RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING OF A CRETACEOUS TRIPLE POROSITY CARBONATE RESERVOIR CONTRIBUTION OF PORE TYPES TO HYDROCARBON PORE VOLUME AND PRODUCTION, CAMPECHE SOUND, GULF OF MEXICO
(2019-05-10)
Campeche Sound, located southeast of the continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. represents about 80% of the national hydrocarbons production of Mexico, and comprises several giant oilfields, including Cantarell and ...
The Woodford Shale in the Marietta Basin (Oklahoma and North Texas)
(2019-05-10)
A geologic characterization of the Woodford Shale in the Marietta Basin has never been published due to the very limited data in the basin. The primary goal of this dissertation is to identify, analyze and interpret the ...
Rock friction and dynamic faulting at the micro- to nano-scales
(2015-05-08)
An earthquake occurs when the shear resistance of a crustal fault drops from static friction to dynamic friction during slip. Understanding fault weakening mechanisms is essential for the understanding of earthquake ...
INTEGRATED RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION AND GEOLOGICAL UPSCALING FOR RESERVOIR FLOW SIMULATIONS OF THE SYCAMORE/MERAMEC AND HUNTON PLAYS IN OKLAHOMA
(2019-05-10)
This study fully integrates multidisciplinary, multi-scalar subsurface and surface data for successful exploration and development programs in a fractured rock reservoir. Unconventional Sycamore/Meramec and conventional ...
INTEGRATION OF GEOCHEMISTRY, TOXICOLOGY, AND EPIDEMIOLOGY TO EVALUATE THE LIGNITE-WATER HYPOTHESIS IN THE UNITED STATES GULF COAST REGION
(2017-12-15)
Many Gulf Coast states including Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana rely on groundwater from aquifers that contain low-rank coal called lignite. These lignite seams may be a source of dissolved organic matter, and continuous ...
Dynamic Shear Rupture along Faults: Experiments and Simulations
(2013-12-14)
Earthquakes are events of unstable shear rupture that propagate along fault-zones in the crust. Earthquake rupture processes have been the focus of experimental analyses and numerical simulations, yet many details are still ...
Physical and Chemical Weathering of Alluvial Systems of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica
(2015-08-14)
Chemical weathering of sediments derived from wet-based glaciation is typically correlated to water discharge rates, wherein glacially produced fines are susceptible to chemical alteration due to abraded mineral textures ...
Seismic attribute expression of fluvial-deltaic and turbidite systems
(2014-12)
Much of the world's conventional oil and gas production comes from
uvial deltaic and turbidite reservoirs. The ability to accurately interpret the architectural elements comprising these systems greatly reduces the risk ...
MAGNETIC FABRICS AND PALEOMAGNETISM OF NORTH AMERICAN MUDROCKS: RELICS OF COMPLEX BURIAL HISTORIES
(2018-12-14)
Rock fabrics have long been recognized as a key variable influencing unconventional reservoir properties and yet, petrofabric analysis is rarely incorporated in reservoir characterization in a quantitative and scalable ...
Experimental and Natural Studies of Mn and the Isotopes of B in Granite-Pegmatite Systems
(2017-12)
Partition coefficients (D) and exchange coefficients (KD) for Fe, Mn, and Mg between tourmaline (Tur), garnet (Grt), cordierite (Crd) and granitic melt were measured between 650°C and 850°C at 200 MPaH2O. Manganese is ...
