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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Electron probe micro-analysis of the Woodford Shale, south central Oklahoma
(2011)
Three samples from the Wyche-1, Late Devonian Woodford Shale, OU-DevonSchlumberger
research core were analyzed with a Cameca SX-50 electron probe microanalyzer with the aim of characterizing the mineralogy of very fine ...
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 ...
