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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Quaternary seismic stratigraphic investigations, Yakutat Bay region, Gulf of Alaska : subglacial drainage mechanics and glacial expanse
(2008)
Quaternary tectonic and climate interactions have and continue to contribute to a substantial stratigraphic record that preserves the key regional events that result from the interplay of these dynamic processes. Near ...
Tectonic geomorphology of the eastern Trinidad shelf : implications for influence of structure on reservoir distribution and nature in older basin fill
(2008)
Few deltaic systems in tectonically active areas of the world exhibit more data for detailed study than the Orinoco Delta extending along the hydrocarbon-rich, narrow, eastern shelf of the island of Trinidad. The entire ...
Cenozoic stratigraphic and tectonic history of the Grenada and Tobago basins as determined from marine seismic data, wells, and onland geology
(2005)
This thesis presents an integrated stratigraphic and tectonic evolution of the Grenada and Tobago basins using multi-channel seismic data collected in May, 2004, (BOLIVAR cruise), along with GULFREX seismic data collected ...
