Isotopic and chemical data from carbonate cements in surface rocks over and near four Oklahoma oil fields

January 1, 1978

Carbonate cements in outcropping sandstones overlying the Doyle, Fox-Graham, Velma, and part of Wheeler oil fields, Oklahoma, were analyzed for their C13/ 12, 018/016, iron, and manganese compositions. The peculiar areal distribution of the values obtained is interpreted to be the direct result of hydrocarbon microseepage.
