The Upper Devonian-Lower Mississippian Woodford Shale is an important source rock in the Anadarko basin. Because of its stratigraphic relationship to the Hunton Group and other productive reservoirs, it has been the subject of several recent studies attempting to evaluate hydrocarbon potential. Standard geochemical analyses were performed on a 5-well cross-section beginning in the northeastern shelf of the Anadarko basin at a depth of 5700 ft (1737 m) and ending in the southeastern part of the deep Anadarko basin at 22,000 ft (6706 m). The data reveal systematic changes in geochemical parameters with increasing depth and maturity level. Such changes are consistent with maturation effects seen in other basins around the world.
