Depositional interpretation and sequence stratigraphic control on reservoir quality and distribution in the Meramecian Sooner trend Anadarko Basin, Canadian, and Kingfisher Counties (STACK) play, Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma, United States

This study identifies key drivers of facies and reservoir variability in the Meramecian Play, Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma, that aid in predicting and mapping reservoir quality, identifying potential target zones, and understanding optimal development and stack potential.

Mississippian mud rocks of the eastern Great Basin: Stratigraphy, tectonic significance, and hydrocarbon potential

Evaluation of the Mississippian stratigraphy of the Great Basin region identifies the presence of two mud-rock formations, historically identified as the Chainman Shale. This work improves the understanding of this mud-rock stratigraphy, its tectonic significance, and its hydrocarbon potential.

Onshore–offshore correlations of Cretaceous fluvial-deltaic sequences, southern Baltimore Canyon trough

Cretaceous depositional sequences from multichannel seismic profiles and wells in the southern Baltimore Canyon trough tie to wells drilled in the Maryland coastal plain. These potential reservoir sands are capped by regional confining units and are excellent targets for supercritical carbon storage.

Pushing New Frontiers With Proven Basins

In the arena of super basins, what’s old is new again. With new technology, oil finders are finding great success by returning to basins once thought to be mature. While exploration continues along new frontiers, the industry has returned to the world’s richest petroleum-bearing basins with an all-out effort to optimize extensive infrastructure using new technology.

3-D Seismic Volume Visualization in Color: Part 2

Seismic attributes help enhance the subtle subsurface geologic detail that might be difficult and time consuming to decipher from 3-D seismic amplitude data. Beginning with the simple computation of envelope, phase and frequency attributes in the 1970s, several dozen seismic attributes are generated these days containing disparate types of information. To bring together all this information and produce an accurate subsurface model, the multiple attributes need to be carefully visualized and displayed, and thus has become an important interpretation tool for seismic interpreters.

South Atlantic Pre-salt Objectives in the Gulf of Mexico?

The U.S. Gulf of Mexico often receives attention for its hydrocarbon potential in the Upper Jurassic and younger rocks in deep and shallow water. Increasingly more people are looking to another potential habitat for hydrocarbons, the syn-rift and associated sections, also known as the Gulf of Mexico pre-salt.

An Oil Trap Unlike Any Other

I was involved in the 2006 discovery of Parshall Oil Field in the Bakken reservoir of North Dakota, one of the largest oil fields in North America. My prospect idea was based on meager geologic data that included two key wells and used the potential of new horizontal drilling technology.

Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum

As the world heads toward what could be a significant shortfall in energy supply relative to demand, it is more important than ever for our industry to help stakeholders understand the contribution of the hydrocarbon sector in balancing that energy equation. To do that, the industry needs individuals who can find, exploit, and appropriately assess reserves and resources. The AAPG DPA – SPE OGRC Petroleum Reserves and Resources Forum will help decision makers better understand the energy resource picture, and help interpreters and investors make more accurate reserve and resource assessments.
