Reservoir Characterization of the Brae Formation, South Brae Field, UK North Sea
Matemilola, Muizz (2018-12)The South Brae Field is located 166 miles off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland in the UK sector of the North Sea. The Upper Jurassic Brae submarine channel-fan complex deposits are the primary hydrocarbon reservoirs in UK ... -
Seismic attribute analyses and attenuation applications for detecting gas hydrate presence
Clairmont, Roberto (2021-05-16)Although regions of continental margins that consist of subduction zones are not currently prospects for the exploration of oil and gas; they do host a large proportion of the global accumulation of methane hydrates. The ... -
SEISMIC FACIES CLASSIFICATION OF THE LOWER STRAWN FORMATION, BEND-ARCH, FORT WORTH BASIN, NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS
Prado Barros, Enkar David (2016-12-17)The Bend Arch- Fort Worth Basin is a tectonically active area along north-central Texas that exhibits a complex sediment distribution. While Pennsylvanian plays have been one of the main exploratory targets, the depositional ... -
Seismic Reprocessing of a Granite Wash Survey, Buffalow Wallow Field, Anadarko Basin, Texas
Olorunsola, Oluwatobi (2017-12-16)Although considered one of the more productive oil and gas reservoirs in the United States, the Pennsylvanian-age Granite Wash reservoir remain poorly understood. Amongst a myriad of issues that hinder development of ... -
Seismic Stratigraphy of a Circular Concave-Downward Structure, Chukchi Sea
Ruiz Lozano, Andres Hernan (2017-12-15)A circular concave-downward structure (CCDS) and its structural features and seismic facies can be observed in several 2D seismic lines imaging the Chukchi Sea planning area. The area in question is largely underexplored ... -
Seismic-constrained Lithology Prediction and Reservoir-quality Modeling using Pre-stack Inversion and Bayesian Classification, Mississippian Meramec strata, eastern Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
Williams, Madison (2020-05)The Mississippian Meramec strata within the STACK (Sooner Trend in the Anadarko [Basin] in Canadian and Kingfisher counties) play of central Oklahoma is primarily a fine-grained mixed siliciclastic-carbonate system composed ... -
SEISMICITY AND SOURCE SPECTRA ANALYSIS IN SALTON SEA GEOTHERMAL FIELD
Cheng, Yifang (2016)The surge of “man-made” earthquakes in recent years has led to considerable concerns about the associated hazards. Improved monitoring of small earthquakes would significantly help understand such phenomena and the underlying ... -
STRATIGRAPHIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE MISSISSIPPIAN LIMESTONE THROUGH INTEGRATED ELECTROFACIES CLASSIFICATION, HARDTNER FIELD AREA, KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA
Wethington, Niles (2017-05-13)The Mississippian Limestone formed through complex structural, stratigraphic, and diagenetic processes involving subsidence, tectonic uplift leading to periodic subaerial exposure, changes in ocean chemistry, variability ... -
Stratigraphic Variability of Mississippian Meramec Chemofacies and Petrophysical Properties Using Machine Learning and Geostatistical Modeling, STACK Trend, Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
Hardisty, Lura (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 ... -
UNCONVENTIONAL WOODFORD SHALE CHARACTERIZATION USING SEISMIC ANISOTROPY
Oyebanji, Oluwatobiloba Francis (2019)Information on the geomechanical condition of the vertical and lateral heterogeneities in unconventional reservoirs is critical in designing completion programs for targets such as the 100 ft thick, 10,000 ft deep Woodford ... -
Using 3D Seismic Attributes to Investigate Mud Losses in a Fluvial-Deltaic Sand: An Example From the Oliver Sandstone
Elder, Jake (2017)Drilling operations in an actively developed basin in Wyoming can experience large quantities of mud losses in a shallow zone along the intermediate (vertical) section of the wellbore. These losses can negatively impact ...
