与外围前陆盆地形成相关的地下复杂性可能对非常规资源开发产生重大影响。在俄克拉荷马州东南部的阿科马盆地，逆冲和构造载荷的出现在盆地形成过程中引发了一系列复杂的倾角/滑动断层和走滑断层。运营商使用了一系列技术来加深对水库及其危害的了解，并深入了解对未来开发计划和战略的经济影响。
Woodford 主要是 II 型干酪根烃源岩。该地层通常被分类为硅质泥岩或燧石粉砂岩。
Subsurface complexities related to the formation of peripheral foreland basins can have significant effects on unconventional resource development. In the Arkoma Basin of southeast Oklahoma, the onset of thrusting and tectonic loading induced a complex series of dip/slip and strike/slip faults during basin formation. The operator used a series of technologies to increase understanding of the reservoir and its hazards and provide insight into economic implications for future development plans and strategies.
The Woodford is primarily a Type II kerogen source rock. The formation typically is classified as either siliceous mudstone or cherty siltstone.
