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 ...
Physico-chemical behaviors of shale/fluid/solute interaction in geo-environmental and geo-engineering applications.
(2007)
This dissertation examines the rich and complex physical-mechanical behaviors exhibited by shales when exposed to differing solutions over time, temperature, chemical, and stress conditions. Using several unique experimental ...
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 ...
Long offset seismic data analysis for resources plays
(2014-07-31)
Wide-azimuth, long-offset seismic surveys are becoming increasingly common in unconventional exploration plays, where three the key objectives are to estimate the direction of maximum horizontal stress, to predict the ...
SEISMIC DATA MULTI-SPECTRAL ANALYSIS, ATTENUATION ESTIMATION AND SEISMIC SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY ENHANCEMENT APPLIED TO CONVENTIONAL AND UNCONVENTIONAL RESERVOIRS
(2017-08)
Seismic data are an essential resource for interpretation, providing abundant information about geological structures, sedimentation, stratigraphy and reservoir quality. Geophysicists have dedicated tremendous efforts in ...
Applied petroleum source rock evaluation and high-resolution sequence stratigraphy for unconventional reservoirs in La Luna Formation (Cenomanian- Santonian) Northwest Maracaibo Basin, Venezuela.
(2019-05-10)
Since the early 2000s, the exploitation of unconventional reservoirs has become very important around the world because of their high potential source of energy and their high economic value. Venezuela possesses a world-class, ...
Mathematical modeling and ultrasonic measurement of shale anisotropy and a comparison of upscaling methods from sonic to seismic.
(2007)
The theoretical understanding of the effective media modeling is used to model Barnett Shale, which is one of the largest natural gas plays in the World. After the estimation of mineralogical assemblage using FTIR- and XRD ...
