...John Stafford Brown; John A. Emery; Pierrepont Arthur Meyer Abstract In 1952, St. Joseph Lead Company drilled a well on the apex of Hicks Dome in Hardin County, Illinois, primarily to explore for oil or gas, and with the objective of testing the St. Peter sand horizon, which had not been reached...

... by the deposition of Paleozoic sediments and the possible extension Gulfward of the Appalachian orogeny. The problems dealt with in this paper are: (1) the shallow Jurassic and Cretaceous aspect of the Gulf, (2) the widespread extent of the salt and the resultant domes, (3) the lateral or wrench faults...

... and Yegua formations. Discoveries in 1952 were numerous and important collectively, but no single discovery found major reserves. South Hampton, Hardin County, was the most outstanding of 37 new-field discoveries. Salt domes accounted for one-third of the district’s 172 new-pay and extension discoveries...

The Nashville dome is separated from the Jessamine dome of central Kentucky by a low saddle 8 across the Cincinnati arch, and is apparently separated from the southeastern extension of the Ozark dome 9 by a similar saddle—here termed the McNairy-Hardin saddle...

...Michel T. Halbouty; George C. Hardin, Jr. ABSTRACT This paper represents a new kind of research on salt domes. Its primary purpose is (1) to determine the cause of the wide range in the quantity of oil accumulation on various piercement-type salt domes and, (2) to determine if some formula may...

... and two failures. Four of the wells discovered new pools in the Frio below 9,000 feet. These are on the west and northwest flanks of the dome, and most of the subsequent development was in the vicinity of the discoveries. Drilling in this area is expected to continue. The Sour Lake field in Hardin...

In view of these relatively old contributions, it appears that the suggestion and recognition of thrust faults on the flanks of salt domes are not new, and if, as suggested by Halbouty and Hardin, their presence had been accepted 20...
