Aftershock decay in space and time of induced seismicity in Oklahoma
Rosson, Zachary (2019-05-10)The current paradigm for estimating long-term seismic hazard in a region includes removing dependent earthquakes that occur after a mainshock, otherwise known as aftershocks, from an earthquake catalog to identify the ... -
Application of seismic attributes and machine learning clustering techniques to the characterization of faults in a post-salt reservoir, Jubarte Field (Campos Basin)
Perico, Edimar (2021-05-14)Seismic reflection datasets represent an important source of information capable of revealing structural features in the subsurface, such as fault zones. Faults can be interpreted using the original amplitude volumes, ... -
Application of seismic attributes and unsupervised machine learning methods for identification of hidden faults in basement and carbonate rocks
Salazar Florez, Diana (2023-12-15)Seismic fault interpretation is a critical task for any type of energy industry and correct fault mapping can be crucial for the success of a project. Common geometric seismic attributes such as coherence and curvature are ... -
Aspects of Seismicity Clustering, Subsurface Structure, and Stress Orientations
Ortega Romo, Angie (2020-05-08)I study aspects of seismicity clustering, subsurface structures and stress orientations by analyzing seismicity at two of the most seismically active regions in the USA (Hawaii and Central USA). The notable volcanic, ... -
Comparing ambient-noise-based seismic velocity variations with dynamic and static strain changes associated with major earthquake rupture at Parkfield
Li, Haoyu (2023-06-22)Stress perturbations across a fault zone can change seismic wave velocity in the adjacent area, with implications for rock properties and fault mechanics. Ambient noise seismic interferometry is increasingly used to retrieve ... -
HIGH RESOLUTION INTEGRATED VAIL-GALLOWAY SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE LEONARDIAN BONE SPRING FORMATION, N. DELAWARE BASIN, SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO
Frazier, Cyril (2019-12)Leonardian-aged Bone Spring Formation of the Northern Delaware Basin is investigated using both 3D seismic and petrophysical data. An integrated Vail-Galloway sequence stratigraphic approach was adopted to account for the ... -
High resolution XRF-Schmidt hammer based sequence and geomechanical stratigraphy of the Leonardian Bone Spring formation, Shumard Canyon, Guadalupe Mountain National Park
Layden, Andrew (2020-05-08)A high-resolution sequence and geomechanical stratigraphic investigation was conducted on one of the most prolific formations in the Delaware Basin: the Permian, Leonardian aged, shelf to proximal slope Bone Spring formation, ... -
An Integrated LiDAR-XRF Study and Geomechanical Lithofacies Analysis of the Leonardian Upper Bone Spring Formation, Bone Canyon, Texas
Plemons, Travis (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 ... -
INVESTIGATION OF FAULTING PROCESSES OF TWO M5 EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCES IN OKLAHOMA
Pennington, Colin (2017-05)I investigate the stress interaction inside different earthquake clusters to better understand the factors that might drive and control seismicity. I examine a catalog of 6226 events that have been relocated using the ... -
THE MECHANICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF SUBSURFACE LITHOLOGIES USING AN INTEGRATED APPROACH; COMBINING LABORATORY STUDIES, BOREHOLE & DRILLING DATA AND SEISMIC INFORMATION TO EXPLAIN HYDROCARBON PRODUCTION IN MATURE FIELDS
Vera-Arroyo, Alexandro (2019-05-10)In our current energy landscape, subsurface assessment challenges within the oil industry are becoming more difficult. Mature stage reservoirs present an opportunity to individually investigate different components of the ... -
Post-migration seismic data conditioning methods on a merged dataset
Blanco Dufau, Pamela (2024-05-11)Analyzing amplitude anomalies in seismic data requires a comprehensive understanding of the geological context and the accuracy of the seismic image to faithfully represent the subsurface. Over the past four decades, ... -
A Retrospective, Machine-learning Assisted Analysis of Seismic Sequence Migrations in Oklahoma and Delineating Fault Structures
Sims, Kaycee (2022)Seismogenic fault geometries are important to understanding the seismic potential of fault slip in natural systems. Their orientation relative to the principal tectonic stress directions control their susceptibility to ... -
Seismic attribute optimization with unsupervised machine learning techniques for deepwater seismic facies interpretation: users vs machines
La Marca, Karelia (2020-07)Machine learning (ML) has many applications within the geosciences, from predicting seismic facies, to automatic fault detection. A variety of machine learning algorithms are commonly employed, among these principal component ... -
Seismic Radiation During Slip Along Bi-material Faults: An Experimental Investigation
Shadoan, Tanner (2019-05-10)Large slip along faults is likely to place crustal blocks of different lithological and mechanical properties against one another, a process that forms a bi-material fault. To explore the behavior of such faults, I conducted ... -
Stress Analysis of Recent Earthquakes in Oklahoma
Qi, Wen (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 ... -
STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY OF THE WOODFORD SHALE IN THE SOUTHEASTERN ANADARKO BASIN, GRADY COUNTY, OKLAHOMA
Castro Manrique, Brian (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 ... -
Towards the Usage of Quarry Blasts as Active Seismic Source
Li, Peiyao (2018)Active seismic sources are often used to obtain subsurface structure via seismic imaging. The geophone’s capability to capture signals at lower frequencies is significantly improved, thus, we are no longer restricted to ...
