Improving fault images using a directional Laplacian of a Gaussian operator
(2016-05)
Fault picking is a critical, but human-intensive component of seismic interpretation. In a bid to improve fault imaging in seismic data, I have applied a directional Laplacian of a Gaussian (dLoG) operator to sharpen fault ...
Rock properties derived from analysis of earth tide strain observed in continuous pressure monitoring of the Arbuckle Group of Oklahoma
(2017)
The Arbuckle Group is an important geologic unit in the state of Oklahoma because of its suitability as a saltwater disposal (SWD) zone. In 2014, the Arbuckle Group received about 68% of the total volumes of saltwater ...
Seismic Stratigraphy of a Circular Concave-Downward Structure, Chukchi Sea
(2017-12-15)
A circular concave-downward structure (CCDS) and its structural features and seismic facies can be observed in several 2D seismic lines imaging the Chukchi Sea planning area. The area in question is largely underexplored ...
ASSESSING MUDROCK CHARACTERISTICS, HIGH-RESOLUTION CHEMOSTRATIGRAPHY, AND SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE WOODFORD SHALE IN THE MCALISTER CEMETERY QUARRY, ARDMORE BASIN, OKLAHOMA
(2017-12-16)
The Late Devonian – Early Mississippian Woodford Shale is a significant unconventional play in the Midcontinent region. An approximately 365ft thick exposure of the Woodford Shale is present in the McAlister Cemetery Quarry. ...
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. ...
Trilobites From a Cambrian Extinction Interval at the Base of the Steptoean, Riley Formation, Central Texas
(2018)
The Riley Formation of central Texas provides the only record of Steptoean trilobites in the southern mid-continent region. The objective of this thesis is to document the faunal assemblages associated with the globally ...
The Enigmatic Quaternary Shell Bed Deposits of Lake Tanganyika, Tanzania: Linking Anthropogenic Land-Use with Nearshore Sedimentation
(2017-05)
Extensive deposits of carbonate shell-rich sediments in the nearshore environment (< 30 m water depth) of Lake Tanganyika, Africa, form a unique and important habitat for a diversity of endemic crabs, fish, sponges, and ...
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 ...
Diffraction imaging using Geometric-mean Reverse-Time Migration and Common Reflection Surface
(2017-12)
Diffracted waves contain a great deal of valuable information about small-scale subsurface structure such as faults, pinch-outs, karsts and fractures, which are tightly related to hydrocarbon accumulation and production. ...
