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This work presents a detailed rock-based and stratigraphic documentation of an unpublished and recently discovered Woodford Shale outcrop in the south flank of the Arbuckle Mountains (southern Oklahoma).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 ...
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 ...
STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY OF THE WOODFORD SHALE IN THE SOUTHEASTERN ANADARKO BASIN, GRADY COUNTY, OKLAHOMA
(2018-05)
The Anadarko basin, especially the SCOOP (South Central Oklahoma Oil Play) and Merge areas, has become one of the most prospective and successful oil plays in the country. However, there is an increasing need to refine and ...
OUTCROP-SCALE STUDY OF THE PERMIAN BONE SPRING FORMATION, BONE SPRING CANYON, GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS, TEXAS: FRACTURE CHARACTERIZATION
(2017-05-12)
A light detection and ranging- (LiDAR) focused outcrop study was conducted on Upper Leonardian Bone Spring limestone in the Bone Canyon, Delaware Basin of West Texas. LiDAR technology is very useful in modeling fracture ...
A PALEOMAGNETIC AND DIAGENETIC STUDY OF THE KENTLAND IMPACT CRATER
(2019-05-10)
A paleomagnetic and petrographic study of host carbonate rocks and impact breccias at the Kentland impact structure was conducted to better constrain the timing of the impact and to better understand the and diagenetic ...
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 ...
OIL POTENTIAL OF THE ASQUITH MARKER, LEWIS SHALE, GREATER GREEN RIVER BASIN, WYOMING.
(2016-05-13)
Large volumes of gas and some oil have been produced from the Cretaceous Lewis Shale, and it is often considered a regional source of gas in the Greater Green River Basin. However, the Lewis Shale has never been studied ...
Towards the Usage of Quarry Blasts as Active Seismic Source
(2018)
Active seismic sources are often used to obtain subsurface structure via seismic imaging. The geophone’s capability to capture signals at lower frequencies is significantly improved, thus, we are no longer restricted to ...
Parasequence-Scale Stratigraphic Variability of Lithology and Porosity of Mississippian Meramec Reservoirs and the Relationships to Production Characteristics, STACK Trend, Oklahoma
(2018)
Mississippian Meramec reservoirs of the STACK (Sooner Trend in the Anadarko Basin of Canadian and Kingfisher counties) play in central Oklahoma consist of mixed siliciclastic and carbonate deposits. Depositional environments ...
