... the adjacent shale and have seeped into the very porous outer layers of the serpentine. The rapid decline of the field may also be interpreted as evidence of the local source of the oil. The Thrall field has been short lived as compared with other fields in the same formation. Corsicana for instance has...

... subsurface sections of the Cherokee Group were subjected to a geological and organic-geochemical study. One section is located in the Burbank oil field, Osage County, Oklahoma, and the other in the Thrall oil field, Greenwood County, Kansas. Both fields are productive from shoestring-sand reservoirs...

...E. H. Sellards ABSTRACT Oil produced in commercial quantities from igneous rock in the Cretaceous formations of the Gulf Coastal Plain of Texas is obtained from eight fields as follows: Thrall, Chapman, Yoast, Lytton Springs, Dale, Buchanan, Lytton Springs townsite, and Schimmel-Batts. Showings...

...Fig. 6 —Thrall oil field, Williamson County, Texas. North-south cross section (after Udden and Bybee, 1916 , Pl. 3) of serpentinized limburgite body, which is interpreted to have slumped into Taylor sea in response to end of Austin (Santonian) submarine faulting. ...

... environments are more likely to occur in the vicinity of large faults where rapid burial allows preservation of the organic matter. The following points appear to be relevant to exploration thinking. The occurrence of large oil accumulations such as the Payoa field, Colombia, which is far from any...

... not found any oil in commercial quantities in igneous rocks in the United States. The finding of oil in igneous rocks in the Thrall field was an unusual occurrence. This field is, as you know, located in the eastern part of Williamson County. This county is underlain by sediments of Cretaceous age more than...

.... The commercial return from a large exploration investment has been disappointing to date but the chapter is not yet complete. Gas has been found in abundance, yet the Moonie field remains the only oil field of consequence. Moonie and Alton oil are reaching the market but gas still awaits a gathering network...

...H. M. Thralls ABSTRACT Many measurements of physical properties are made in bore holes which are used by geologists as geological information. These physical properties are accepted without question as aids to the application of geologic principals in the search for and development of oil fields...

... uplift is still yielding results in small but profitable oil fields. Some discussion of present techniques used in Kansas and in the poor record area of the Anadarko Basin is given. Some coverage of both states has been made by aerial magnetic work but facts on such coverage are difficult to obtain due...

... in Post-Cretaceous times. But there is also evidence that volcanic activities were in progress here during the Upper Cretaceous. Extrusives are known to occur interbedded in the sediments of the Upper Cretaceous age in the vicinity of Austin and in the Thrall oil field. Tectonic movements no doubt were...

... well per day, while in the Burkett it was only 64 barrels. The decline will probably be rather slow as most of the fields in this part of the state which produce from the same sand horizon have held up remarkably well. The oil is of high gravity, which makes it possible to operate a lease until...
