The Significance Of Dolomitized Hunton Strata In The Kinta And Bonanza Fields Of The Arkoma Basin, Christopher William Trotter
The Significance Of Dolomitized Hunton Strata In The Kinta And Bonanza Fields Of The Arkoma Basin, Christopher William Trotter
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The Hunton Group has been a prolific hydrocarbon-producing reservoir across much of Oklahoma and western Arkansas. The group is a Silurian-Devonian aged interval that is comprised of sequences of limestone, dolomite, and calcareous shale. The group is divided into several formations. The subdivisions include the Chimneyhill Subgroup, Henryhouse, Haragan and Bois d'Arc Formations. Reservoir quality in the Hunton Group is significantly dependent upon the diagenetic events and depositional environments of the sediments. Most hydrocarbon production, from within the Hunton Group, comes from members that have undergone dolomite replacement of the parent limestone.
The higher amounts of porosity and permeability are …
Structural And Stratigraphic Transition From The Arkoma Shelf Into The Arkoma Basin During Basin Subsidence; Arkoma Basin, Northwest Arkansas, Elizabeth Whitney Studebaker
Structural And Stratigraphic Transition From The Arkoma Shelf Into The Arkoma Basin During Basin Subsidence; Arkoma Basin, Northwest Arkansas, Elizabeth Whitney Studebaker
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
The Arkoma basin is an arcuate Paleozoic structural feature in the Ouachita foreland that extends from central Arkansas and westward into southeastern Oklahoma. The Arkoma shelf lies immediately north of the basin and is comprised of Cambrian to Pennsylvanian age sedimentary rocks. In northwestern Arkansas, the stratigraphic and structural transition from the shelf into the northern portion of the Arkoma basin is poorly defined.
Wireline logs were used to construct a series of three north to south cross sections, as well as two along-strike west to east cross sections to examine Morrowan and lower Atokan age strata. In addition to …
