Origin And Factors Affecting Distribution Of Solid Oil In Mid-Western Missouri, Rafid Abdul-Halim Jasim
Masters Theses
"A textural analysis was made of the heavy oil-bearing sandstones in the Middle Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) Warner and Bluejacket formations of mid-western Missouri in order to determine and compare their depositional environments.
Grains of the Bluejacket sandstones are smaller and more rounded than grains of the Warner sandstones. The Bluejacket sandstone is also better sorted than the Warner sandstone.
The Bluejacket sandstone is thin-bedded; the Warner is mostly massive-bedded. These differences in bedding between the two formations have affected distribution of oil in the area of study.
Both the Bluejacket and Warner sandstones are better sorted than the Warrensburg sandstones; the …
