Title: The Turkey Mountain Lime Pools, Oklahoma

Author(s): Paul Ruedemann, H. E. Redmon (2)

Abstract:

The "Turkey Mountain lime" consists of three members as distinguished by color: an upper brown, a middle gray, and a lower white. The three together average about 60 feet in thickness. Because of the unconformity at the top the whole section is seldom found.

Production from this lime declines rapidly in the initial stage, but generally declines slowly in the settled stage. The ultimate yield is about 8,000 barrels per acre. Production conforms to geological structure and there is no record of synclinal producing wells. The eroded Turkey Mountain surface is undoubtedly the origin of many "Wilcox" structures. The source of the oil is probably from the black and green shales at the bottom of the Hominy (Burgen) sand or from the "Turkey Mountain lime" itself.
