RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING OF THE DESMOINESIAN SERIES GRANITE WASH, BUFFALO WALLOW FIELD, ANADARKO BASIN, TEXAS
(2017)
The Desmoinesian Series Granite Wash at Buffalo Wallow Field represents deepwater
deposits including slumps, channels, and submarine fan lobes that consist of six major
lithofacies as mudstone, interbedded mudstone and ...
FLUVIAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE BURRO CANYON FORMATION USING UAV-BASED PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND OUTCROP-BASED MODELING: IMPLICATIONS FOR RESERVOIR PERFORMANCE, RATTLESNAKE CANYON, SOUTHWESTERN PICEANCE BASIN, COLORADO
(2018)
The stratigraphic variability of fluvial architectural elements and their internal lithological and petrophysical heterogeneity influence static connectivity and fluid flow. To explore the impact of fluvial architecture ...
High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy of the NPRA, North Slope, Alaska
(2019)
The deposition of sediment in the Ikpikpuk-Umiat Basin of the NPRA has been governed by four distinct tectonic phases: 1) Franklinian crustal shortening, 2) Ellesmerian continental sag, 3) Beaufortian continental rifting, ...
Dynamic Shear Rupture along Faults: Experiments and Simulations
(2013-12-14)
Earthquakes are events of unstable shear rupture that propagate along fault-zones in the crust. Earthquake rupture processes have been the focus of experimental analyses and numerical simulations, yet many details are still ...
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE WICHITA UPLIFT AND STRUCTURES IN THE SOUTHEAST ANADARKO BASIN, SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
(2019-12)
Regional structural transects across the Wichita Uplift and adjacent Anadarko Basin show the relationship between thick-skinned basement-involved structures and thin-skinned detached fold-thrust structures. Slip from the ...
Stress Analysis of Recent Earthquakes in Oklahoma
(2016-07)
The central US, especially Oklahoma, has become a seismically active region since 2009. Knowing the current stress state of the crust in Oklahoma is essential for understanding this activity increase. My thesis focuses on ...
Impact of Viscous Acid-in-Oil Emulsion Formation on Well Productivity Following Acid Stimulation
(2016-12-16)
Acid stimulation techniques matrix acidizing and acid fracturing are commonly applied in carbonate reservoirs. The goal of such techniques is to increase well productivity by enhancing permeability in the near wellbore ...
DETAILED LITHOSTRATIGRAPHIC CHARACTERIZATION AND SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF A COMPLETE WOODFORD SHALE OUTCROP SECTION IN SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
(2017-08)
This work presents a detailed rock-based and stratigraphic documentation of an unpublished and recently discovered Woodford Shale outcrop in the south flank of the Arbuckle Mountains (southern Oklahoma). The exposed section ...
CONTROLS OF PRE-EXISTING NORMAL FAULTS ON THE GEOMETRY AND LOCATION OF THRUST FAULTS IN FOLD-THRUST BELTS
(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 ...
Parasequence-Scale Stratigraphic Variability of Lithology and Porosity of Mississippian Meramec Reservoirs and the Relationships to Production Characteristics, STACK Trend, Oklahoma
(2018)
Mississippian Meramec reservoirs of the STACK (Sooner Trend in the Anadarko Basin of Canadian and Kingfisher counties) play in central Oklahoma consist of mixed siliciclastic and carbonate deposits. Depositional environments ...
