3-D GEOMETRY AND KINEMATIC EVOLUTION OF THE KUPE INVERSION STRUCTURE, SOUTHERN TARANAKI BASIN, NEW ZEALAND
Clayton, Spencer (2017-12)The Southern Taranaki Basin underwent extension during the Late Cretaceous to Eocene, followed by a compression during the Oligocene to the Late Miocene, resulting in inversion of some of the pre-existing normal faults. ... -
Continuity, Connectivity and Reservoir Characteristics of Desmoinesian Fan-Delta Conglomerates and Sandstones, Elk City Field, Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
Salantur, Burak (2016-12)Marmaton Group (Desmoinesian) Granite Wash deposits of the Elk City Field, in eastern Beckham and western Washita counties, Oklahoma, are composed of sandstones, conglomerates, and mudstones that were deposited as fan ... -
CONTROLS OF PRE-EXISTING NORMAL FAULTS ON THE GEOMETRY AND LOCATION OF THRUST FAULTS IN FOLD-THRUST BELTS
Basnet, Shiva (2016)Pre-existing normal faults are commonly cited as influencing both the sequence of faulting and the location of thrust faults in fold-thrust belts. Scaled experimental models for both frictional and ductile detachments were ... -
A DETAILED ANALYSIS OF RIFT RELATED STRUCTURES: INSIGHTS FROM LASER SCANNED CLAY MODELS AND 3-D SEISMIC INTERPRETATION
Paul, Debapriya (2014-05)Rifting describes the process of crustal stretching through which the brittle upper crust is subjected to extensional deformation (Falvey, 1974; Bally and Snelson, 1980; Wernicke and Burchfiel, 1982; Steckler, 1985; McKenzie, ... -
Experimental Modeling of Geometry and Evolution of Structures above Ductile and Frictional Detachments
Li, Jianjun (2016-05-13)Fold-thrust belts formed above ductile units like salt are typically characterized by detachment folds, whereas those formed above frictional detachments contain fault-related folds, such as fault-bend folds and duplexes. ... -
FAULT RUPTURE PROCESSES DURING HIGH VELOCITY ROTARY SHEAR EXPERIMENTS
Zu, Ximeng (2016-05-13)High velocity shear experiments can provide information on fault rupture processes that seismological methods cannot. The present study focuses on two main aspects of fault rupture processes. One is developing a new, ... -
INTEGRATED INTERPRETATION OF BOREHOLE MICROSEISMIC DATA FROM HYDRAULIC FRACTURING STIMULATION TREATMENTS
Cabarcas Bejarano, Carlos Luis (2014-05)Sequence stratigraphic principles provide means to interpret the geological framework and likelihood of finding hydrocarbon–bearing rocks. In this work, I show that they can also be used to predict and better interpret the ... -
INTEGRATED STUDY ON SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHIC FRAMEWORK OF DEEPWATER JACKFORK GROUP AND WOODFORD SHALE
Zou, Fuge (2015-05-08)Deepwater turbidites and unconventional shale reservoirs are two most important hydrocarbon resources in North America. To fully understand the hydrocarbon potentials of the deepwater reservoirs, we first need to utilize ... -
Linking image processing and numerical modeling to identify potential geohazards
Pires de Lima, Rafael (2017-08)Faults, along with natural fractures, may enhance production when confined within the reservoir. However, if the fault is connected to an aquifer, it may cause early water breakthrough in the reservoir. Even if they are ... -
Machine assisted quantitative seismic interpretation
Zhao, Tao (2017-05)During the past decades, the size of 3D seismic data volumes and the number of seismic attributes have increased to the extent that it is difficult, if not impossible, for interpreters to examine every seismic line and ... -
Machine learning applications for geoscience problems
Pires de Lima, Rafael (2019-12)Geoscientists have used machine learning for at least three decades and the applications spam many fields, from seismic processing and interpretation, to remote sensing classification, to analysis of well log data, among ... -
MULTISCALE NATURAL FRACTURE CHARACTERIZATION WORKFLOW FOR UNCONVENTIONAL SHALE, WOODFORD AND BARNETT SHALES AS EXAMPLES
Zhang, Jing (2019-12-13)This research presents an integrated methodology and workflow to characterize, interpret and predict natural fracture occurrence in different scales for unconventional shales using the Devonian-Mississippian Woodford and ... -
RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING OF A CRETACEOUS TRIPLE POROSITY CARBONATE RESERVOIR CONTRIBUTION OF PORE TYPES TO HYDROCARBON PORE VOLUME AND PRODUCTION, CAMPECHE SOUND, GULF OF MEXICO
Cervantes Velazquez, Antonio (2019-05-10)Campeche Sound, located southeast of the continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. represents about 80% of the national hydrocarbons production of Mexico, and comprises several giant oilfields, including Cantarell and ... -
Seismic Attribute Analysis of Depth-Migrated Data
Lin, Tengfei (2016)Most seismic attributes are originally designed and computed on time-migrated data. While some papers show the values of attribute analysis on depth-migrated data, few have compared the images to corresponding time-migrated ... -
Seismic methods applied to structural interpretation
Li, Jianjun (2019-12-13)Seismic modeling and seismic attribute assisted interpretation are conducted to illustrate the use of seismic methods in structural interpretation. Pre-stack time migration (PSTM) seismic modeling is used to study common ... -
Seismic Stratigraphy of a Circular Concave-Downward Structure, Chukchi Sea
Ruiz Lozano, Andres Hernan (2017-12-15)A circular concave-downward structure (CCDS) and its structural features and seismic facies can be observed in several 2D seismic lines imaging the Chukchi Sea planning area. The area in question is largely underexplored ... -
Structural analysis of a naturally fractured carbonate field in the south-east Gulf of Mexico.
Sánchez Flores, Laura Beatriz (2018-05)Fractured carbonates produce more than 85% of hydrocarbon production in Mexico. A large number of the producing fields are located in the South Gulf Salt Province (SGSP) in Campeche Bay within the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridgian ... -
