The lower Morrow formation of southern Ellis County, Oklahoma, consists of a thick sequence of lenticular sand and shale deposited in a cyclic transgressive-regressive sequence. Recent significant discoveries in the lower Morrow and attractive economic incentives have made southern Ellis County one of the most active drilling areas in the Anadarko basin.
Increased drilling activity in the area indicates excellent reservoir characteristics, which led to the development of the West Vici field, Northeast Peek field, and the extension of the Higgins field.
The possibilities of stratigraphic entrapment due to the lenticular nature of the lower Morrow sandstone, coupled with excellent producing characteristics of established gas fields, make southern Ellis County a highly potential area for future gas reserves in the Anadarko basin.
