Field characterization and analog modeling of natural fractures in the Woodford Shale, southeast Oklahoma
(2011)
Understanding the mechanisms under which shales deform is fundamental to improving exploration success in unconventional resource plays. Several outcrops of the Woodford Shale have been chosen to characterize fracture ...
Paleomagnetic and petrological investigation of Long Mountain Granite, Wichita Mountains, Oklahoma
(2011)
The Long Mountain Granite, a member of the Cambrian- aged Wichita Granite Group, is exposed in the western Wichita Mountains. The rock is red at the surface which grades into a dark gray to green core that has been exposed ...
Integrated geomechanics and geological characterization of the Devonian-Mississippian Woodford Shale
(2011)
In this thesis, preserved Woodford Shale samples of different mineralogy compositions were obtained from a shallow research well in Oklahoma and prepared for various laboratory mechanical characterizations including the ...
Concept questions with peer-led vs. teacher-led discussions in a high school physics course
(2011)
Introductory physics classes attempt to guide students while they develop the mental structures and schema necessary to consistently apply the Newtonian concept of force to various situations. Science education research ...
Microseismic mapping of fluid induced hydraulic fractures and analysis of location uncertainties
(2011)
Microseismic monitoring of hydraulic fractures is done to yield spatial and temporal plots of hypocenters. There are rendered without any estimates of uncertainty leading the engineer to believe the hypocenter locations ...
Sequence stratigraphic framework of the Caney Shale, Arkoma Basin southeastern Oklahoma
(2011)
Many petroleum companies have turned their attention to the exploration and development of shale as unconventional resource plays. The focus of this study was the Caney Shale, which occurs in the Oklahoma part of the Arkoma ...
Electron probe micro-analysis of the Woodford Shale, south central Oklahoma
(2011)
Three samples from the Wyche-1, Late Devonian Woodford Shale, OU-DevonSchlumberger
research core were analyzed with a Cameca SX-50 electron probe microanalyzer with the aim of characterizing the mineralogy of very fine ...
The effects of temperature on compressive strength of rapid setting concrete
(2011)
Rapid setting concrete using Calcium Sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement has been around since the 1960's to meet the need for construction projects with limited time frames. These projects range from quick foundation work to rapid ...
