This report provides a detailed review of the stratigraphic and structural attributes and controls on productivity and future potential of the Cleveland Formation and Marmaton Group by integrating chronostratigraphic, depositional-facies, and play analysis. Its authors used a data set consisting of 1,127 wells and 5 conventional cores with ~250 ft of section from the Cleveland Formation, along with production data from more than 900 wells in the Cleveland and Marmaton.

This publication helps scientists quickly sort through the entire spectrum of knowledge of salt tectonics, isolate relevant information, and find pathways to more-detailed information. Included in the zip file is an interactive atlas of salt structures and associated sediment geometries that contains more than 1,300 annotated images of salt structures, with detailed captions that discuss key principles.
