Title: Review of Developments in 1939, Gulf Coast of Upper Texas and Louisiana

Author(s): O. L. Brace (2)

Abstract:

The discovery record for 1939 has again failed to keep pace with the more successful years prior to 1938. Of the 23 new fields listed, it is probable that no more than three or four will ultimately justify a major rating. The intensive activity that was anticipated for the Wilcox zone has resulted in the discovery of only one new field and the deepening to production in this zone in two fields already producing from younger sands.

Low-relief traps associated with faulting have become an increasingly important source of new reserves. An explanation is offered as to the possible relationship of these structural types to major salt movements.

The development of important oil deposits on the flanks of old producing fields has been an outstanding feature of the year.
