SEISMIC DATA CONDITIONING AND ANALYSIS FOR FRACTURED RESERVOIRS
(2018)
The ability to identify the intensity and orientation of fractures within both unconventional and conventional resources can have a critical impact on oil field development. Fractures and faults are often the primary ...
SEISMIC ATTRIBUTES ASSISTED QUANTITATIVE UNCONVENTIONAL RESERVOIRS CHARACTERIZATION
(2018-05-11)
Unconventional reservoirs cover a wide range of hydrocarbon-bearing formations and reservoir types that generally do not produce economic rates of hydrocarbons without stimulation. The focus of this dissertation is to ...
TRILOBITE FAUNAS, SEDIMENTARY FACIES AND SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE UPPER ORDOVICIAN (SANDBIAN-KATIAN) SUCCESSION OF MISSOURI
(2015-05)
The late Sandbian-Katian interval (Upper Ordovician) was a time of major environmental change across Laurentia with highest recorded sea levels of the Paleozoic. While sequence stratigraphy, environmental change and faunal ...
AN ORGANIC GEOCHEMICAL STUDY OF WOODFORD SHALE AND WOODFORD-MISSISSIPPIAN TIGHT OIL FROM CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
(2016)
A comprehensive organic geochemical analysis was performed on a suite of core samples from the Woodford Shale in Central Oklahoma with the aim of characterizing variations in organic matter source, depositional environments ...
ATTRIBUTE ASSISTED SEISMIC FACIES, FAULTS, KARST, AND ANISOTROPY ANALYSIS
(2017-05-03)
Seismic attributes provide quantitative measures of key statistical, geometric, or kinematic components of the 3D seismic volume. These measures can thus be subsequently used in 3D visualization, interactive crossplotting, ...
Integrated Geophysical Studies of The Northeastern Caribbean Plate, Eastern Tibetan Plateau in China and Panhandle Field (Texas)
(2014-06)
There are three different areas and research projects that are the targets of this proposed dissertation. These projects have the common theme of integration of a variety of data but are at different scales. The first one ...
Analysis of Faulting and Earthquake Processes: from Laboratory Experiments to Crustal-Scale Investigations
(2017-12)
This dissertation encompasses a wide range of scale that investigates the tectonic processes in the crust with respect to faulting and earthquakes. of tectonic and earthquake processes in the crust. I present in four ...
SEISMIC EXPRESSION OF IGNEOUS BODIES IN SEDIMENTARY BASINS AND THEIR IMPACT ON HYDROCARBON EXPLORATION: EXAMPLES FROM A COMPRESSIVE TECTONIC SETTING, TARANAKI BASIN, NEW ZEALAND
(2018-05-11)
The impact of Neogene volcanism on hydrocarbon exploration in the Taranaki Basin, New Zealand remains under-explored. To better understand these effects, I performed detailed seismic interpretation coupled with examination ...
UTILIZATION OF CHEMOSTRATIGRAPHIC PROXIES FOR GENERATING AND REFINING SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHIC FRAMEWORKS IN MUDROCKS AND SHALES
(2016)
Recent advances in handheld XRF (HHXRF) technology provide an opportunity to demonstrate the utility of chemostratigraphy within mudrock successions. Three cores from Lincoln, Pottawatomie, and Pontotoc Counties in Oklahoma ...
Machine assisted quantitative seismic interpretation
(2017-05)
During the past decades, the size of 3D seismic data volumes and the number of seismic attributes have increased to the extent that it is difficult, if not impossible, for interpreters to examine every seismic line and ...
