The cool thing about this article is that the Mississippian Carbonate Formations are mapped (still expanding Play as you know) and include the Permian Basin of Texas info.
I thought I'd bring this old, but great, article to your attention.

My Take on Sandridge by Michael Filloon in SeekingAlpha.com
Great article by Writer Michael Filloon of SeekingAlpha.com about Sandridge Energy and their strategic thinking about the Central Basin Platform in Texas and the Mississippian Carbonate (Lime) Play in Oklahoma and Kansas (and the Play is expanding into Texas, etc). The greener method for fracking production waters being used by Sandridge sounds just nifty!!! CEO says SD will triple in price for it's stock in 3 years - definitely gets my attention!
Happy Mother's Day!

Mississippi Lime (northern Oklahoma, southern Kansas): Chesapeake’s approximate 2.0 million net acres of leasehold is the largest position in the Mississippi Lime play. Production for the 2012 first quarter averaged 12,800 boe per day, up 22% sequentially compared to the 2011 fourth quarter. Approximately 40% of total Mississippi Lime production during the 2012 first quarter was oil, 15% was NGL and 45% was natural gas. The company has drilled 130 horizontal producing wells since 2009 with results that have been attractive and consistent. Well costs in the Mississippi Lime play are more than 50% less than typical wells in the Bakken play, resulting in very strong rates of return for the Mississippi Lime Play. The company is currently operating 22 rigs in the play and will maintain that level throughout the remainder of 2012. Chesapeake is currently pursuing a joint venture transaction on its leasehold and expects to announce a transaction in the next few months.
Three notable recent wells completed by Chesapeake in the Mississippi Lime during the quarter are as follows:
Acid Mine Water for Fracking? By MATT HUGHES of The York Daily Record
Very interesting article - is there wastewater in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, etc. that could be used instead of freshwater for fracking? Is the drilling wastewater just too high in Total Dissolved Solids (TDS - salt, etc.) to be useful for fracking? It looks like it is directly related to the distance from the source to be economical (like most goods and services).
