Lithofacies, biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, and stratal architecture of the Boquillas Formation and Eagle Ford Group : comparison of outcrop and core data from Big Bend National Park to Maverick Basin, Southwest Texas, USA
(2015-05)
The late Cretaceous-aged Eagle Ford and Boquillas Formations were deposited on the Texas paleoshelf during a major transgressive sequence wherein organic-rich mudrocks accumulated across the paleoshelf. This study investigates ...
Characterizing transitional flow deposits in the proximal Brushy Canyon Formation, Texas
(2015-12)
Transitional flow deposits are identified, characterized, and placed in a stratigraphic context in the proximal Brushy Canyon Formation, Guadalupe Mountains, Texas. Transitional flows are sand-laden, mud-rich sediment ...
Sedimentology and reservoir characterization of the Upper Pennsylvanian Cline Shale, Midland Basin, Texas
(2016-08)
The Cline Shale, an organic rich mudrock comprising the Canyon and Cisco Groups in the Midland Basin, has recently become an exploration target and production interval. The Cline is a basin-restricted facies specific to ...
Structural framework and seismic geomorphology of the Cretaceous beneath the Mad Dog Area, deep to ultradeep waters Gulf of Mexico
(2013-05)
Recent drilling of deep stratigraphy in subsalt offshore Gulf of Mexico has revealed the presence of thick, amalgamated, Cretaceous siliciclastic reservoirs with the potential to become valid exploration targets. Similar ...
Wolfcampian shelf-to-basin stratigraphic framework of the Central Basin Platform and Midland Basin, Andrews County, Texas
(2019-09-12)
Despite collection of extensive subsurface data, the icehouse climatic forcing and tectonic modification of the Wolfcampian Hueco carbonates have frustrated attempts to adequately link shelfal and time-equivalent basinal ...
Paleogeographic evolution during the Eocene Upper Wilcox in the Houston embayment with consideration of the Yoakum Canyon fill
(2015-05)
The Eocene Upper Wilcox clastic wedge represents the second major pulse of terrigenous material into the Gulf of Mexico basin. Recent interest in the Wilcox has been reinvigorated by the drilling of the Baha prospect in ...
Regional structure, stratigraphy, and hydrocarbon potential of the Mexican sector of the Gulf of Mexico
(2011-08)
I have compiled digital seismic and well data over a region of approximately 700,000 km² to better improve the correlation of the Mexican sector of the Gulf of Mexico (MGOM) with the better studied and more explored U.S. ...
The effects of lateral tectonics on a fluvio-deltaic system : an application to the Ganges Brahmaputra Delta
(2013-05)
Deltaic systems have long been recognized for their socioeconomic impacts as well as their high potential to trap and store hydrocarbons. The Sediment Transport and Earth-surface Process (STEP) basin at the University of ...
3D seismic geomorphology and stratigraphy of the late Miocene to Pliocene Mississippi River Delta : fluvial systems and dynamics
(2012-05)
This study uses a 1375 km2 3D seismic dataset located in the late Miocene to Pliocene Mississippi River Delta in order to investigate the external characteristics, lithology, and evolution of channelized deposits within ...
Dynamic stratigraphy and sediment partitioning of high-supply fluvial succession in Maastrichtian source-to-sink system
(2013-05)
The sediment budget and paleogeography was reconstructed for the Maastrichtian fluvial to coastal plain Lance Formation (>200m thick) that developed coevally with the shoreline/shelf Fox Hills Sandstone (>200m thick) and ...
