Haynesville Play Mapping Service
The stratigraphic position of the Haynesville Shale has generated much discussion in the industry. Geomap® Company has constructed two cross sections to delineate this new target zone in its proper position within the sub-regional stratigraphy. The distribution of the organic-rich shale is exhibited on an interval isopach map, and Lower Smackover mapping displays the structure immediately below the Haynesville. The service also includes an activity map that keeps track of Haynesville new locations, penetrations, producers and initial production information.
Michigan Basin Executive Reference Maps
Geomap® is expanding our horizons and introducing a NEW Michigan Basin reference map. The new map shows all of
Michigan's oil and gas fields, field names, and discovery dates for those fields. The field boundaries are color
coded and keyed to a stratigraphic column reflecting the age of the producing formations. Color distribution within
field boundaries approximates the areal extent of production for each productive formation within the field.
The Michigan Basin Reference map also has a companion map, "Antrim Shale Play Map" highlighting all Antrim Shale
production in the Michigan Basin. All conventional oil and gas fields are shown in gray with the Antrim production
colorfully displayed. These maps are great for regional overviews of the basin.
New Albany Shale Play
Geomap® is introducing a "New Albany Shale Play" map for Indiana and Kentucky. All New Albany Shale production is
colorfully displayed on this map along with the names of fields having New Albany production. Regional structural
features are prominently displayed. Conventional oil and gas production is shown in gray. The New Albany Shale play
is one of many emerging shale plays. Geomap® is working hard to supply quality products to meet the demand of the
nation's oil and gas industry. Geomap® Company has completed a "New Albany Shale" Mapping Service highlighting the unconventional shale gas trends of the Illinois Basin. The service contains structure maps for the Illinois Basin mapped on the Top New Albany Shale. The map service identifies New Albany producers and displays initial potential rates for selected New Albany producers. Field names with New Albany production have been highlighted. The service also includes an overview "Play" map colorfully displaying New Albany Shale trends for the basin.
Tight Sands of the Anadarko Basin
This map highlights the Tight Sand plays in the Anadarko Basin. The Energy Information Agency (EIA) estimates tight
sands represent 21% of total recoverable natural gas in the United States; whereas shale gas, and coal bed methane
represent only 5% each. It depicts the extent and production within the CLEVELAND, CHEROKEE and GRANITE WASH TIGHT
SAND PLAYS. Displayed on our Western Oklahoma – Texas Panhandle Executive Reference Map base, it also includes major
field names, grid and tectonic features. With current economic trends, and the introduction of new technology; the
conventional has become the unconventional. As new plays emerge it is the goal of Geomap® to be your guide to the
unconventional.
Bakken Play Map Service
Geomap® has added three new cross sections and five new structure maps to the Bakken Play Map Service. Each of the cross
sections, two west-east and one north-south, displays 19 wells that are hung on the Upper Bakken. The lower Lodgepole
to upper Duperow interval is highlighted. Each stratigraphic section also contains an inset structural section.
Five 1:4000 scale structure maps recently have been added to the 11 structure maps already in the service. This extends
the area of coverage eastward and northward in North Dakota, encompassing the dramatically promising Parshall area of
Mountrail County and the central Nesson-Antelope Trend.
Northern Rockies Extended Area Reference
The Northern Rockies Extended Area Reference Map depicts the geologic structure and petroleum production of Wyoming,
Montana, and the Dakotas.
The map covers the Williston Basin, Powder River Basin, Greater Green River Basin, Wind River
Basin, Big Horn Basin, Wyoming Overthrust Belt, Sweetgrass Arch, and more. Oil and gas fields are represented in colors
that indicate the age of their producing reservoirs. Major oil and gas fields and tectonic features are named. In most
of the area, the structural contours and pay zone assignments are derived from our mapping services and are based on
years of detailed mapping and log correlation by Geomap's geologic staff.
Central Utah Hingeline base map
Geomap® now offers a 1:4000 base map of the Central Utah Hingeline, centered on Covenant Field. Wolverine Gas & Oil's
2004 discovery of Covenant field sparked renewed interest in this overthrust play that had been largely ignored since
the 1980s. Many explorationists now recognize that this area may have the greatest potential for major new oil reserves
of any onshore province in the lower 48.
Geomap's new digital base contains updated well spots and standard petroleum
base map features. Each well is identified by API number, operator, well number and fee name, total depth and completion
date. Bottomhole locations are also shown for directional wells. The map includes public land survey grid, hydrology,
transportation and municipal boundaries.
Floyd Shale Map Service
The Floyd Shale map service highlights the unconvential Floyd and Conasauga shale activity of northeastern Mississippi
and northern Alabama. The service features an Isopach map of the Floyd Shale. All Floyd shale discoveries and activity
are identified. A log image showing the Floyd section is displayed on the Isopach map. Two cross sections are included
showing the facies changes of the Floyd. Base map coverage of the the active Floyd and Conasauga areas of interest are
also included as components of this map service.
Barnett-Woodford Delaware Basin of West Texas
Geomap® continues to develop its new and emerging unconventional gas trends and introduces a new service in West Texas.
Look for more additions to this exciting new trend soon.
New Fayetteville Shale Play Map Service
Geomap® now offers a great reconnaissance tool for the Fayetteville Shale Play in Northern Arkansas. The Fayetteville
Shale Play is in its early stages of development, but is potentially another Barnett Shale Play in the making. A SEECO, Inc.
discovery in Conway County, Arkansas in the fall of 2004, kicked off this emerging play. The Fayetteville Shale is an
unconventional gas reservoir found on the Arkansas side of the Arkoma Basin. This Mississippian age shale is the geologic
equivalent of the Caney Shale located on the Oklahoma side of the Arkoma Basin. Geomap® continues to offer you more as this
play continues to expand.
Geomap® has replaced their Kessler mapping horizon in Arkansas with a Dunn "C" structural interpretation. The Top Dunn "C"
is a more consistent structural marker and represents a conformable stratigraphic unit, thereby yielding a more accurate
structural interpretation. Geomap® hopes our clients find this improvement beneficial.
Geomap® Company has added three new Arkansas Base maps in response to Fayetteville Shale leasing activity. The new bases
are AK-27, Woodruff County, AK-32, Monroe & Eastern Prairie
Counties, and AK-33, Western Prairie & Lonoke Counties. Base maps can be purchased by calling
Geomap Sales at (972) 578-0571.
Barnett Shale Play Map Service
Expansion of Geomap's Barnett Shale Play Map Service for the Fort Worth Basin has kept pace with expansion of the Newark
East Field, now Texas' largest gas field. The service currently contains eleven 1:4000 scale maps which highlight all
7,897 Barnett producers (as of January 2008), in addition to all Barnett and sub-Barnett penetrations. Each map consists
of up to four layers which depict structure, isopach, and isopotential data and contours.
Regional maps at 1:10,000 and 1:12,000 scales supplement more detailed coverage and facilitate assessment of regional
productive and isopach trends and pipeline locations. A 1:25,000 scale play map depicts productive trends across the
entire Fort Worth Basin and Bend Arch, extending to the geologic limits of the Barnett Formation. Four stratigraphic cross
sections display the lower Bend to upper Viola-Ellenburger interval, highlighting correlations used in Geomap's structural
and isopach interpretations.
Bend Shale (Palo Duro Basin) Base Maps
Geomap® introduces base maps at a 1:4000 scale for protions of Motley, Floyd, Hale, Swisher, Briscoe, Hall, Armstrong, and Randall counties.
