Morrow-Springer sandstones in the Anadarko Basin have been excellent exploration targets for seismic-stratigraphic aplications since the mid-1970's. These high impedence sandstones are detectable and can be better delineated with new high-frequency imaging methods.The resolution of these Pennsylvanian-Mississippian sandstones has improved significantly in the last 30 years, with an increase infrequency content of the seismic data, as follows:

Date Frequency sandstone resolution 1980 60 Hz. 62 feet 1995 90 Hz. 42 feet 2003 160 Hz. 23 feet

With three-dimensional coverage, areal mapping of these sandstones can be enhanced to better define environments of deposition and increase the understanding of potential reservoirs.
