3D Exploitation of Oklahoma
Anadarko Basin Gas Resources, Anadarko Basin, Western and Central OklahomaBy
Larry Lunardi
Chesapeake Energy Corp.
Oklahoma City, OK
During the past 5 years, Chesapeake Energy has acquired
over 3500 miles of recent 3D data in Oklahoma, concentrated in the prolific gas
producing area established within the Anadarko Basin. This basin is
characterized by the structural and stratigraphic complexities associated with
multiple episodes of extensional, thrust, and wrench tectonics.
This complexity has provided the opportunity for 3D seismic
to illuminate the potential for finding significant gas reserves under and
between the existing production. Chesapeake currently has over 20 rigs actively
drilling for these reserves at depths up to 25,000 feet; most of these are
targeting prospects delineated by 3D.
Chesapeake?s
continued commitment to 3D in this area is reflected by a 2003 program that
includes the acquisition
of over 600 sqs of new proprietary and spec data.
