Top-seal thickness. We combined the isopach maps of Hester and Schmoker (1993) and Amsden (1975) to derive a thickness map for the Woodford Shale. The unit that we identify as the best potential seal for the Arbuckle and gridded it 51 (s7arbuckle). Johnson (1991b) mentioned that by the early 1990’s all ten of the hazardous waste-disposal wells then operating in Oklahoma were using the Arbuckle or Arbuckle-Simpson as the recipient reservoir. Significantly, either the Woodford Shale (in the Tulsa area) or truncating Pennsylvanian-age shales (in the Oklahoma City area) acted as the confining units. This fact suggests that, at least in the cases where hazardous waste is involved, the intervening Silurian- and Devonian-age rocks may not be sufficiently low in permeability to act as seals for either the Arbuckle or the Simpson. |
