Sediment dispersal, reservoir quality, and provenance analysis of the early Missourian Cleveland Sandstone, western Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
(2022-05)
Distribution of Late Paleozoic strata in the Anadarko basin was driven by a complex interplay between the tectonic activity of several potential source areas, cyclic flooding of the North American Craton due to Gondwanan ...
Mapping Pennsylvanian stratigraphy and elevation of the fresh-saline groundwater interface using geophysical well logs in Carroll County, Ohio
(2022-12)
Carroll County in eastern Ohio overlies the western portion of the Appalachian Basin and is dominated by surface sediments consisting of Pennsylvanian fluvial deposits. These deposits are approximately 30.48 meters (1,000 ...
Role of biominerals in enhancing the geophysical response at hydrocarbon contaminated sites
(2013-05)
There are several source mechanisms by which microbial activity in the subsurface can change geophysical signatures. To date the source mechanisms generating the geophysical signatures in microbially active environments ...
Evaluation of potential paleochannels in the Washita Alluvium and Terrace aquifer, Oklahoma
(2020-12)
Aquifers comprised of alluvium are often an important source of water for industrial, municipal, and environmental purposes. To best manage and protect these complex hydrogeologic systems, a comprehensive evaluation is ...
Integrated fracture and stress characterization, Mississippian "Meramec and Osage" intervals, STACK play, central Oklahoma
(2019-05)
Characterization of fractures, paleo-stresses, and the in-situ stress state is a major topic of interest among geoscientists and engineers in the petroleum industry. Fractures can significantly influence reservoir quality, ...
Depositional processes and reservoir quality of the lower Permian Wolfcamp Formation in the Delaware Basin, West Texas
(2021-05)
The Delaware Basin, located in southeast New Mexico and west Texas, is the westernmost sub-basin of the Permian Basin. With an estimated 24 billion barrels of recoverable oil, the lower Permian Wolfcamp Formation is one ...
Monitoring the Robert S. Kerr dam and its Mississippian bedrock foundation using satellite and bathymetric surveys
(2023-05)
The Grand River Dam Authority (GRDA) contracted and funded the Boone Pickens School of Geology to conduct studies over several of GRDA’s dams along the Grand River system to better analyze the dams’ structural integrity. ...
Beneficial Use of Produced Water and Carbon Dioxide in Depleted Oil Reservoirs: In-Situ Microbial Conversion of Crude Oil to Methane
(2019-05-01)
Produced water from oil and gas reservoirs contains high levels of organic chemicals and heavy metals whose concentrations, in many cases, exceeds USA drinking water standards. To prevent the contamination of underground ...
Nature of the Naga Thrust and Fold Belt, Assam Shelf, India: Insights from cross-sectional balancing
(2021-05)
The Naga Thrust and Fold Belt of the Assam Shelf, India, is one of the most prolific onshore hydrocarbon provinces in the world remaining underexplored due to limited conceptualization and testing of structural concepts. ...
Hydrothermal vents and their impact on paleoenvironmental proxies
(2022-12)
Trace metals such as cobalt, copper, molybdenum, and uranium have been used as redox and productivity proxies to interpret paleoenvironments. However, the presence of a hydrothermal vent could potentially alter the ...
