Burkburnett oil field/ Wichita County oilfields (incl Electra)

[edit]

I'm surprised the North Texas oil fields don't get much coverage here. So here's a start:

Let's see, are these in the County writeup?: Nope. And. If anything, Geology_of_Wichita_Falls,_Texas#Oil_and_Gas_Resources is even more pitiful: "Petroleum resources were discovered in the region in the early 1900s, and the area remains a locus of exploration and production." OK!

So, "Wichita County would eventually produce over 827,590,411 barrels of oil which defined the economic development of North Texas during the twentieth century: Oi Boom! --a "Supergiant" field in oilfield terms, and with a present value ($US 50/bbl) of circa $US 4 billion!

Current prodxn is less but still substantial. For 2012-2013: source [1]

  • Wichita County 2.1 MM bbl
  • Archer County 1.15 MM bbl

Further east

I presume the oilfield guys work like we miners used to: "the best place to find oil is where oil was found before" ...
