Abstract:

The Depew area of Creek County, Oklahoma, is southwest of Bristow and includes two small pools and scattered clusters of wells. Surface structure is mapped with some difficulty owing to the fact that the sandstones and shales have weathered to a heavy soil cover with few and widely separated rock exposures. The eastern half of the area shows uniform westward dip, but the western half is broken by a series of en echelon faults with two small anticlines in Sections 8, 9, and 16. Subsurface structure in the Poor Farm and Depew fields shows small, gently dipping anticlines with the main axis north-south. Subsurface structures mapped on the Hogshooter lime, the Checkerboard lime, the base of the Layton sand, the base of the Bartlesville sand, and the top of the "Wilcox" sand, ary but little, but show a westward shifting of the axis of the fold. Production in the area is from the Layton, Cleveland, Prue, Dutcher, and "Wilcox" sands.
