Smackover Formation (Mississippi)

The Smackover Formation is a Jurassic-age (Oxfordian) carbonate that is the dominant oil-bearing reservoir across the Mississippi Salt Basin. The Smackover produces oil and gas from depths typically 8,000-15,000+ ft TVD across south Mississippi. The formation is also the source rock for many shallower Mississippi fields. Major Mississippi fields producing from Smackover include selected positions in Wayne, Jasper, Clarke, Jones, Lincoln, Lamar, and Adams counties.
