Paleoenvironment, Depositional History, and Process Sedimentology of the Upper Guadalupian Yates Formation: Northwest Shelf, New Mexico
(2020-12)
A vertical and lateral outcrop of the late Guadalupian upper Yates Formation is observed along Dark Canyon Road in Eddy County, New Mexico. This outcrop has revealed cyclical, highly dynamic mixed carbonate and siliciclastic ...
RESERVOIR CHARACTERIZATION AND MODELING OF THE DESMOINESIAN SERIES GRANITE WASH, BUFFALO WALLOW FIELD, ANADARKO BASIN, TEXAS
(2017)
The Desmoinesian Series Granite Wash at Buffalo Wallow Field represents deepwater
deposits including slumps, channels, and submarine fan lobes that consist of six major
lithofacies as mudstone, interbedded mudstone 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 ...
High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy of the NPRA, North Slope, Alaska
(2019)
The deposition of sediment in the Ikpikpuk-Umiat Basin of the NPRA has been governed by four distinct tectonic phases: 1) Franklinian crustal shortening, 2) Ellesmerian continental sag, 3) Beaufortian continental rifting, ...
A Comparison Of Coherence Enhancement, Probabilistic Neural Network, And Convolutional Neural Network Fault Imaging With Manual Interpretation In The Taranaki Basin Area, New Zealand.
(2021-05-17)
Fault identification is a key aspect in seismic interpretation, and model generation is an essential task to achieve any accurate, precise reservoir modeling or structural framework that solves problems in the subsurface. ...
Transmission electron microscopy of metallic nanoparticles extracted from soils dated to the Younger Dryas; persistence and generation during chemical digestion
(2023-12-15)
Impact events are associated with nanodiamonds. Often found within meteorites, or produced from the interaction with earth’s environment, they can be found across sedimentary layers that record impact events. Acid digestion ...
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 ...
Impact of Viscous Acid-in-Oil Emulsion Formation on Well Productivity Following Acid Stimulation
(2016-12-16)
Acid stimulation techniques matrix acidizing and acid fracturing are commonly applied in carbonate reservoirs. The goal of such techniques is to increase well productivity by enhancing permeability in the near wellbore ...
DETAILED LITHOSTRATIGRAPHIC CHARACTERIZATION AND SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY OF A COMPLETE WOODFORD SHALE OUTCROP SECTION IN SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
(2017-08)
This work presents a detailed rock-based and stratigraphic documentation of an unpublished and recently discovered Woodford Shale outcrop in the south flank of the Arbuckle Mountains (southern Oklahoma). The exposed section ...
High Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy of the Leonardian Bone Spring Formation Outcrop of Bone Canyon, Guadalupe Mountains, West Texas and its Correlation to the Subsurface
(2020-05)
The purpose of this Thesis is to analyze the Upper Leonardian Bone Spring Formation, Cutoff Formation, and Early Guadalupian Brushy Canyon Formation in the outcrop of Bone Canyon located along the Western Escarpment of the ...
