The shallow shelf of the Anadarko Basin furnished much gas from the Pennsylvanian and Mississippian reservoirs during the 1950s and 1960s. The search for gas reserves on the shelf will continue to go on for many years, because of the relatively low drilling cost even though the reserves per well on the shelf tend to be limited to about 1 to 3 billion cu ft/well. The much greater reserves of up to 50 billion cu ft/well found in the deeper part of the Anadarko Basin have made the deep Anadarko Basin an enticing area to look for major gas reserves. A regional Hunton map of the deep Anadarko Basin is presented showing fields that are producing from the Hunton and Simpson at depths of more than 15,000 ft. The fields shown on this map represent about 5 trillion cu ft of gas reserve. A generalized section showing only the major features and gross stratigraphic intervals also is presented. A seismic interpretation of the N. Carter structure on which the Lone Star l Baden is drilled is shown, one the seismic Springer structure and the other the seismic Hunton structure. The latter shows the faulting that exists below the Springer level.
