Title: Sand Hills Area, Western Crane County, Texas: ABSTRACT

Author(s): Elliot H. Powers

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

The Sand Hills area of western Crane County includes two pools, the Tubb and McKnight, in which production is obtained from Permian dolomite. In a third small area on the northwest side of the Tubb pool, three wells have encountered flush production of high-gravity oil in the upper portion of the Lower Ordovician dolomite, and two small wells produce from a sandstone member of the Simpson, having failed in the Lower Ordovician.

Lower Permian dolomite lies unconformably on the eroded surface of a seemingly complex structural system, which involves Lower and Middle Ordovician sediments. Intermediate beds of probably Upper Ordovician, Silurian, and Devonian ages, respectively, appear in a test which was drilled approximately eight miles southeast of the Ordovician producing area.
