Depositional Processes and Environments in Wolfcampian-leonardian Strata, Southern Midland Basin, Texas
Ward, Zakory (2017-05-01)The Early Permian (Wolfcampian-Leonardian) Wolfcamp interval of the Permian Basin in West Texas is a mixed siliciclastic-carbonate succession that hosts one of the most important unconventional oil and gas plays in the ... -
Depositional setting and controls on porosity development in the Marmaton Granite Wash, southwestern Anadarko Basin, western Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle
Graf, Autumn M. (2023-05)The Middle Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) Marmaton Granite Wash is a tight gas sandstone reservoir in western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle that can economically produce natural gas, condensate, and natural gas liquids ... -
Determination of Moho depth beneath the Okavango and Kafue rift using Spectral Analysis with Piecewise Regression (SAPR) of satellite gravity data
Mily, Farjana Monsur (2023-05)The research investigated the use of satellite gravity data to map the lithospheric structure under the Okavango Rift Zone (ORZ) in northwest Botswana and the Kafue Rift Zone (KRZ) in Zambia. The tectonic extent and ... -
Detrital zircon geochronology and provenance analysis of the Desmoinesian (Middle Pennsylvanian) Bartlesville and Red Fork sandstones, Cherokee Platform and Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
Tunin, Zachery T. (2020-12)The Middle Pennsylvanian was a critical time in the evolution of the North American Craton. Tectonic events caused major changes in paleogeography, resulting in the emergence of new sediment sources that changed sediment ... -
Fluid Histories of Middle Ordovician Fault-Fracture Dolomite Oil Fields of the Southern Michigan Basin
Dunseith, Regina F. (2019-07)Fault-fracture oil fields in the Trenton and Black River formations (TBR) constitute important petroleum reservoirs in the southern Michigan Basin and are the type example for “hydrothermal” petroleum reservoirs world-wide. ... -
Geologic characterization of cretaceous sandstone at the Kemper County energy facility, Mississippi: A world-class site for CO2 storage
