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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
