Carbonate caprock sealing capabilities: CCUS applications in the Michigan Basin
(2020-12)Identifying the viability of rock formations to successfully limit the upward migration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is vital for carbon storage permanence. As an attempt to address increasing atmospheric concentrations of CO2, ... -
Deposition and differentiation of windward and leeward slopes in a Silurian reef complex: Pipe Creek Jr. Quarry, Grant County, Indiana
(2020-05)Silurian reefs are significant hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Michigan Basin, having produced over 490 MMBO and 2.9 TCF of gas. Primary production from the reefs is typically averages 20-25% due to the complex internal ... -
Depositional behaviors of trace metals around hydrothermal vents in the Scotia Sea
(2022-12)Sediment deposition along the East Scotia Ridge (ESR) in the Southern Oceanis dominated by biogenic sediment due to its location within the diatom belt and is influenced by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current mainly flowing ... -
Evidence of Syndepositional Subsidence and the Evolution of Multiple Coal Splits in the Hartshorne Formation, Western Arkoma Basin, Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2005-05-01)The Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) Hartshorne Formation of the Krebs Group was studied in Haskell, Latimer, McIntosh and Pittsburg Counties, Oklahoma. The purpose of this study was to examine evidence obtained from gas ... -
Glacial Changes Between 1985-2009 and Implications for Volcanic Hazards at Mt. Rainier, Washington
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-12-01)Therrmal Infrared Landsat scenes (Band 6) were collected and analyzed to quantify area changes and rates of change of Mt. Rainier glaciers between 1985 and 2009. Glacier change data was compared to measurements made by the ... -
A PALEOMAGNETIC AND PETROGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF UNCONFORMITY SURFACES IN NEVADA AND MISSOURI: POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS FOR PALEOWEATHERING PROCESSES
(2017-08)Paleomagnetic dating has proven to be a valuable tool in dating geologically significant events such as timing of deposition, deformation, or diagenesis. When combined with petrographic methods and field relationships, we ... -
Passive Processing of Active Nodal Seismic Data: Estimation of Vp∕Vs Ratios to Characterize Structure and Hydrology of an Alpine Valley Infill
(2019-08-15)The advent of cable-free nodal arrays for conventional seismic reflection and refraction experiments is changing the acquisition style for active-source surveys. Instead of triggering short recording windows for each shot, ... -
Qualifying classes of organic compounds within unprocessed produced water using ¹H-NMR analysis
(2022-12)Produced water (PW) is defined as any ground- or flowback water recovered during the process of petroleum extraction. This water is highly heterogeneous, containing many different organic compounds associated with petroleum ... -
Seismology in India: Colonial Geologists and the Raj, 1880-1910
(2018)At the end of the nineteenth century, seismologists were trying to create a ‘universal’ seismology that could be applied worldwide. Applying the observational European techniques in various places across the world challenged ... -
Sequence stratigraphic evaluation of the Prue Sandstone in Creek County, Oklahoma
(2019-12)The Prue Sandstone is studied extensively across northeastern Oklahoma and Kansas. Previous studies concluded the Prue Sandstone was deposited in a southerly prograding fluvial-deltaic complex with distributary channels ... -
Subsurface Distribution and Reservoir Properties of Wire-line Log Derived Depositional Cycles in the Atokan Bend Group, Denton County, Fort worth Basin, Texas
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-12-01)The purpose of this study is to examine the Bend Group in Denton County, Fort Worth Basin TX. The objectives include: a discussion of fan-delta depositional processes, depositional cycles, and environment; the construction ... -
Subsurface Geology of Arsenic-Bearing Permian Sedimentary Rocks in the Garber-Wellington Interval of the Central Oklahoma Aquifer, Cleveland County, Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2005-12-01)The Central Oklahoma Aquifer is an important source of drinking water in central Oklahoma. The major formations making up the aquifer, the Garber Sandstone and the Wellington Formation, consist of fluvial sandstones ... -
"That these few girls stand together": Finding women and their communities in the oil and gas industry
(2020-12)Women were involved in all facets of the petroleum industry, whether as support staff back at camp for men working in the fields or as the scientists deciding where to send those men to drill. Women had a presence in the ...
