Abstract:
The Yates field, eastern Pecos County, Texas, is on the crest of a bifurcate domal fold developed in the Permian "Big lime." Subsurface folding in the Permian rocks is reflected by a similar anticlinal feature in the surface Comanche limestones. This dome, on the southwest margin of the Saline Basin geosyncline of West Texas, is a marginal fold on the general line of folding which extends through Upton and Crane counties. Production is from porous limestones near the top of the "Big lime." The prolific production of oil is, in large part, due to the high degree of porosity of the limestones under the influence of high hydrostatic pressure of the water immediately beneath the oil.
