Studying “fitness for service” of the sealing assemblies and cement system
(2018-05)
Well integrity is a crucial phase of well design and construction, as such multiple barriers are usually installed in wells to prevent any migration of formation fluids. One of these barriers include the elastomeric sealing ...
Days of Darkness: The Wichitas in Indian Territory and Kansas, 1859-1867
(2019-12-13)
Most of what is known about the history of the Wichita peoples is scattered throughout the works of historians Earl H. Elam and F. Todd Smith, as well as anthropologist W. W. Newcomb, Jr., leaving this historiography of ...
A Flexible Schema-Aware Mapping of XML Data into Relational Models
(2016-08)
In the last several years, substantial contributions have been made in the development of techniques to transform and store eXtensible Markup Language (XML) data into relational database models. Although there exists rich ...
Effects of an Eight Week Maximal Jumping Intervention on Bone Characteristics in College-Aged Females
(2019-08-01)
Peak bone mass occurs between the second and third decade, around a person’s late twenties and is followed by a plateau in bone mineral density (BMD). Osteoporosis can be a result from a failure to achieve peak bone mass ...
Assessing the impact of non-conventional observation types on high-resolution 3DVAR analyses and ARW-WRF forecasts
(2016-12)
This work looks at the impact on high-resolution analyses and forecasts of several non-conventional data types available within the Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) Urban Testbed. A major focus is an evaluation of the added value ...
INTEGRATED MODELING AND SIMULATION OF MULTI-STAGE HYDRAULIC FRACTURED WELLS IN THE WOODFORD SHALE
(2019-08-01)
The Late Devonian-Early Mississippian Woodford shale is known as the main source rock in the state of Oklahoma, and one of the most attractive unconventional plays in the U.S. Early Woodford’s exploration and development ...
A Diagenetic and Paleomagnetic Study of the Woodford Shale, Oklahoma, U.S.A.
(2017)
Two Woodford Shale cores from the Anadarko Basin (Core A, Core C) and one oriented Woodford Shale core from the Ardmore Basin near the Ouachita thrust zone (Core B) were sampled in order to identify diagenetic events, ...
MACHINE LEARNING AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SEISMIC ATTRIBUTE-SEISMIC FACIES ANALYSIS DATA BASE
(2018-08-02)
Currently, seismic facies and structural analysis requires a significant amount of time and effort by skilled interpreters. With the advances made by companies such as Amazon and Google with AI (artificial intelligence) ...
Red Dirt Resilience: Enduring Narratives of Oklahoma Environmental Activism
(2016-05-13)
This thesis explores the relationship between dominant narratives of Oklahoma identity and counter-narratives of Oklahoma identity. I consider how the dominant narrative of Oklahoma identity is constructed in relationship ...
An Apparatus to study matter-wave quantum optics in sodium spinor Bose-Einstein condensates
(2017)
Spin-exchange collisions in quantum degenerate gases act as a nonlinear interaction that creates entanglement between atoms in different spin states. Therefore, they make it possible to study matter-wave quantum nonlinear ...
