Quantitative analysis of material contrasts and wave propagation in periodic layered media.
(2006)
Dispersive behavior is studied in detail. It is shown that there are critical contrasts at which different stop-bands disappear, as well as a critical angle at which all stop-bands disappear. This characterization of the ...
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 ...
Mechanisms and rates of strength recovery in laboratory fault zones.
(2001)
The results of this investigation may be applied to explain observations of rapid strengthening along large, active crustal fault zones such as parts of the San Andreas Fault system in California and the Nojima fault in ...
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 ...
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 ...
Widespread chemical remagnetization: Orogenic fluids or burial diagenesis of clays?
(1998)
The results of this study indicate that widespread or pervasive chemical remanent magnetizations (CRMs) can form as a consequence of the burial diagenetic conversion of smectite to illite. Paleomagnetic, rock magnetic, and ...
SEISMIC SOLUTIONS FOR UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCE PLAYS
(2014-12)
Unconventional reservoir plays an increasingly important role for hydrocarbon exploration. Every reservoir has its unique properties, but it is mostly characterized by low permeability, such that hydraulic fracturing is ...
Pseudo-inverse imaging for ground penetrating radar data.
(2001)
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a proven method of characterizing the shallow subsurface. Most interpretations using GPR have relied upon raw data records or records that have been processed with seismic data processing ...
