..., producing from horizons in the Middle Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous; (3) Oelheim-Eddesse, north of Peine, producing from horizons in the Upper Triassic, Lower and Middle Jurassic; and (4) Wietze, west of Celle, producing chiefly from the Lower Cretaceous. In some of these fields production from surface...

... of oil and gas, the writer lists 64 Saxon Zechstein salt occurrences. The most important oil fields, which also produce gas, are Wietze-Steinforde, Hanigsen-Nienhagen, Oelheim-Berkhopen, and Oberg. The principal producing horizons are in the Comanche, Jurassic, and Liassic. Gas does not occur as a “gas...

..., Hiinigsen, Fuhrberg, Rodewald, and the Heide fields. The afore mentioned fields together with Oberg, Oelheim and Eichlingen are the only fields whose cumulative production exceeds one million barrels. Table I. OIL PRODUCTION BY DISTRICTS Oil-Producing District Number of Fields Cumulative...

... to accumulate around the salt, especially in the fissures bordering the plug. This seems quite plausible as an explanation of the few small oil fields of NW Europe: Wietze and Oelheim. Here saline cores traverse the “Wealden” beds at the base of the Cretaceous, which contain highly bituminous csiuariue shales...

...Walter Kauenhowen Abstract: In Germany there are three different oil provinces, namely, the North German, the Rhenish, and the Subalpine. A geological summary of these provinces is given. The different oil fields are described as to the stratigraphy and structure. An explanation is given...

... is unclamped and moved to a position where the line dividing the light and dark portions of the field (border line of total reflection) approximately bisects the cross hairs of the telescope. The compensator drum (for neutralizing dispersion effects) is then adjusted until the dividing line just begins to show...

... to the salt domes of Texas and Louisiana, and in the second place oil is found in many places on their flank zones, as in Texas and Louisiana (Wietze-Steinförde, Hänigsen, Oelheim). Their genesis has been the most disputed question of all the German salt occurrences. They show special peculiarities as to: ( 1...

.... Although ocean temperatures are somewhat variable even at depths of 100 meters ( 16 ), the temperature at which source materials are deposited is probably between 0° and 20°C. The temperatures of the rocks in oil fields are well known. In other locations they must be estimated from the average geothermal...

... fall five salt domes and two oil fields not known to be salt domes. The problems of the American salt domes, as the writer sees them, are listed in Table I . Although seemingly somewhat exhaustive, the list is far from complete. Detailed attention to an analysis of each of the problems...
