An exploration oil well was drilled at the point shown on Fig. G-10 and the units encountered are shown on the structure section. The oil-bearing Eagle Bluff Limestone was encountered at a depth of 7200 ft. Using the arc method, draw a structure section. Indicate the point on the map where you, as a consulting geologist, would recommend drilling for oil. How deep must a well be drilled at this point to penetrate the upper surface of the Eagle Bluff Limestone?
