Sequence stratigraphy, fracture characterization, and rebound hardness analysis of the unconventional "Mississippian Limestone"/STACK play, north-central Oklahoma, USA
(2019-12)
The "Mississippian Limestone"/STACK play in Oklahoma has been a prolific hydrocarbon play for decades. However, several critical aspects, all of which are valuable for reservoir characterization, such as core-based sequence ...
Reciprocal characteristics of surface waves: Detecting near surface anomalies
(2020-07)
The dispersive nature of surface waves (different frequencies traveling at different velocities) predominately depends on the subsurface shear-wave properties. The near-surface community takes advantage of this phenomenon ...
Evaluation of CO2 storage potential in offshore strata, mid-south Atlantic: Southeast Offshore Storage Resource Assessment (SOSRA)
(2022-07)
Subsurface geological storage of CO2 has the potential to significantly offset greenhouse gas emissions for safe, economic, and acceptable public use of fossil fuels. Due to legal advantages and vast resource capacity, ...
Analyzing seasonal variations in benthic foraminifera in Budd Inlet, Puget Sound, Washington, U.S.A.
(2023-05)
Coastal and estuarine pollution has been a growing concern within this century. Benthic foraminifera have been commonly used as a bioindicator for waterway pollution because of their abundance, diversity, and relatively ...
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 ...
U-Pb and Hf detrital zircon geochronology and provenance of the Missourian Cottage Grove Sandstone, northern Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
(2022-05)
The Late Pennsylvanian Cottage Grove Sandstone in the northern Anadarko Basin of northwest Oklahoma is characterized as a series of shallow marine shoals that display reservoir heterogeneity largely driven by detrital ...
Detrital zircon geochronology and provenance analysis of the Desmoinesian (Middle Pennsylvanian) Bartlesville and Red Fork sandstones, Cherokee Platform and Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
(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 ...
Evaluating macropore flow with temporal electrical resistivity imaging in riparian areas
(2021-05)
Riparian soils are uniquely susceptible to the formation of macropores, voids with preferential flow in comparison to surrounding strata, which are hypothesized to promote fast transport of water through soil layers. ...
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 ...
Assessing fracture networks and geochemistry of geothermal systems in magma-poor continental rifts: An example from the Malawi Rifted Zone
(2022-05)
This doctoral dissertation investigates structurally controlled geothermal systems of poor-magma continental rifts in the Western Branch, using as an example the Malawi Rifted Zone (MRZ). The MRZ is at the southern end of ...
