GEOLOGIC SETTING The Arkoma Basin follows an east-west trend from northern Arkansas into east-central Oklahoma. Figure 1 shows the structural features that border the area: the Ouachita Mountains to the south; the Seminole Arch and the Arbuckle Uplift to the west; and the Ozark Uplift to the north. Tertiary sediments of the Mississippi Embayment cover the eastern part of the basin. Figure 2 shows the basin is asymmetric in profile. The basin is characterized by normal faulting on the north and compressional structures on the south. Development occurred from Cambrian to early Pennsylvanian time. Prior to basin development, the area was a carbonate shelf (Horn and Curtis, 1996). Subsurface folds and thrust faults were formed during the late stages of foreland basin development. The basin was completely filled with late Pennsylvanian sediments (Horn and Curtis, 1996). Structural styles influence hydrocarbon production in the Arkoma basin. The northern Arkansas gas fairway and central basin are dominated by blind imbricate thrust faults that ramp over normal fault blocks at depths above 5000 feet. Gas reservoirs have been found below the thrust faults at depths of 5000 to 10,000 feet. Seismic and well data reveal a southward thickening package of Carboniferous flysch (Figure 2) overlying thin Paleozoic shelf strata in western Arkansas (Figure 3). Total sediment thickness is estimated to be 46,000 feet in the southern Ouachita mountains. At least 39,000 feet of flysch were deposited north of the Ouachita mountain front (Lillie et al., 1983). North of the Ouachita mountains, the Cambro-Ordovician Arbuckle carbonates were deposited in a marine shelf environment (Gromer, 1981). The Devonian-Mississippian Arkansas Novaculite was deposited when rapid subsidence occurred in the Ouachita basin. The Mississippian Stanley shale Group, the Pennsylvanian Jackfork Group, the Johns Valley Formation and the Atoka Formation as the Arkoma basin continued to subside. The Atoka Fm includes 20,000 feet of shale, sandstone and coal beds. Flysch sedimentation continued until mid-Pennsylvanian time, when northward thrusting displaced the geosyncline (Gromer, 1981). The Ouachita fold belt was produced by a collision between an island arc and the North American plate (Wickham, et al., 1976). HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION Natural gas was first produced in 1901 at a depth of 2,000 feet from Pennsylvanian sandstones in Sebastian County, Arkansas. The greatest exploration activity occurred along the northern part of the basin in Arkansas and Oklahoma. Most major fields were discovered within the first 30 years of industry activity (Horn and Curtis, 1996). In 1930, gas production was established from the Atokan Spiro sandstone at a depth of 6300 feet. Wilburton field, the Arkoma basin's second largest field, was discovered in 1929 with production from Upper Atokan sandstones at 2500 feet. The Spiro sandstone was tested in 1960 and soon became the main producing zone. Except for Wilburton and Red Oak fields, very few successful wells were drilled below 10,000 feet prior to the 1970’s (Horn and Curtis, 1996). Production was established from the Spiro sandstone and Arbuckle carbonates in northern Oklahoma and Arkansas during the late 1970s, opening a new fairway for deeper exploration. Production from Arbuckle (Cambro-Ordovician), Viola (Ordovician) and Hunton (Siluro-Devonian) was established at Wilburton field at depths of 13,000 to 14,500 feet in 1988 (Horn and Curtis, 1996). Limited shallow oil production occurs from the Stanley group (Mississippian) and fractured Paleozoic cherts (Devonian Arkansas Novaculite) in the southern Ouachitas (Horn and Curtis, 1996). 1
