A RECORD OF MID-LATITUDE DUSTINESS IN A CARBONIFEROUS-PERMIAN CARBONATE RAMP ON CENTRAL SPITSBERGEN
(2018)
This study focuses on a mid-latitude dust record from the Wordiekammen Formation, a carbonate ramp on Spitsbergen. The ramp developed on the Northern Pangean margin in Moscovian (Carboniferous) through Sakmarian (Permian) ...
A Gravity and Magnetic Study of the Structure Evolution of Sichuan Basin
(2016)
The Sichuan Basin and its adjacent area have attracted increasing research attention during the past decade. Although damaging earthquakes occurred in 2008, the natural gas potential in this region is also remarkable. ...
HIGH-RESOLUTION XRF-LIDAR SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE LATE GUADALUPIAN CAPITAN SLOPE AT MCKITTRICK CANYON, TEXAS: PROCESS-RESPONSE OF OSCILLATING DELAWARE BASIN SEA LEVEL
(2018-05-12)
Owing to their intermediate position within the facies tract, carbonate slopes connecting platforms to the basin floor are continuous subaqueous sensitive sedimentologic recorders of changes in sea level and ocean chemistry. ...
Study of stress field in seismogenic processes in Oklahoma
(2017)
The recently increased seismicity in Oklahoma provides a rich catalog that delineates unmapped fault system. In this project, I identify 88 clusters with 20 or more earthquakes using automatic nearest-neighbor approach. ...
SUBSURFACE PRESSURE MODELING OF SALTWATER DISPOSAL FOR THE ARBUCKLE AND TIMBERED HILLS-BASEMENT SYSTEM, ANADARKO SHELF, OKLAHOMA
(2018-12)
Increased saltwater disposal (SWD) into a geologic zone, the Arbuckle Group, has been related to higher than background levels of seismicity in Oklahoma since 2009. Recent studies have shown statistical associations of ...
Reservoir Characterization and Chemostratigraphy of the Goddard Shale in the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province
(2016)
The Goddard Shale of the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province, or SCOOP, has become a formation of interest in recent years. However, there is a paucity of published information in regards to this formation. Therefore, the ...
GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE LOWER PENNSYLVANIAN MORROW SHALE IN THE ANADARKO BASIN OF OKLAHOMA
(2018-05-11)
The Morrow Formation is one of the most widespread units of Early Pennsylvanian time in the Anadarko Basin. While the Morrow Sandstone has been one of the most productive oil and gas reservoirs since the 1950s, the Morrow ...
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 ...
