Integrated characterization of the Woodford Shale in the southern Cherokee Platform, Oklahoma
The Late Devonian-Early Mississippian, organic-rich Woodford Shale is considered as one of the most important unconventional resources for oil and gas in the United States of America. This formation was targeted for gas ... -
Integrated Diagenetic and Paleomagnetic Study of the Sycamore Formation in the Southern Flank of the Arbuckle Anticline, Southern Oklahoma
(2021-05-16)This study aimed to evaluate the paragenesis of the Mississippian Sycamore Formation in the southern Flank of the Arbuckle Anticline in order to document the extent of diagenetic alteration in outcrop, assess the factors ... -
Integrated Geochemistry and Sedimentology of the Wolfcamp B3 and B2 Intervals, Midland Basin, TX
(2019)The Permian-aged, hydrocarbon-rich, mixed carbonate-siliciclastic mudrocks of Midland Basin Wolfcamp B2 and B3 are highly heterogeneous, making paleoenvironmental reconstruction difficult. The high-frequency lithologic and ... -
INTEGRATED GEOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION AT THE BED SCALE OF THE WOODFORD SHALE AT THE I-35 OUTCROP, SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
(2017)A road-cut exposure located on the southern flank of the Arbuckle anticline along the Interstate-35 provided the opportunity to document in detail the lithological heterogeneities of the uppermost 81 feet of the Woodford ... -
Integrated geomechanics and geological characterization of the Devonian-Mississippian Woodford Shale
(2011)In this thesis, preserved Woodford Shale samples of different mineralogy compositions were obtained from a shallow research well in Oklahoma and prepared for various laboratory mechanical characterizations including the ... -
An Integrated LiDAR-XRF Study and Geomechanical Lithofacies Analysis of the Leonardian Upper Bone Spring Formation, Bone Canyon, Texas
(2019-05)The purpose of this study is to constrain geomechanical parameters effecting hydraulic stimulation networks within the upper Bone Spring formation, through the collection and examination of outcrop data. Data utilized in ... -
INTEGRATED MODELING AND SIMULATION OF MULTI-STAGE HYDRAULIC FRACTURED WELLS IN THE WOODFORD SHALE
(2019-08-01)The Late Devonian-Early Mississippian Woodford shale is known as the main source rock in the state of Oklahoma, and one of the most attractive unconventional plays in the U.S. Early Woodford’s exploration and development ... -
An Integrated Paleomagnetic and Diagenetic Study of the Womble Shale in the Benton Uplift, Arkansas
(2021-05-16)The objective of this project is to conduct an integrated paleomagnetic and diagenetic study of the Ordovician Womble Shale in Mt. Ida, Arkansas, in order to test if diagenetic events can be identified and dated with ... -
Integrated petrophysical-seismic sequence stratigraphy of the mixed carbonate clastic sediment gravity flows of the Bone Spring Formation, New Mexico
(2020)The Bone Spring Formation is one of the dominant oil and gas producing formations in the Permian Basin today. It is Leonardian in age and lies just below the Guadeloupian Brushy Canyon Formation in the Delaware Basin. ... -
Integrated Production Data Analysis of Horizontal Fractured Well in Unconventional Reservoir
(2016-12-16)This thesis presents a novel analytical solution to predict the expansion of drainage volume for compound transient linear flow system consisting of stimulated-reservoir volume (SRV) and unstimulated shale/tight sandstone ... -
Integrated System to Reduce Emissions from a Natural Gas-Fired Reciprocating Engine
(2022-08)Internal Combustion (IC) engines are a significant source of environmental pollution; therefore, global efforts are being made for their growth and sustainability. Mainly, the Natural Gas-Fired Reciprocating Engines (NGFRE), ... -
INTEGRATING EFFECTS OF GEOMECHANICS, PHASE BEHAVIOR UNDER CONFINEMENT AND PERMEABLITY AS A FUNCTION OF PORE SIZE ON GAS AND CONDENSATE PRODUCTION FROM UNCONVENTIONAL RESOURCES
(2016-05-13)Modeling production in a naturally fractured shale gas condensate reservoir that has been stimulated in commercial simulators faces many challenges. Phase behavior and geomechanics cannot be easily incorporated and have ... -
