An integrated diagenetic and paleomagnetic study of the Haynesville Shale, Harrison County, Texas
Benton, Alexander Keith (2013)An integrated diagenetic and paleomagnetic study of the Upper Jurassic Haynesville Shale was undertaken to determine the origin and timing of diagenetic events in this prolific shale-gas unit. Characterization of diagenesis ... -
BASELINE CONCENTRATIONS OF CONTAMINANTS OF EMERGING CONCERN IN THE LAKE THUNDERBIRD WATERSHED, PLANNING FOR INDIRECT POTABLE REUSE IN OKLAHOMA
Horton, Ashley (2018-05)The City of Norman, OK is planning an indirect potable reuse (IPR) project to augment their water supply. The IPR project involves transferring treated effluent from the Norman Water Reclamation Facility (NWRF) to Dave ... -
Calibrating seismic fracture prediction using borehole image logs, application to the Mississippian Limestone
Cook, Stephanie (2016-05)The Mississippian Limestone of North Oklahoma and Southern Kansas has been one of the more active Midcontinent resource plays of the past decade, with over 4,300 horizontal wells drilled and completed between 2010 and 2015 ... -
A comparison of potentially impact-related diagenesis in impact structures with carbonate targets
Simpson, Emily (2021-05-16)A petrographic and isotopic analysis of the carbonate target rocks at the Jeptha Knob structure, the Serpent Mound impact structure, and the Decaturville impact structure was conducted to better understand potentially ... -
CORE BASED DEPOSITIONAL, CHEMOSTRATIGRAPHIC, AND DIAGENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE UPPER WOLFCAMP, SOUTHERN DELAWARE BASIN, TEXAS
Layman, Calvin (2019-05-10)The Wolfcamp Series in the Southern Delaware Basin of West Texas is Permian in age and is composed of a mix of siliciclastics and carbonates deposited through pelagic sedimentation, turbidity currents, and mass wasting in ... -
A Diagenetic Study of the Wolfcamp Shale in the Midland Basin, West Texas
Wickard, Alyssa (2016-05-14)The lower Permian Wolfcamp Shale is a major unconventional resource play in the Permian Basin. Near the eastern margin of the Midland Basin the Wolfcamp Shale is comprised of calcareous and siliceous mudstones interbedded ... -
Effect of biodegradation on tar sand bitumen of South Woodford Area, Carter County, Oklahoma
Lin, Lihua (1987)Tar-sand bitumens from the South Woodford Area have been analyzed to study effects of biodegradation on oils and to determine their possible sources. The tar-sand deposits, located approximately 1.5 miles south of Woodford, ... -
Evaluating Cation Exchange as a Driver for Manganese Release During Carbonate Dissolution
Maples, Brandon (2020-12-18)The Central Oklahoma Aquifer (COA) is a heterogeneous siliciclastic aquifer with clays and small amounts of Mn-containing dolomite scattered throughout. Areas of COA groundwater are well-known for the presence of naturally ... -
High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy of the Leonardian Bone Spring Formation Outcrop of Bone Canyon, Guadalupe Mountains, West Texas and its Correlation to the Subsurface
Brown, Andrew (2020-05)The purpose of this Thesis is to analyze the Upper Leonardian Bone Spring Formation, Cutoff Formation, and Early Guadalupian Brushy Canyon Formation in the outcrop of Bone Canyon located along the Western Escarpment of the ... -
Hydrogeologic characterization of the Antlers Formation and aquifer in southern and southeastern Oklahoma
Hernandez, R. Jacob, III (2015)The Cretaceous-aged Antlers Formation crops out in several counties just north of the Texas border in southern and southeastern Oklahoma. The Antlers is composed of sands, conglomerates, clays, and limestones that lie ... -
An Integrated Paleomagnetic and Diagenetic Study of the Womble Shale in the Benton Uplift, Arkansas
Smith, Elizabeth (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 ... -
Interpreting climatic change during the Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene in Oklahoma based on the stable isotope and amino acid composition of fossil bison bones
Zahrai, Shayda KatherineThe stable isotope values from both the orgamc (collagen, δ13C, δ15N) and inorganic (hydroxyapatite, δ13C, δ18O) components within fossil bison bones and teeth were used to determine climatic shifts in Oklahoma during the ... -
PALEOMAGNETIC ANALYSIS OF THE FLYNN CREEK AND WELLS CREEK IMPACT STRUCTURES, TENNESSEE, U.S.A.
Rohleder, Nicholas (2019)The Flynn Creek impact structure consists of a 3.8-km circular feature that contains deformed Ordovician through Devonian limestones and dolomites. The age of this structure is stratigraphically constrained by the ... -
REGIONAL STRATIGRAPHY AND DIAGENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MISSISSIPPIAN MERAMEC, OSAGE, AND SYCAMORE FORMATIONS, ANADARKO BASIN, CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
Terrell, Cory (2019-05)The principal goals of this study were to characterize the regional stratigraphy, analyze the extent of diagenetic alteration, and determine the factors controlling reservoir quality of the Meramec, Osage, and Sycamore ... -
