Abstract
The Carter Anticline, Beckham and Washita Counties, Oklahoma
ABSTRACT
The Carter anticline is a large, reverse-faulted structure on the Beckham-Washita county line just south of the giant Elk City Field in Western Oklahoma. The Carter anticline is a true anticline that occupies a structurally intermediate fault
block along the highly deformed Wichita mountain front. Due to the timing of the growth of this structure and the migration of hydrocarbons through the Pennsylvanian granite wash, only the lower part of the Hoxbar (Missourian) section appears to be prospective. Porous and permeable beds in the lower Hoxbar are thin and tight over the crest of the anticline, thereby creating a stratigraphic
trap
along the north and west flanks. The southeast flank of the structure remains untested.
