The Arkoma basin of southeastern Oklahoma is characterized by long, steeply folded anticlines, dry gas production, and no oil. One of the most prolific gas reservoirs in the area is the Hartshorne sand, of early Desmoinesian age, productive at 1,000-4,000 ft. This sandstone produces gas in the Poteau-Gilmore Field on the Gilmore anticline, at Cameron Field on the Midland anticline, at Red Oak-Norris on the Brazil anticline, and at Quinton-Carney-Featherston and Kinta Fields on the Kinta anticline. The significance of the ''structural'' accumulation of gas on the Kinta anticline was not fully understood until Pine Hollow Gas Field was discovered. It now appears that the Hartshorne sand is producing from stratigraphic traps in a series of offshore bar deposits that extend from Pine Hollow to Kinta.
