Oklahoma Geological Survey will present a one-day workshop on the BoochGas Play in Southeastern Oklahoma. The workshop will be held at the Moore-Norman Technology Center, 4701 12th Avenue, NW, in Norman, Oklahoma.

The workshop is designed to provide the participants with both a general and field-specific understanding of the Booch. Following a rigorous regional review is a detailed examination of three Booch gas fields that were chosen to highlight elements critical to Boochgas production. The geological analysis will be supplemented by a presentation of Booch drilling and completion practices from a guest speaker intimately familiar with Boochoperations. A workshop manual and CD are included with the registration.

A two-day field trip, offered on both Wednesday, March 4, and Thursday, March 5, 2009. This field trip will examine key outcrops of the unit and interpret the depositional environment of the strata based on lithologies, sedimentary structures, strataldisconformities, and textural changes. We will compare gamma-ray profiles of the outcrops with nearby gamma-ray logs in order to put a "face" on subsurface wirelinesignatures. And finally, the logs and outcrops will be placed in a sequence-stratigraphic framework for the entire Boochinterval. If time allows, we will also visit important exposures of the underlying Hartshorne Formation and overlying Savanna Formation.
