FUNDAMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF PRE-EXISTING FRACTURE SLIP AND PROPAGATION IN RESERVOIR STIMULATION
(2019-12)The deformation behavior and transport properties of subsurface reservoir rock masses are highly influenced by the existence of natural fractures. Shear reactivation of pre-existing fractures by pressurized fluid injection ... -
Geophysical assessment on how near surface sediments impact seismic groundmotion due to induced seismicity
(2024-05)In Union City, Oklahoma, hydraulic fracturing and wastewater injection are a root cause of increased induced seismicity that is felt by nearby homeowners who report damage to the Oklahoma geological survey (OGS). To ... -
INVESTIGATION AND REAL-TIME MONITORING FOR SAFE WASTE-WATER DISPOSAL WITH A FOCUS ON ARBUCKLE GROUP, OKLAHOMA
(2018)Increase in the earthquakes in the State of Oklahoma in recent years has been tremendous with wastewater disposal considered to be the primary reason behind this increase. A large quantity of wastewater is being injected ... -
Investigation into Oilfield Waste Water Disposal Through Eutectic Freeze Crystallization
(2018-05-11)The principal question for this thesis is as follows: “How can freeze crystallization be utilized to treat flowback and produced water from oilfield operations?” Current waste water disposal methods in the oil industry ... -
Report on ICDP Deep Dust workshops: probing continental climate of the late Paleozoic icehouse–greenhouse transition and beyond
(2020-12-01)Chamberlin and Salisbury's assessment of the Permian a century ago captured the essence of the period: it is an interval of extremes yet one sufficiently recent to have affected a biosphere with near-modern complexity. The ... -
The Roles of Structural Inheritance in Regions of Induced Seismicity and Active Tectonics
(2020-07-30)The structural fabric of crystalline crustal rocks, commonly defined by fractures, metamorphic foliation, tabular intrusions, bedding planes, cleavage etc. represent mechanical anisotropy and structural weakness which are ... -
Seismic Characterization of Intra-basement Deformation and its Influence on the Overlying Sedimentary Strata: Implications for Tectonic Evolution and Induced Seismicity in Northern Oklahoma
(2021)Patterns of recent seismogenic fault reactivation in the granitic basement of north-central Oklahoma necessitates an understanding of the structural characteristics of the inherited basement-rooted faults. We analyze the ...
