Quantified facies distribution and sequence geometry of the Yates Formation, Slaughter Canyon, New Mexico
(2011-08)
This study uses a new integrated outcrop data and airborne lidar from Slaughter Canyon, New Mexico, to quantitatively characterize the cycle-scale facies architecture within the G23-G26 high frequency sequences of the Yates ...
Reservoir characterization and sequence stratigraphy of Permian San Andres platform carbonates, Fullerton Field, Permian Basin, West Texas
(2010-05)
The San Andres Formation (Permian, Guadalupian) is the most prolific oil reservoir in the Permian basin. However, despite more than 60 years of production, an estimated 70% of the original oil in place remains. Recovery ...
Depositional systems and sequence stratigraphy of the M1 sandstone in Tarapoa, Ecuador
(2014-12)
Campanian M1 Sandstone is one of the major prospective sandstone units in the Tarapoa field in Oriente Basin, Ecuador. The M1 Sandstone is always markedly sharp based, averages 25 m in thickness, shows upward increasing ...
Sequence stratigraphic analysis of marginal marine sabkha facies : Entrada Sandstone, Four Corners region
(2010-08)
The Middle Jurassic Entrada Sandstone of the Four Corners region, USA, is composed predominantly of very fine-grained, red, silty sandstone with poorly defined sedimentary structures. The origin of this facies is enigmatic, ...
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. ...
Anatomy, dimensions, and significance of the penultimate Yates tepee-shelf crest complex, G25 Hairpin HFS, Guadalupe Mountains, New Mexico and Texas
(2016-05)
The steep-rimmed Permian Capitan platform in the Guadalupe Mountains has been studied in extensive detail to understand the effect of eustacy on platform architecture as seen in continuously exposed 700 m relief shelf-to-basin ...
CO₂ storage in deltaic environments of deposition : integration of 3-dimensional modeling, outcrop analysis, and subsurface application
(2018-05)
Carbon sequestration in geologic reservoirs is a proven method for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Deltaic deposits are attractive candidates for CO₂ storage projects due to their prominent role as hydrocarbon reservoirs. ...
