This map was prepared to provide an objective look at the effect of regional geology on oil and gas accumulation. By superimposing a surface oil field map upon a subsurface map showing the major structural features of Texas, a striking illustration of the relationship between structure and accumulation is achieved.
Those structural features that have had a direct impact in producing the environment necessary for the formation of oil pools are described briefly below; major features that have had an indirect effect or possess geological interest only are outlined on the map without further description.
Large scale colorful map illustrating the various oil fields and geologic structures of Texas. Includes a legend explaining the characteristics and specifics of each geological region of the state. Distinct regions labeled include:
