Abstract
Strandlines of the Chamberlain Sands (Lower Frio Formation) of South Texas
Abstract
Two distinctive sands of the lower Frio Formation are encountered in the subsurface along a narrow trend over four South Texas counties (). The updip pinchout of these sands and small up-to-the-basin faulting account for the trapping of several excellent oil fields and many smaller, one- or two-well fields along this trend. Stratigraphic traps along the pinchout are extremely elusive and narrow and have occasioned many a dry hole, nevertheless, the excellent per well primary oil recoveries indicated by the productive history together with present new oil prices would seem to justify continued exploration, and a perservering search can be very rewarding. The narrowness of the trend also offers the advantage of leasing only a small amount of acreage and is therefore of particular attraction to independents.
