Geochemical evaluation of oil and gas samples from the Upper Devonian and Mississippian reservoirs Southern Anadarko Basin Oklahoma and its implication for the Woodford Shale unconventional play

摘要

The Woodford Shale, Sycamore, and Goddard formations have become important liquid rich unconventional resource play targets. Most petroleum experts believe the mature Woodford Shale is responsible for much of the southern Anadarko conventional and unconventional petroleum production with notable exceptions. This paper will focus on the well head oil and gas samples from the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province (SCOOP) area Woodford Shale and the younger Mississippian reservoirs. The purpose of this paper is to characterize the SCOOP area unconventional resource play using the produced petroleum.
