Analysis of satellite and low-altitude remote-sensing imagery over the shoestring sand area demonstrates that the lineaments mapped reflect northeast and northwest trending regional joint sets. A north to south set of lineaments has no corresponding joint set. Surface drainage lineaments in flat Permian sedimentary rocks reflect major subsurface structure formed during Late Mississippian and Pennsylvanian Ouachita deformation. The varied joint patterns over different types of producing fields suggest that secondary recovery rates and induced fracturing direction might vary considerably within this comparatively small area. Joint fractures and remote-sensing lineament studies could be useful in designing recovery projects and oil-field development patterns which consider induced fracture orientations.
