Summary

This isopach map shows the thickness of the interval from the top of the Travis Peak or Hosston Formations to the top of the Cotton Valley Group. The map was produced by first subtracting the values of the top of the Travis Peak or Hosston from those of the top of the Cotton Valley Group. This resulted in a data set of 8,585 values for which locations were available. After deleting the wells with obvious data problems, a total of 8414 wells were used to generate the map. The data are provided as both lines and polygons, and the proprietary wells that penetrate this interval are graphically displayed as quarter-mile cells. The well information was initially retrieved from the IHS Energy Group, PI/Dwights PLUS Well Data on CD-ROM, which [...]

Purpose

The map displays an irregular pattern of thick and thin areas, thickest regions being in the southern portion of the Texas part of the map and in a broad area extending across north-central Louisiana into southern Mississippi. One particular area in east-central Louisiana is anomalously thick, but several wells were checked that comprise this area, and no errors in the database were noted. Perhaps there is thickening due to repeated section from faulting, but a more likely cause is that the area received a large input of sediment from the ancestral Mississippi River. Syndepositional movement of salt in underlying Jurassic units may have also contributed to the localization of depocenters.
