in secs. 4, 10, 11, 13, and 14, T. 43 N.,
R. 92 W., Hot Springs County. The field is
on the long, narrow Lake Creek anticline.
Murphy Dome and Black Mountain parallel
the structure to the east, and Kirby Creek and
Zimmerman Butte are almost on echelon to
the west. Although the structure has at least
800 feet of independent closure, it is thought
that the oil did not accumulate as a result ofthis closure. The Frontier is exposed on the
surface at an average elevation of 4,765 feet.
Oil-saturated zones in both the Embar and
Tensleep formations were found in a well
drilled in the NE1/4, sec. 14 in May 1949. The
well was not placed on production until No-
vember 1949 because previously there was no
market for the oil. Initial daily production
of the discovery well by pumping was 578147
