Anadarko Basin Mineral Management
The Anadarko Basin is one of the deepest and most prolific sedimentary basins in North America. Spanning western Oklahoma, the Texas Panhandle, and southwest Kansas, this basin has produced oil and gas for over a century and continues to attract significant investment. Valor provides comprehensive mineral management services tailored to the Anadarko Basin's multi-state regulatory complexity and diverse production characteristics.
Location: Western Oklahoma, Texas Panhandle, Southwest Kansas
Primary Products: Natural gas, natural gas liquids, oil
Key Formations: Woodford Shale, Springer, Meramec, Granite Wash, Hunton
Basin Depth: Up to 40,000 feet in the deepest areas
The Woodford Shale is the source rock for much of the basin's hydrocarbons and has become a major unconventional target. Horizontal drilling in the Woodford, particularly in the Cana-Woodford play, produces significant volumes of natural gas and liquids.
The Springer formation produces oil and gas throughout the basin. Both conventional and unconventional Springer wells contribute to production, with horizontal drilling expanding development opportunities.
The Meramec formation, part of the broader Mississippian section, has become a key target in the STACK and SCOOP plays. These tight carbonate and shale reservoirs respond well to horizontal drilling and completion techniques.
The Granite Wash formation, found along the basin's southern margin, produces oil and gas from arkosic sandstones. This formation is particularly productive in the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma.
Mineral owners with Anadarko Basin interests may hold assets in multiple states, each with different regulatory requirements:
Valor's multi-state expertise ensures your Anadarko Basin mineral interests are properly managed regardless of which state(s) your minerals are located in.
Comprehensive tracking of royalty payments from operators across Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas.
Expert navigation of OCC, RRC, and KCC regulatory requirements.
Understanding your options in forced pooling and unitization proceedings.
Maximizing value from your Anadarko Basin mineral portfolio.
The Anadarko Basin is one of the deepest sedimentary basins in North America, located primarily in western Oklahoma with extensions into the Texas Panhandle and southwest Kansas. It produces oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids from multiple formations at depths exceeding 30,000 feet in some areas.
The Anadarko Basin produces from numerous formations including the Woodford Shale, Springer, Meramec, Mississippian, Hunton, Morrow, and Granite Wash. Horizontal drilling has unlocked significant production from the Woodford and other unconventional zones in recent years.
The Anadarko Basin spans western Oklahoma (the largest portion), the Texas Panhandle, and southwest Kansas. Each state has different regulatory agencies and requirements, making professional mineral management essential for owners with interests across state lines.
