... arrangements can affect important petrophysical, geochemical and geomechanical properties. Characteristics from the Duvernay Formation in Alberta-Canada and the Woodford Shale in Oklahoma-USA were compared in this study; both units are Late Devonian in age and are organic-rich prolific reservoirs.

Well log data is used to create regional stratigraphic correlations for the Late Devonian Woodford Shale and the conformably overlain Mississippian Meramec and Osage formations. Statistical analytics were completed on smoothed Oklahoma production, drilling, completions and authorization...

... Abstract The objective of our study is to use data from every scale for reservoir characterization and eventually reservoir simulation. The current area of study is Woodford Shale in Oklahoma. Due to enormous pay zone and thus oil and gas reserves, Woodford Shale is the center of attraction...

.... The Woodford Shale of Oklahoma stands as a very active play. At the writing of this paper, it ranks third place in U.S. states for active rig count, behind only the Permian and Eagle Ford (The Oklahoman, May 5, 2018, p. 4C). A group of young geoscientists from the University of Oklahoma Institute of Reservoir...

The first alternative pathway for adding unconventional resources is the search for additional productive horizons in existing basins, such as the Meramec Formation above the Cana-Woodford Shale in the Anadarko Basin and the Moorfield Shale below the Fayetteville Shale...

... there are seismic indicators for such rocks within a predominantly marine shale, targeting specifically within the Woodford Shale formation in Oklahoma U.S.A.

... Abstract We undertook an integrated organic geochemical and petrologic study of the Upper Devonian-Lower Mississippian Woodford Shale on cores recovered from thermally mature and liquids-rich mudstone reservoirs in the Anadarko basin of south-central Oklahoma, USA. The purpose of the work...

... Abstract The Woodford Shale in Oklahoma is one of the most prolific unconventional petroleum reservoirs in the United States. Within the study area, the petroleum produced from this reservoir is self-sourced with a significant component having migrated in from deeper in the basin...
