EVALUATING DESERT SILT PRODUCTION USING FIELD, EXPERIMENTAL, AND REMOTE-SENSING METHODS
(2018-05)
Production of the silt that forms loess deposits has been attributed to processes operating in both glacial environments (via glacial grinding) and warm deserts (via saltation-induced fracturing). However, the efficacy of ...
AN ICEHOUSE DUST RECORD FROM THE UPPER PALEOZOIC (ASSELIAN-ARTINSKIAN, MOSCOVIAN) AKIYOSHI LIMESTONE (JAPAN)
(2016)
The Akiyoshi terrane in southwest Japan consists of a subduction-generated accretionary complex of shallow-marine limestone and deep-water spicular chert, underlain by ocean island-type basalt, all of which was obducted ...
An Integrated LiDAR-XRF Study and Geomechanical Lithofacies Analysis of the Leonardian Upper Bone Spring Formation, Bone Canyon, Texas
(2019-05)
The purpose of this study is to constrain geomechanical parameters effecting hydraulic stimulation networks within the upper Bone Spring formation, through the collection and examination of outcrop data. Data utilized in ...
Catastrophic Process Event Stratigraphy of the Rader Member in the Delaware Basin
(2018-12-14)
The Bell Canyon Formation, Middle Rader Member, debrite crops out in Guadalupe Mountains (along Highway 62, McKittrick Canyon and vicinity) revealing a Late Guadalupian catastrophic submarine debris slide. The formation ...
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. ...
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 ...
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. ...
REGIONAL STRATIGRAPHY AND DIAGENETIC CHARACTERIZATION OF THE MISSISSIPPIAN MERAMEC, OSAGE, AND SYCAMORE FORMATIONS, ANADARKO BASIN, CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
(2019-05)
The principal goals of this study were to characterize the regional stratigraphy, analyze the extent of diagenetic alteration, and determine the factors controlling reservoir quality of the Meramec, Osage, and Sycamore ...
Using 3D Seismic Attributes to Investigate Mud Losses in a Fluvial-Deltaic Sand: An Example From the Oliver Sandstone
(2017)
Drilling operations in an actively developed basin in Wyoming can experience
large quantities of mud losses in a shallow zone along the intermediate (vertical) section
of the wellbore. These losses can negatively impact ...
AN INTEGRATED ANALYSIS OF SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY, PETROLEUM GEOCHEMISTRY, AND DEVONIAN MASS EXTINCTION EVENTS IN THE WOODFORD SHALE, SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
(2017-12-16)
Geochemical analyses of the Late Devonian-Early Mississippian Woodford Shale have revealed a more dynamic history than previously considered, reflecting discrete changes in the conditions surrounding its depositional ...
