Linking image processing and numerical modeling to identify potential geohazards
(2017-08)
Faults, along with natural fractures, may enhance production when confined within the reservoir. However, if the fault is connected to an aquifer, it may cause early water breakthrough in the reservoir. Even if they are ...
Geochemical Characterization of the Upper Mississippian Goddard Formation, Springer Group, in the Anadarko Basin of Oklahoma
(2016)
The Goddard Formation is the basal unit of the Late Mississippian-Early Pennsylvanian Springer Group of Oklahoma. This Formation is part of a stacked oil and condensate play in the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province ...
Structural analysis of a naturally fractured carbonate field in the south-east Gulf of Mexico.
(2018-05)
Fractured carbonates produce more than 85% of hydrocarbon production in Mexico. A large number of the producing fields are located in the South Gulf Salt Province (SGSP) in Campeche Bay within the Upper Jurassic Kimmeridgian ...
Seismic Reprocessing of a Granite Wash Survey, Buffalow Wallow Field, Anadarko Basin, Texas
(2017-12-16)
Although considered one of the more productive oil and gas reservoirs in the United States, the Pennsylvanian-age Granite Wash reservoir remain poorly understood. Amongst a myriad of issues that hinder development of ...
ROCK CHARACTERIZATION AND STRATIGRAPHY OF THE MISSISSIPPIAN STRATA, MERAMEC / SYCAMORE. MERGE PLAY, CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
(2018-12-14)
Historically, Mississippian rocks (Meramec / Sycamore Fms.) have been a productive oil and gas formations in Oklahoma. This study followed upon two major plays that were recently identified, The Sooner Trend Anadarko ...
PLEISTOCENE CORAL REEF DESTRUCTION IN THE FLORIDA KEYS: PALEOTEMPESTITE EVIDENCE FROM A HIGH RESOLUTION LIDAR XRF ANALYSIS OF WINDLEY KEY QUARRY, FL
(2016-05-14)
Not all unconformities are alike, and for carbonates, their discrimination can be difficult. In this regard, one particular discontinuity surface, among many, which is exposed as a laterally persistent surface in the ...
Structural Survey of the Woodford Shale at McAlister Cemetery Quarry, Carter County, Oklahoma
(2017-05)
The focus of this thesis is creating a geologic map of the Woodford Shale in McAlister Cemetery Quarry, and providing data indicating how the bitumen in fractures came to be in this location. Prior studies have focused on ...
Paleoenvironmental interpretation of the Woodford shale with primary focus on water column structure
(2015-05-09)
Twenty-nine Woodford Shale rock samples were acquired from the Wyche-1 core derived from the Wyche Farm Shale Pit, Pontotoc County, Arkoma Basin, Oklahoma. The TOC (total organic carbon) values ranged from 3.47-16.90 wt.%, ...
Seismic Radiation During Slip Along Bi-material Faults: An Experimental Investigation
(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 ...
FORWARD SEISMIC MODEL OF PERMIAN GUADALUPIAN SHELF-TO-BASIN SEDIMENTATION THROUGH NOVEL INTEGRATION OF LIDAR AND SCHMIDT HAMMER, MCKITTRICK CANYON, WEST TEXAS
(2018-05-11)
As a result of the challenges occurring with the subsurface seismic interpretation of images of the complicated depositional systems of the Guadalupian of the Permian Basin, forward seismic model is built to guide the ...
