The Conley Oil Field is in E-central Hardeman County, 1 mile east of Lake Pauline. Anticlinal structure on Ellenburger, Mississippian, and Pennsylvanian horizons appears to trend in a slightly NW-SE direction. A variation in porosity developement occurs in the Palo Pinto limestone and Ellenburger dolomite. The Osage section appears to thicken on the flanks. The Chester sand is a very calcareous, fine-grained sand that grades into a limestone in the northern part of the field. Porosity development seems to be the controlling factor in oil accumulation within this sand bed. It is possible that minor pre-Pennsylvanian faulting exists along the NW side of the field.
