The Intra-Basement Reflectors in the STACK Area of Oklahoma

In Oklahoma, seismic reflection data from different areas show distinct, systematic patterns of reflectors within depth intervals dominated by the crystalline basement. It is necessary to better understand the origin and composition of these characteristic layers in the Oklahoma basement, as it will fill a major gap in the understanding of its tectonic and thermal history.

Geochemical factors controlling the phase behavior of Eagle Ford Shale petroleum fluids

Petroleum types in the Eagle Ford resource play span the range from black oil to dry gas and are produced along regional trends that are largely maturity controlled. A total of 61 shale samples covering all maturity zones were evaluated to document organic richness, organic matter type, and maturation characteristics using established geochemical parameters.

Oil families and inferred source rocks of the Woodford–Mississippian tight oil play in northcentral Oklahoma

Twenty-four oils produced from the Woodford Shale and overlying Mississippian strata in central Oklahoma were characterized geochemically to determine their possible source(s). The 168 core samples from the Woodford and Mississippian sections of 14 wells in central Oklahoma were initially characterized by total organic carbon (TOC), Rock-Eval, and vitrinite reflectance, and select samples (TOC >1.0 wt. %) were subjected to biomarker analyses to characterize source input, depositional environment, maturity, and oil-to-source rock correlations.

The Role of Reservoir Geoscience in Sustainable Development

In energy discussions, many conversations have focused on what must be done for the future. This is only part of the sustainability definition. There is also a responsibility to meet the needs of the present. “Humanity has the ability to make development sustainable to ensure that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,” reads the United Nations “Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development: Our Common Future.”
