Mid-Continent Region
The Mid-Continent Region is a physiographic province that extends from
northern Texas to Minnesota and covers portions of the Dakotas, Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa. This area is a transition
between the Eastern Plains and drier, short grass prairies of the Rocky
Mountain and Great Plains Region. It is bounded by the Mississippi River on
the east and the Missouri River on the west and consists of generally
low-relief, flat-lying marine and stream deposits from the Mesozoic and
Cenozoic Eras. Geologically, the area is tectonically stable and part of
the continental core. It has been impacted by structural folding, faulting,
deformation, erosion and sedimentation from the ancient, eroded mountains
of the Ouachita-Ozark Highlands in the southern portion of the region. The
region has significant oil and gas production in the Arbuckle, Arkoma,
Nemaha Uplift, and Ouachita Mountain areas, but lacks production and has
little exploration outside of these areas. This web site provides access
to the Energy Resources Program research activities and products within the
Mid-Continent Region.

Opportunities for reserve growth in deep gas reservoirs
arise in part from geologic heterogeneities that restrict the
migration of gas to existing wells.
Outline map of conterminous United States showing locations of fields from which wells were
derived for study, and producing units (See Bulletin 2172-E).
