The Odem field, located in southern San Patricio County, Texas, was discovered in the latter part of 1939. Prior to 1933, the Odem area received a limited amount of geological and geophysical exploration, and several test wells were drilled. These tests were dry and the area apparently condemned until a reflection seismograph survey indicated structure. Subsequent drilling confirmed the presence of a structure containing several producing horizons. The proven limits of production conformed closely to the contours of the original seismograph map.

Geographical Position

Interest was first attracted to the Budafapuszta area by its geographical position on the eastward projection of a known surface anticline, which had produced small quantities of oil at Peklenicza and Szelnicza. A test was located in 1920 on a small surface feature, and completed in 1923 as a dry hole. In 1934 a torsion balance survey was made by Eurogasco, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Co. (N. J.) which indicated a dome with its crest 1500 m. north of the dry hole. A reflection survey verified the presence of the structure. The discovery well was located by the torsion balance data, and completed as a producer in 1937. A gravity meter survey made after the first two producers had been drilled, gave further information on the structure and assisted in the development of the field. This exploration history shows that a properly made torsion balance survey may be very efficient and economical even in hilly country. A geological map of part of the Szelnicza‐Peklenicza anticline, a topographical map, torsion balance, seismograph and gravity meter maps, a seismograph cross section and a subsurface contour map of the Budafapuszta structure are submitted.

Structural Closure

Early geophysical exploration in the Anahuac area from 1925 to 1929 included refraction fan shooting and a torsion balance survey. A reflection dip survey in 1933 indicated a large structural closure on which the discovery well was drilled in 1935. No detailed geophysical work has been done on the structure since the discovery of the field.
