Abstract:
The Central Kansas uplift is a collapsed arch which was eroded to granite on both sides of a central graben during the post-Mississippian. Uplift and collapse produced a myriad of horst and graben blocks affecting the Arbuckle Group below the so-called pre-Pennsylvanian unconformity.
Arbuckle production comes from horst blocks, and about 75% of the Arbuckle production on the uplift comes from blocks within the central graben. Mapping Arbuckle structures as fault blocks rather than as erosional features allows a completely different use of subsurface data and can lead to many unsuspected field extensions and wildcat prospects.
