Variations in mineral abundance within a single horizontal well path in the Woodford Shale, Arkoma Basin, Oklahoma
The Woodford Shale (Oklahoma, U.S.A.) is a prolific unconventional hydrocarbon resource. The Woodford has been shown to be heterogeneous in many geochemical, mineralogical, and rock mechanic properties across the state of Oklahoma, which presents a challenge to successful exploitation of this …

Structural Cross Sections and Subsurface Maps of the Atoka Formation in the Northern Arkoma Basin, Western and Northwestern Arkansas
<p>The Arkoma Basin is one of several peripheral foreland basins situated on the front of the Ouachita orogenic fold and thrust belt. The transition from the foredeep to the Ozark Plateaus is a short one in terms of latitude. The Atoka Formation in Arkansas comprises the bulk of the sediments in …
