Diagenetic controls on primary and secondary porosity in valley-fill marine sandstones - Misener Formation, north-central Oklahoma
The Devonian Misener formation in north-central Oklahoma consists of a series of discontinuous sandstone and shale bodies deposited in erosional topographic lows on the post-Hunton unconformity surface of north-central Oklahoma. Paleontological, mineralogical, and sedimentological evidence supports a marine valley-fill depositional setting including both channel and nonchannel facies. Abrupt changes in sandstone thickness and reservoir properties are characteristic of Misener sandstones. These sandstones were episodically deposited, fine upward and commonly interfinger with an equivalent shale facies. The basal contacts of the Misener sandstone bodies are erosional with the inclusion of shale, phosphate, and sandstone clasts in a medium-grained, dolomitic quartzarenite sandstone. A combination of primary and secondary porosity makes Misener sandstone reservoirs prolific hydrocarbon producers.
