Comparing PP and PS seismic characterization of fractures in the Mississippian Meramec and Osage intervals of the STACK play, Oklahoma
(2022-05)
Fractures often provide a mode of secondary porosity and significantly improve rock permeability and reservoir quality. This study characterized fractures within the Mississippian Meramec and Osage intervals of the STACK ...
Rift brittle structure, Precambrian ductile structure, and crustal thickness variation within and around the Cenozoic Malawi Rift
(2020-12)
This study examines the relationship between the regional brittle structure associated with the Cenozoic southern Malawi Rift and the surrounding ductile structure of the Precambrian crystalline basement, as well as the ...
Depositional environment and reservoir characteristics of the Medrano Sandstone, Southern Oklahoma Hoxbar Oil Trend (SOHOT)
(2020-12)
Commercially discovered in 1936, the Medrano Sandstone, is a prolific oil and gas producer in the Cement field and surrounding areas. Deposited during Middle-Pennsylvanian time, it is a member of the Hoxbar group. The ...
Carbonate caprock sealing capabilities: CCUS applications in the Michigan Basin
(2020-12)
Identifying the viability of rock formations to successfully limit the upward migration of carbon dioxide (CO2) is vital for carbon storage permanence. As an attempt to address increasing atmospheric concentrations of CO2, ...
Depositional setting and controls on porosity development in the Marmaton Granite Wash, southwestern Anadarko Basin, western Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle
(2023-05)
The Middle Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) Marmaton Granite Wash is a tight gas sandstone reservoir in western Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle that can economically produce natural gas, condensate, and natural gas liquids ...
Faults in northeastern Oklahoma: Their occurrence and relationship to hydrocarbon production and modern seismic activity
(2019-12)
This study examines known fault systems in northeastern Oklahoma, analyzing their relationship to producing reservoirs and their link to the recent increase in seismic activity. By collecting fault information from previous ...
Determination of Moho depth beneath the Okavango and Kafue rift using Spectral Analysis with Piecewise Regression (SAPR) of satellite gravity data
(2023-05)
The research investigated the use of satellite gravity data to map the lithospheric structure under the Okavango Rift Zone (ORZ) in northwest Botswana and the Kafue Rift Zone (KRZ) in Zambia. The tectonic extent and ...
Use of benthic foraminifera as environmental indicators in Budd Inlet, Puget Sound
(2022-07)
The pollution of coastal and estuarine environments is of growing concern as it potentially threatens ecosystems, economies, and the public health of people living in these areas. Budd Inlet’s circulation is relatively ...
Fluid Histories of Middle Ordovician Fault-Fracture Dolomite Oil Fields of the Southern Michigan Basin
(2019-07)
Fault-fracture oil fields in the Trenton and Black River formations (TBR) constitute important petroleum reservoirs in the southern Michigan Basin and are the type example for “hydrothermal” petroleum reservoirs world-wide. ...
Re-evaluation of the SCO2 and SC seismic reflection datasets, eastern South Carolina: Implications for tectonic evolution and seismicity
(2020-05)
Identification and characterization of the Paleozoic Suwanee basin sedimentary sequence and the associated Pangea supercontinent transcurrent fault are critical in furthering our present understanding of tectonic history ...
