Not illustrated. 1920 Excerpt: ... the base of the Permian, at a depth from the surface of 650 750 feet. Beneath the Permian, there are limestones and dark shales considered as Pennsylvanian. Some showings of oil have been found in them. The field is situated on an anticlinal fold (further mentioned in Part VII). The first wells were drilled in 1913. A number of good producers have been obtained during the past two or three years. Their capacity ranges from 6 to 20 million cubic feet of gas per day. Walters Oilfield (Cotton County) In the northeast part of Cotton County, about 20 miles south of the Lawton field, a new oilfield is being developed. The rocks at the surface belong to the Red Beds of the Permian, but as the production is at 2,100-2,500 feet, the oil and gas probably are in the Pennsylvanian. The discovery was made in 1918, and there is now, at the close of 1919, a large production of gas, and a daily output of 6,000 barrels of oil. The gas wells are of fairly large capacity, and a number of the oil wells have initial yields of several hundred barrels a day. Recently a well was brought in at 2,000 barrels a day. Healdton Oilfield (Carter County) The Healdton field lies southwest of the Arbuckle Mountains, the development extending to within eight miles of the outcrops of the older rocks. The surface, which is of a rolling character with elevations 850 to 1,000 feet, is occupied by the Permian red rocks. The exposures show alternating beds of red and grey clay-shale, brown, white and red sandstone, and thin beds of conglomerate. They appear to be of estuarine or fluviatile deposition. Some plant remains and bones of animal are found. The oil and gas occur in many seams, but there is a group of three or more principal sands with a thickness of 250 feet, the top of which is 600-950...
