Integration of geological and petrophysical data in reservoir characterization of Pennsylvanian Upper Morrow "C-sand" in Wilburton Field, Morton County, Kansas
(2005)
The Morrow C-sand reservoir at Wilburton Field is an incised-valley-fill fluvial sandstone of Pennsylvanian age. It is compartmentalized into five flow units, each of which possesses particular geological and petrophysical ...
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 ...
Sequence stratigraphic framework and systems tracts analysis of Lower Miocene shelfal clastic deposits : Redfish Bay area, Texas Gulf Coast
(2005)
The deposits of the Lower Miocene section of the Redfish Bay area along the Texas Gulf Coast were characterized and their systems tracts and depositional environments were interpreted. A three-dimensional seismic volume ...
Pore pressure prediction : from vertical stress to mean stress to the full stress tensor
(2018-05-07)
My thesis focuses on evaluating the relative contribution of both mean stress and deviatoric (shear) stress and understanding how to incorporate their role in order to better predict pore pressure. In Chapter 1, I introduce ...
Nature and source of mineralizing fluids at the Presidio mine, Shafter district, Presidio County, Texas
(2005)
The object of this research is to determine the nature and source of the mineralizing fluids that formed the Presidio Zn-Pb-Ag deposit, and to determine the relationship of the Presidio deposit to the rest of the Shafter ...
Analyzing deep-water near seafloor geology with chirp sonar sub-bottom profiles : Green Canyon, Gulf of Mexico
(2006-12)
The study area is located on the continental slope in the Green Canyon deep-water area of the Gulf of Mexico. This area is being investigated by the Bureau of Economic Geology as part of several active gas hydrate studies ...
Modeling reflux dolomitization
(2005)
The process of reflux dolomitization is commonly invoked to explain dolostone occurrence and distribution. The time required for this process to take place is not well understood. Volumetric flow rates are the dominant ...
Correlating Cu-Fe sulfides and Au mineralization in the Ertsberg-Grasberg District of Papua, Indonesia using volumetric analysis and trace element geochemistry
(2017-08-09)
The Ertsberg-Grasberg District in Papua, Indonesia, hosts two of the world’s largest intrusion-related Cu-Au deposits: the Ertsberg Intrusive System, a hybrid porphyry-skarn deposit, and the Grasberg Igneous Complex, a ...
Evidence for changes in coastline-controlled base level from fluvial stratigraphy at Aeolis Dorsa, Mars
(2014-12)
There is evidence that a subset of fluvial deposits at Aeolis Dorsa, a basin on Mars, preserve incised valleys carved and filled during changes in base level, which was likely controlled by water surface elevation of a ...
Three-dimensional geological modelling of the lithofacies of Caddo Limestone in Stephens County, North-Central Texas
(2019-05)
The Pennsylvanian (early Desmoinesian) Caddo Limestone in Stephens County, Texas hosts important reservoirs and hydrocarbon resources. Therefore, constructing a three-dimensional geological model of the Caddo Limestone is ...
