Stewart, G F

The Lippoldt Field is located within a broad band of truncated Mississippian rocks that dip gently southwestward from the flank of the Central Kansas uplift into the Hugoton embayment of the Anadarko basin. Relief on the top of Mississippian rocks seemingly is due to folding and to post-Mississippian, pre-Cherokee erosion. In structurally high parts of the Lippoldt Field, the Warsaw limestone lies beneath Pennsylvanian rocks, whereas in some structurally low wells that flank this oil field, such as the well in the NE.-NE. Sec. 15, the Salem (Spergen) limestone lies above the Warsaw and beneath the Pennsylvanian. Production is restricted to the Warsaw limeston which, in the discovery well, Texaco No. 1 Lippoldt, is 48 ft of light gray to buff, sucrosic to medium crystalline, fossiliferous dolomitic limestone containing drusy quartz and quartzose chert, and brown, fossiliferous dolomite.
