NEW! Special Publication 2013-01	Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment and Observed Ground Motions for the Arcadia, Oklahoma, Dam Site, by Austin A. Holland, Christopher R. Toth, and Emma M. Baker, 2013.
Open File Report OF1‐2012	Geologic Report: Standard Oil Product Company Weyerhaeuser #1-22, Broken Bow Uplift, Oklahoma Released through the generosity of Weyerhaeuser Company and the cooperation of consulting geologist Michael D. Allison, this formerly proprietary report on one of the most important wells ever drilled in the Ouachita Mountains of Oklahoma – the Standard Oil Production Company (SOPC) 1-22 Weyerhaeuser is available online. Spudded in 1987 and located on the crest of the Broken Bow Uplift more than 50 mi south of the thrust front of the Ouachita tectonic belt (Figure 1), the 1-22 Weyerhaeuser TD’d at almost 19,000 ft and fortunately, Weyerhaeuser elected to thoroughly study all the cuttings from surface to TD and all the cores that were cut. The well is important for a number of reasons, but none more so than it drilled through the basal decollement of the fold-and-thrust belt into foreland facies strata at about 11,750 ft and again at 13,400 ft. This well is therefore critical for all modern tectonic interpretations of the Ouachita Mountains (e.g., Arbenz, 2008).
