Title: Regional Setting of Pennsylvanian and Mississippian Production in Southwestern Kansas: ABSTRACT

Author(s): Tomlinson, Kathol, Emmerich

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

Exploration for oil and gas in southwestern Kansas is being accelerated. Production is being obtained chiefly from sands of lower Pennsylvanian age and from limestones of upper and middle Mississippian age.

This region is an arm or embayment of the Anadarko Basin, sometimes called the Hugoton embayment or Dodge City basin.

Slides showing the structure on the top of the Arbuckle, Mississippian, and Lansing, and one of the interval, Lansing to Arbuckle, are presented to show the regional geology of the area. Some of the more important characteristics of the producing fields are briefly discussed.
