Stratigraphic Variability of Mississippian Meramec Chemofacies and Petrophysical Properties Using Machine Learning and Geostatistical Modeling, STACK Trend, Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
(2019-12-13)Mississippian deposits and reservoirs in the STACK play (Sooner Trend in the Anadarko [Basin] in Canadian and Kingfisher counties) of central Oklahoma are comprised of silty limestones, calcareous siltstones, argillaceou ... -
Stratigraphy and palynomorphs composition of the Woodford Shale in the Wyche Farm Shale Pit, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma
This work presents a detailed lithofacies description and sequence stratigraphy model for the fine grained rocks cored at the Wyche-I well, in the Lawrence Uplift, Pontotoc County, Oklahoma. The detailed core description, ... -
STREAM FRAGMENTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITION IN THE GREAT PLAINS
(2017-05-12)Rivers and streams within the Great Plains have undergone extensive levels of fragmentation by road culverts, which has led to habitat loss, degraded water quality, and a loss of aquatic biodiversity. There is a pressing ... -
Strengths and Limitations of NSSL's Experimental Warn-on-Forecast System for Ensembles in Forecasting Cyclic Mesocyclogenesis
(2018-12-14)Cyclic mesocyclogenesis is the process by which a supercell produces multiple mesocyclones with similar life cycles. Supercells that exhibit cyclic mesocyclogenesis (i.e. cyclic supercells) have the potential to produce ... -
Stress Analysis of Recent Earthquakes in Oklahoma
(2016-07)The central US, especially Oklahoma, has become a seismically active region since 2009. Knowing the current stress state of the crust in Oklahoma is essential for understanding this activity increase. My thesis focuses on ... -
STRESS PATH AND PORE PRESSURE IN AND AROUND A PRODUCING FORMATION PIERCED BY A SALT DOME
(2018)The pore pressure decrease due to production from a reservoir causes changes in the total and effective stresses, leading to compaction and deformation of the reservoir and the surrounding rocks, which can translate into ... -
Structural analysis of a naturally fractured carbonate field in the south-east Gulf of Mexico.
(2018-05)Fractured carbonates produce more than 85% of hydrocarbon production in Mexico. A large number of the producing fields are located in the South Gulf Salt Province (SGSP) in Campeche Bay within the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridgian ... -
Structural and stratigraphic evaluation of the southern Belgian anticline area, north Midway-Sunset field, San Joaquin Basin, California
(2007)The Midway-Sunset field is located in the West Side fold belt in the San Joaquin Basin of California. The structures in the area, including the Midway-Sunset, Buena Vista, and Elk Hills anticlines, were formed during ... -
STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY OF THE WOODFORD SHALE IN THE SOUTHEASTERN ANADARKO BASIN, GRADY COUNTY, OKLAHOMA
(2018-05)The Anadarko basin, especially the SCOOP (South Central Oklahoma Oil Play) and Merge areas, has become one of the most prospective and successful oil plays in the country. However, there is an increasing need to refine and ... -
Structural Survey of the Woodford Shale at McAlister Cemetery Quarry, Carter County, Oklahoma
(2017-05)The focus of this thesis is creating a geologic map of the Woodford Shale in McAlister Cemetery Quarry, and providing data indicating how the bitumen in fractures came to be in this location. Prior studies have focused on ... -
Structure of tropopause polar vortices represented from the atmospheric profiles of satellite observations
(2022-12-16)Tropopause polar vortices (TPVs) are sub-synoptic tropopause disturbances commonly found poleward of the polar jet stream. Their roles in cyclogenesis and linkages to mid-latitude weather make them relevant to the improvement ... -
Structure-Independent Conformal Quasi-Isotropic Antennas for Small Unmanned Aircraft System Applications
(2017-12-15)Communication systems for aircraft are often implemented through antennas that protrude from the airframe and contain radiation nulls - which have detrimental effects on the aerodynamics of the craft and its ability to ... -
Student Reported Distractions to Homework Completion
(2017)The purpose of this study was to investigate the distractions that keep 8th grade students from completing their homework. Much research exists about homework across all grade levels. The bulk of this research highlights ... -
STUDIES UTILIZING DECELLULARIZED HUMAN AMNIOTIC MEMBRANE AND SW-620 CELLS AS A PRELUDE TO 3D IN VITRO CULTURES
(2017)The prevalence of cancer in modern society has increased from 14.1 million new diagnoses and 8.2 million deaths in 2012 to an estimated 21.7 million new diagnoses and 13 million cancer-related deaths projected in 2030. The ... -
Study of CO2 Solubility in Brine and Mineralization in Mafic Basaltic Formations
(2023-05)A huge amount of CO2 emissions should be mitigated for environmental benefits and to reach net zero by 2050. One method to mitigate these emissions is permanent CO2 sequestration through mineralization. CO2 can be mineralized ... -
Study of Effects of Lighting On Social Interactions Within Cafes
(2021-12-17)There is currently a lack of research surrounding the topic of how lighting can affect socialization in environments where socialization is a key function. This study aims to identify how lighting parameters influence ... -
