Holland April 21, 2015 Inset Map showing all faults used to compile the preliminary fault map. 3,418 fault segments from industry contributions and more than 6,000 fault segments from the published literature were used. The complicated representation for some major faults is due to the large number of maps showing the same faults with each map showing a different location. Additionally, fault intricacy may represent true fault complexity. Summary This preliminary fault map is compiled from oil and gas industry data and published literature. Most of the faults from the published literature are documented in the supplement to this Open-File Report. This map is compiled from the Oklahoma fault database, which continues to be updated as additional fault information is available. This map is being released in a timely manner and should be considered preliminary. The faults shown here represent one interpretation of all the faults in the Oklahoma fault database being compiled by the . This preliminary version identifies surface and subsurface faults on one map. OGS Interpretation and Compilation Methods This fault map does not show additional information associated with the fault database such as the formation the fault was mapped in, method used to constrain fault location, etc. Faults mapped at the surface were given highest precedence and most were included on this map. Fault segments that are mapped close to each other are interpreted as a single fault. Faults mapped using 3D seismic were given precedence over faults constrained from 2D seismic data, and subsurface faults not constrained by seismic data were given the lowest precedence. True fault complexity in some areas may be misrepresented by this effort of producing single fault locations for mapped faults. In areas with complex faults, individual fault locations are uncertain and may be in error by as much as several kilometers. Some questionable faults and small parallel faults are omitted. Future efforts will document the choices made in developing a final fault map of Oklahoma. 3,418 fault segments from industry contributions and more than 6,000 fault segments from the published literature were used to make this map. All these fault segments are shown on Inset Map and give an indication of where faulting is most complex. Future efforts will make more metadata available and will include such information as the fault slip-sense and dip direction.
