Assessing the organic composition and mineralogy of the Tipton member shale of the Green River Formation utilizing petrological analysis
Bedell, Joshua M. A. (2017-05-11)The objective of this research is to further investigate the resource potential of the Green River Formation (GRF) oil shales by determining the lithological, mineralogical, and organic properties by using hand sample ... -
Comparing PP and PS seismic characterization of fractures in the Mississippian Meramec and Osage intervals of the STACK play, Oklahoma
Mullen, Michael Dakota (2022-05)Fractures often provide a mode of secondary porosity and significantly improve rock permeability and reservoir quality. This study characterized fractures within the Mississippian Meramec and Osage intervals of the STACK ... -
Comparison between model and field diesel mass recovery in dolomite karst
Pickens, Cullen Mikael (2018-12)Analytical subsurface mass removal models are used to evaluate the accuracy and efficiency of remediation approaches. Generally, in field settings, the initial mass of the contaminant source is unknown and thus these ... -
Evaluating macropore flow with temporal electrical resistivity imaging in riparian areas
Hager, John Paul (2021-05)Riparian soils are uniquely susceptible to the formation of macropores, voids with preferential flow in comparison to surrounding strata, which are hypothesized to promote fast transport of water through soil layers. ... -
Fault structure of the Punta Montalva Fault using high-resolution DEMs
Weilert, Lauren J. (2022-07)The Punta Montalva Fault is an active left-lateral strike-slip fault that slipped during the 2019-2020 Puerto Rico seismic sequence. Not much is known about the structure, segmentation, and spatial extent of the fault as ... -
Geological and geomechanical characteristics of prospective CO₂ sinks and seals in the Desoto Canyon Salt Basin, east-central Gulf of Mexico
Meng, Jingyao (2019-05)Subsurface geologic storage of CO₂ can play a major role in offsetting greenhouse gas emissions, and offshore storage in the DeSoto Canyon Salt Basin in the east-central Gulf of Mexico may be a viable solution due to large ... -
geophysical characterizations of glacial aquifers and earth-fill dams
Sazal, Md Zonaed Hossain (2022-05)Geophysical investigations of groundwater aquifers and earth-fill dams have gained vast attention during the past few decades. Exploring new groundwater aquifers is always essential to meet the growing need for water ... -
Integrated fracture and stress characterization, Mississippian "Meramec and Osage" intervals, STACK play, central Oklahoma
Bedell, Joshua Michael Andrew (2019-05)Characterization of fractures, paleo-stresses, and the in-situ stress state is a major topic of interest among geoscientists and engineers in the petroleum industry. Fractures can significantly influence reservoir quality, ... -
Locating unmapped mining voids using high-resoluition seismic and resistivity surveys at a historical mining area in the Tri-State Mining District, Quapaw, Oklahoma
Meese, Patrick (2021-12)The Tri-State Mining District in northeast Oklahoma has been heavily undermined, leaving both large and small manmade void spaces that pose a danger to both property and human life. The district is classified as the Tar ... -
Monitoring the Robert S. Kerr dam and its Mississippian bedrock foundation using satellite and bathymetric surveys
Keltz, Joshua K. (2023-05)The Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA) contracted and funded the Boone Pickens School of Geology to conduct studies over several of GRDA’s dams along the Grand River system to better analyze the dams’ structural integrity. ... -
Proportioning manufactured sand in flowable concrete
Alturki, Riyadh Turki M. (2020-12)Manufactured sand has started to be used in concrete due to its availability and low cost. However, it has different shape properties, gradations, and mineralogy in comparison to the natural sand, and these differences can ... -
Reciprocal characteristics of surface waves: Detecting near surface anomalies
Juenger, Jessica A. (2020-07)The dispersive nature of surface waves (different frequencies traveling at different velocities) predominately depends on the subsurface shear-wave properties. The near-surface community takes advantage of this phenomenon ... -
Seismic multiples attenuating using Radon Transform and principal components
Abbasi, Salman (2022-07)Seismic data is often contaminated with noise that must be attenuated before making reliable seismic interpretations. Seismic noise can be either random noise, which cannot be correlated between seismograms, or coherent ...
