Major Oil and Gas Fields in McClain County, Oklahoma
The Golden Trend Oil Field in McClain and portions of Garvin and Grady Counties is a giant field that has been extensively studied and drilled since the first well was drilled back in the 1940’s. Earlier oil production from the giant Golden Trend field was largely from several overlapping Pennsylvanian stratigraphic traps, and has been productive in zones at many levels in the hydrocarbon column since that time.
Now located within the SCOOP boundary, the venerable Golden Trend of Garvin County and McClain Counties has once again regained prominence, yielding highly productive wells in deeper, horizontal wells producing from the Hunton, Sycamore, Springer and Woodford formations.
