NEW SMITHWICK AREA: The Smithwick is up to 268 feet thick in the Motley, Cottle, King, and Dickens County area and also known as the Smithwick Atokan Lower Bend and is the same as found in the old Ranger Field in Eastland and Stephens County, Texas. Does anyone know what is considered the Smithwick play area?

Here’s an introductory overview J.C. If I remember correctly I started this group because it was mentioned so prominently in scholarly articles about the Barnett Shale and the Fort Worth Basin and I couldn’t believe it wasn’t part of the dialogues at all. Google Oil plays in Texas Author Dutton, et al. and hopefully you will find more info.
Thanks so much for the heads up!!!
