Synopsis

This book details the author's investigation into the producing horizon in the Rios Well in Caldwell County. The book combines data from the United States Geological Survey and the Bureau of Economic Geology and Technology of The University of Texas. The author also includes his own descriptions of samples from the well. By identifying samples of Ramshorn shells the author places the bottom of the Del Rio formation at 2176 feet and identifies the underlying rock as belonging to the Georgetown-Edwards series of limestones - which is where the well's production originates. The author concludes an examination of other wells in the area confirm his findings and further notes that this series of limestones has also produced oil in other parts of Texas. The book, with its detailed descriptions of samples, provides a valuable addition to works on the subject of oil production.
