Paleogene sedimentation patterns and basin evolution during Andean orogenesis, Middle Magdalena Valley basin, Colombia
(2010-08)
The Central Cordillera and Eastern Cordillera of the northern Andes form the western and eastern flanks of the north-trending Middle Magdalena Valley basin. Previous estimates for the timing of initial exhumation of the ...
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 ...
Geologic setting and reservoir characterization of Barnett Formation in southeast Fort Worth Basin, central Texas
(2014-08)
The Mississippian Barnett Formation is a prolific shale-gas reservoir that was deposited in the Fort Worth Basin, Texas. Many previous studies of the Barnett Formation have been conducted in the main production area; few ...
Detrital zircon U-Pb and (U-Th)/He geo-thermochronometry and submarine turbidite fan development in the Mio-Pliocene Gulf of California, Fish Creek-Vallecito Basin, southern California
(2014-08)
The Fish Creek-Vallecito Basin exposes an archive of sediment related to early rifting of the Gulf of California beginning at 8.0 Ma followed by Colorado River delta progradation from 5.3-3.0 Ma. Mio-Pliocene deposits from ...
Sequence stratigraphy, sandstone architecture, and depositional systems of the Lower Miocene succession in the Carancahua Bay Area, Texas Gulf Coast
(2011-08)
This study defines depositional environments and constructs the sequence stratigraphic framework of the lower Miocene Oakville Formation and the basal part of the middle Miocene Lagarto Formation in the Carancahua Bay area. ...
Response of minibasin subsidence to variable deposition : experiments and theory
(2012-05)
Differential loading induced deformation of a mobile substrate (e.g., salt tectonics) is an important process for the development of accommodation space and stratigraphic architectures in intra-slope minibasins. Numerous ...
Facies characterization and stratigraphic architecture of organic-rich mudrocks, Upper Cretaceous Eagle Ford Formation, South Texas
(2011-08)
The Eagle Ford is a well-known source rock for both sandstone (Woodbine) and carbonate (Austin and Buda) hydrocarbon reservoirs in East and South Texas. Recent discoveries have demonstrated that source rocks, such as the ...
Lithofacies, depositional environment, and stratigraphic architecture of the deep-water hybrid mudrock system of the Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) Cherokee Group, Anadarko Basin, Texas Panhandle
(2016-05)
The Cherokee Group in the western Anadarko Basin, northeastern Texas Panhandle, is a Desmoinesian hybrid system of mudrocks interbedded with sandstones and carbonates in a deep- water foreland basin that had poor circulation ...
