Title: Application of Trend Analysis to Pre-Morrow Surface, Southeastern Hugoton Embayment Area, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas

Author(s): Martin W. Schramm, Jr. (2)

Abstract:

Trend analysis is a technique used to differentiate trends which may influence a whole region and trends which are influential locally. Because most oil and gas fields are associated with anomalies, trend analysis can prove to be an important prospecting tool.

The electronic computer is used by the oil industry for application of trend analysis and numerous other techniques to large areas. A procedure involving the computer has the advantages of being more exact than more elementary methods and taking considerably less time.

Application of the technique to the pre-Morrow surface in the southeastern part of the Hugoton embayment, using few control wells, reveals objectively the combined residual topographic and structural relief that existed after folding at the end of Mississippian time but before Pennsylvanian deposition.
