We present a systematic summary of the geological characteristics, exploration and
development history and current state of shale oil and gas in the United States. The …

The Mississippian limestone is a prolific hydrocarbon play in the northern region of
Oklahoma and the southern part of Kansas. The Mississippian reservoirs feature variations …

The unforeseen discovery of substantial hydrocarbons in ultra-tight Mississippian reservoirs
in Oklahoma testifies to the complexity of the hydrocarbon charge across the flanks of the …

More than 50 basins worldwide are identified as “super basins,” defined as a basin with
cumulative production of at least 5 billion BOE (∼ 0.8 billion m 3) and with future production …

ABSTRACT The Woodford Shale and the overlying Mississippian limestone constitute one
of the prolific unconventional hydrocarbon targets in central and northern Oklahoma. With …

The combination of an organic carbon-rich, thermally mature hydrocarbon source rock with
intervals of brittle lithology make the Woodford Shale an excellent unconventional oil and …

Paleoproductivity and depositional redox conditions play critical roles in the development of
organic-rich mudrocks. Devonian and Mississippian mudrocks within the central region of …

The Mississippian mudrocks of central Oklahoma, USA, encompass hydrocarbon-rich
unconventional reservoirs. Many factors control the success of hydrocarbon producibility …

Deep‐water carbonate deposition is relatively poorly understood but an area of vigorous
research in academia and industry, where these deposits are a significant component of …

Mississippian Meramec deposits and reservoirs in the Sooner Trend in the Anadarko (Basin)
in Canadian and Kingfisher counties (STACK) play of Oklahoma are comprised of silty …
