The principal conclusions of this study are as follows: (1) The Hunton Group is absent by erosion in the northwestern, northern, and northeastern parts of the study area; erosion before deposition of the Frisco and Woodford removed the Lower Devonian, leaving only the Silurian rocks of the Hunton Group. (2) The oolitic Keel Formation of the Chimneyhill Subgroup probably is absent from the area, but the dolomitic lowermost unit of the Hunton may be equivalent to the Keel. (3) Faulting and folding are strongly correlated with development of porosity and permeability within the Hunton. (4) Parts of the study area are believed to have been a karst paleotopography that evolved in conjunction with a well developed dendritic system. (5) No oil or gas fields have been discovered along the subcrop edge of the Hunton within the study area. (6) At least 18 fields have established commercial production from the Hunton Group within the study area.
