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 ...
STRATIGRAPHIC AND TEXTURAL ANALYSIS OF NANODIAMONDS ACROSS THE YOUNGER DRYAS BOUNDARY SEDIMENTS OF WESTERN OKLAHOMA
(2016)
Exposed sediment profiles of the panhandle of western Oklahoma have
previously been shown to contain two peak abundances of nanodiamonds, one dated
approximately to the Younger Dryas and the other from the Late Holocene. ...
Organic Geochemistry of The Woodford Shale, Cherokee Platform, OK and its Role in a Complex Petroleum System
(2016-05-13)
The Woodford Shale is probably the most prolific source rock in the Anadarko Basin and Cherokee Platform. During the last decade, it became more important due to its high unconventional hydrocarbon potential. Recent studies ...
APPLICATION AND LIMITATIONS OF SEISMIC ATTRIBUTES ON 2D RECONNAISSANCE SURVEYS
(2016-05-14)
Reconnaissance surveys of 2D seismic data are acquired before most 3D seismic
surveys to define the area of interest and regional trends. While seismic attributes are
routinely applied to 3D data, they are less commonly ...
Calibrating seismic fracture prediction using borehole image logs, application to the Mississippian Limestone
(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 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 ...
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 ...
SEISMICITY AND SOURCE SPECTRA ANALYSIS IN SALTON SEA GEOTHERMAL FIELD
(2016)
The surge of “man-made” earthquakes in recent years has led to considerable concerns about the associated hazards. Improved monitoring of small earthquakes would significantly help understand such phenomena and the underlying ...
ATMOSPHERIC DUST FROM THE UPPER CARBONIFEROUS COPACABANA FORMATION (BOLIVIA): A HIGH-RESOLUTION RECORD OF CLIMATE AND VOLCANISM FROM NORTHWESTERN GONDWANA
(2016-08-19)
This study documents the occurrence of atmospheric dust from Pennsylvanian carbonates of the Copacabana Formation, recovered in core (Mobil-Oxy Manuripi X-1) from the Madre de Dios basin (Bolivia), within southern mid-latitudes ...
CONTROLS OF PRE-EXISTING NORMAL FAULTS ON THE GEOMETRY AND LOCATION OF THRUST FAULTS IN FOLD-THRUST BELTS
(2016)
Pre-existing normal faults are commonly cited as influencing both the sequence of faulting and the location of thrust faults in fold-thrust belts. Scaled experimental models for both frictional and ductile detachments were ...
