Sand distribution along shelf-edge deltaic systems : a case study from eastern offshore Trinidad
(2010-12)
The study area is situated along the obliquely converging boundary of the Caribbean and South American plates offshore eastern offshore Trinidad. Major structural elements in the shelf break and deep-water slope regions ...
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 ...
An investigation of anisotropy using AVAZ and rock physics modeling in the Woodford Shale, Anadarko Basin, OK
(2012-05)
The Woodford Shale formation is currently an important unconventional gas resource that extends across parts of the mid-continent of the United States. A resource shale acts as source, seal, and reservoir, and its ...
Three-dimensional gas migration and gas hydrate systems of south Hydrate Ridge, offshore Oregon
(2011-05)
Hydrate Ridge is a peanut shape bathymetric high located about 80 km west of Newport, Oregon on the Pacific continental margin, within the Cascadia subduction zone’s accretionary wedge. The ridge's two topographic highs ...
The comparative osteology and phylogenetic relationships of lepidosirenid lungfishes
(2011-05)
Lepidosirenidae is a clade of freshwater lungfishes that comprise the South American Lepidosiren paradoxa and four African species of the genus Protopterus. These two genera have been geographically separated since the ...
Use of high resolution 3D seismic data to evaluate Quaternary valley evolution history during transgression, offshore San Luis Pass, Gulf of Mexico
(2015-05)
A novel, shallow-investigation, high-resolution 3D (HR3D) seismic acquisition system has been employed, for the first time in the Gulf of Mexico, to characterize CO₂ storage potential and de-risk targets for sequestration. ...
Characterization of bedding-parallel fractures in shale : morphology, size distribution and spatial organization
(2016-12)
Natural fracture systems are important for production in shale gas reservoirs as they may contribute to permeability of the reservoir, or they may reactivate during hydraulic fracture treatment. However, little is known ...
Structural framework and its influence on the Quaternary-age sequence architecture of the northern shelf of Trinidad and Tobago
(2010-08)
The North Coast Marine Area (NCMA) extends across ~7000 km2 of the northern
Trinidad and Tobago shelf in water depths between 50 to 200 meters. In 2009 the
NCMA had two exploration blocks under active oil and gas exploration ...
Multicomponent-seismic characterization of the Utica Shale
(2015-05)
Recent development of gas shales in North America yield worldwide interest in gas production from shale formations. The methodology used in this thesis was to demonstrate multicomponent seismic technology for the ...
Automatic channel detection using deep learning
(2019-06-20)
Picking 3D channel geobodies in seismic volumes is an important objective in seismic interpretation for hydrocarbon exploration. Manual detection of channel geobodies is a time-consuming and subjective process. The interpreter ...
