations made by the
Survey of course do not guarantee that
oil or gas will be found in the areas
described but Il is believed that losses
by futile drilling will be materially
reduced If the test for this area is
drilled at the location given above.
