Geology & Formation Overview
The SCOOP play targets the deeper, hotter Woodford Shale at depths of 10,000–18,000 ft, producing primarily gas and condensate. The STACK play targets the shallower Meramec and Osage formations (Mississippian age carbonates) at 7,000–12,000 ft, with oil production in the western areas. The two plays share infrastructure and many operators.
