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) ...
3D QUANTITATIVE SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY OF JURASSIC CARBONATE STRATA ON THE ARABIAN PLATFORM
(2018-12)
Quantitative seismic stratigraphy of a 3D seismic volume of the Arabian platform provides critical information on the heterogeneity of reservoir quality of a productive Jurassic carbonate grainstone. The Vail method of ...
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 ...
RESERVOIR QUALITY EVALUATION OF THE MERAMEC AND UPPER OSAGE UNITS IN THE ANADARKO BASIN
(2018-12-14)
The objective of this study is to provide a comparative look at the diagenetic evolution and reservoir quality characteristics of the Meramec and Upper Osage units in the STACK (Sooner Trend Anadarko Basin of Canadian and ...
FLUVIAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE BURRO CANYON FORMATION USING UAV-BASED PHOTOGRAMMETRY AND OUTCROP-BASED MODELING: IMPLICATIONS FOR RESERVOIR PERFORMANCE, RATTLESNAKE CANYON, SOUTHWESTERN PICEANCE BASIN, COLORADO
(2018)
The stratigraphic variability of fluvial architectural elements and their internal lithological and petrophysical heterogeneity influence static connectivity and fluid flow. To explore the impact of fluvial architecture ...
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 ...
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 ...
A RECORD OF MID-LATITUDE DUSTINESS IN A CARBONIFEROUS-PERMIAN CARBONATE RAMP ON CENTRAL SPITSBERGEN
(2018)
This study focuses on a mid-latitude dust record from the Wordiekammen Formation, a carbonate ramp on Spitsbergen. The ramp developed on the Northern Pangean margin in Moscovian (Carboniferous) through Sakmarian (Permian) ...
HIGH-RESOLUTION XRF-LIDAR SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE LATE GUADALUPIAN CAPITAN SLOPE AT MCKITTRICK CANYON, TEXAS: PROCESS-RESPONSE OF OSCILLATING DELAWARE BASIN SEA LEVEL
(2018-05-12)
Owing to their intermediate position within the facies tract, carbonate slopes connecting platforms to the basin floor are continuous subaqueous sensitive sedimentologic recorders of changes in sea level and ocean chemistry. ...
SUBSURFACE PRESSURE MODELING OF SALTWATER DISPOSAL FOR THE ARBUCKLE AND TIMBERED HILLS-BASEMENT SYSTEM, ANADARKO SHELF, OKLAHOMA
(2018-12)
Increased saltwater disposal (SWD) into a geologic zone, the Arbuckle Group, has been related to higher than background levels of seismicity in Oklahoma since 2009. Recent studies have shown statistical associations of ...
