Title: Blackfoot Field, Anderson County, Texas: ABSTRACT

Author(s): D. O. Branson

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

This paper presents a review of the structure, stratigraphy, and history of the Blackfoot field, Anderson County, Texas.

The Blackfoot producing structure is a relatively small, faulted, elongate, domal, closure situated on an anticlinal trend which extends from northeastern Freestone County through west-central Anderson County into southeastern Henderson County and is known as the Blackfoot-Bradford Tennessee Colony trend.

Productive formations include the Rodessa and Pettit limestones, and the Travis Peak sands of the Trinity group. The productive limits are not defined since the field is only partly developed.

Faulting, although present at Blackfoot, is thought to be of minor significance and known faulting does not effect the local accumulation of gas and oil. Control furnished by development wells shows a typical graben fault pattern; however, the exceptional feature in Blackfoot is the termination of both faults at the point of intersection.
