Experimental Modeling of Geometry and Evolution of Structures above Ductile and Frictional Detachments
(2016-05-13)
Fold-thrust belts formed above ductile units like salt are typically characterized by detachment folds, whereas those formed above frictional detachments contain fault-related folds, such as fault-bend folds and duplexes. ...
Correlation of Bioturbated Facies, Chemostratigraphy, Total Organic Carbon, and Sequence Stratigraphy in the Woodford Shale of South Central Oklahoma
(2016-12)
Bioturbation creates a physical change in the primary rock structure and mineralogy. It is evidence of past life in the sediments and can assist in determining the depositional environment. Organisms once lived and fed ...
Novel Biomarker Distributions in the Chesterian Limestone of the Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
(2017-05)
18α(H)-Oleanane is a biomarker that is proposed to be derived from β-amyrin, which is produced by angiosperm plants. As such, the presence of 18α(H)-oleanane is often used as an indicator that the petroleum source is of ...
MISSISSIPPIAN MERAMEC LITHOLOGIES AND PETROPHYSICAL PROPERTY VARIABILITY, STACK TREND, ANADARKO BASIN, OKLAHOMA
(2019-05)
Mississippian Meramec reservoirs of the STACK (Sooner Trend in the Anadarko [Basin] in Canadian and Kingfisher counties) play are comprised of silty limestones, calcareous siltstones, argillaceous-calcareous siltstones, ...
A Diagenetic Study of the Wolfcamp Shale in the Midland Basin, West Texas
(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 ...
Aftershock decay in space and time of induced seismicity in Oklahoma
(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 ...
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 ...
STRATIGRAPHIC ARCHITECTURE OF THE MISSISSIPPIAN LIMESTONE THROUGH INTEGRATED ELECTROFACIES CLASSIFICATION, HARDTNER FIELD AREA, KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA
(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 ...
3-D GEOMETRY AND KINEMATIC EVOLUTION OF THE KUPE INVERSION STRUCTURE, SOUTHERN TARANAKI BASIN, NEW ZEALAND
(2017-12)
The Southern Taranaki Basin underwent extension during the Late Cretaceous to Eocene, followed by a compression during the Oligocene to the Late Miocene, resulting in inversion of some of the pre-existing normal faults. ...
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 ...
