MULTISCALE SPATIOTEMPORAL ANALYSES OF SEISMICITY AND WASTEWATER INJECTION IN OKLAHOMA
(2017-05)
The increase in seismicity in Oklahoma since 2009 has been primarily attributed to wastewater disposal, however, the extent and nature of the relationship is not clear. On the state level, there is no statistically significant ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
