Well Log And Core-derived Reservoir Properties Of Barnett Shale Of Fort Worth Basin
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2014-12)
Wireline tools and log analysis methods were not designed for unconventional reservoirs. As a result, hydrocarbon assessment for shale source rock plays have significant uncertainties. This study focuses on petrophysical ...
Controlling factors of river water stable isotope compositions and middle to late Cenozoic deposition and surface uplift history of the southern Rocky Mountains, U.S.A.
(2019-09-03)
The Cenozoic topographic evolution of the Rocky Mountains (Rockies) and Great Plains in the western U.S.A. reflect a combination of mantle geodynamic, crustal deformation and surface erosional processes. This region was ...
Sensitivity Of The Late Permian Climate To Tectonic And Radiative Forcing Changes: Implications For The Mass Extinction
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2014-12)
The largest mass extinction occurred near the Permian-Triassic boundary (ca. 252 Ma). Significant carbon isotope shifts indicate that perturbations in the carbon cycle occurred during the Late Permian and persisted into ...
Characterization of the Constituent Mineral Components of North African Surface Dust Samples Utilizing Computer Controlled Scanning Electron Microscopy (CCSEM)
(2015-12-23)
Analysis of the constituent mineral components of surface dusts/soils from Chad-Niger region, North Africa, was undertaken by computer controlled scanning electron microscopy (CCSEM) to determine if differences in ...
Geochemical Analysis Of The Woodford Shale, Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma
(Geology, 2014-07-14)
The Woodford Shale is a dark, siliceous mudstone that was deposited in a rift basin during late Devonian to early Mississippian times. Three drill cores containing the Woodford Shale from the Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma, have ...
The Role Of Remnant Native Vegetation And Management Strategies In The Reclamation Of Native Prairie Plant Communities
Native prairie ecosystems are diminishing in Texas along with their ecosystem services. In order to restore the native prairie ecosystems and their services as a whole, the native prairie plant communities on which they ...
Regional Stratigraphy of the Marble Falls Formation and Underlying Late Mississippian to Early Pennsylvanian Deposits, Fort Worth Basin, North-Central Texas, USA
(2015-12-09)
The Early Pennsylvanian Marble Falls Formation in the Fort Worth Basin (FWB)
of North-Central Texas was deposited in a broad carbonate ramp system during the initial
stages of Ouachita orogenesis. It extends across an ...
Using Spontaneous Imbibition And Mercury Intrusion Porosimetry To Investigate The Effect Of Pore Structure On Fluid Migration Within Porous Media
(Environmental & Earth Science, 2014-07-14)
Much research has been conducted to investigate the property of fluid (water/oil/gas) migration in different types of porous media, and the knowledge of pore structure (including pore geometry and pore connectivity) plays ...
Equatorial Pacific Export Production And Carbonate Accumulation Over The Middle Miocene Climate Transition
The Middle Miocene Climate Transition (MMCT) at ~13.8 million years ago (Ma) signifies the point when Earth made its final transition to the icehouse conditions of the Pleistocene. The MMCT is marked by the expansion of ...
Geochemistry Of The Haynesville Formation Using The Carthage Core In Panola County, Texas
(Geology, 2014-07-14)
The Haynesville Formation has been described as a fine grained, organic, homogeneous shale that was deposited during the warm upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian) in the tectonically formed East Texas Basin (Mainali, 2011). The ...
