Investigation of petrophysical properties and fluid migration in unconventional oil/gas reservoirs
(2019-05-07)
Petrophysics deals with the physical and chemical properties of petroleum-bearing rocks and their interactions with associated fluids. The investigation of petrophysical properties of interest, such as porosity, specific ...
NANO-PETROPHYSICS OF AVALON SHALE OF THE DELAWARE BASIN OF WEST TEXAS & SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO
(2019-01-17)
The Avalon Shale is a Permian-aged stratum and represents a significant rock unit within the Bone Spring, of the Delaware basin of West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico. The Delaware Basin has witnessed increased drilling ...
History-matching and Forecasting of Three Unconventional Oil and Gas Reservoirs Using Decline Analyses and Type Curves
(2019-05-10)
Reservoir modeling of shale gas and tight oil presents numerous challenges due to complicated transport mechanisms and the existence of fracture networks. Even then, oil and gas companies have not slowed down on shale ...
TWO CRETACEOUS TALES OF THE LAND AND THE SEA
(2019-05-07)
The Cretaceous Period (145-66 Ma), with no magnetic reversal for ~79 Ma, is generally termed as the Cretaceous Normal Superchron or the Magnetic Quiet Zone. There is evidence of at least two major large scale, global ...
Characterizing the nature of the sub-continental lithospheric mantle beneath Prindle volcano, Yukon-Tanana Upland, Alaska
(2019-05-08)
Prindle Volcano, an isolated alkali-basaltic cone in eastern Alaska is the northernmost volcanic center within the northern Cordilleran volcanic province (NCVP), a volcanic region along the northwestern region of North ...
Nano-petrophysical study of the Dean, Wolfcamp, and Canyon formations of the Midland Basin, Texas, USA.
(2019-12-05)
The prolific levels of oil and gas production from the shale revolution have been plagued by steep initial production decline and inefficiencies in recovering the total hydrocarbons in place. Even the widespread practice ...
Nano-petrophysics of the Marcellus Formation in Pennsylvania, USA
(2019-05-07)
Characterizing unconventional shale reservoirs consisting of nano-size pores and pore networks are complicated due to their complex geometric structure and restrictive fluid transport abilities. Technological advancements ...
NANO-PETROPHYSICS OF THE DEAN, SPRABERRY, AND WOLFCAMP FORMATIONS OF THE MIDLAND BASIN
(2019-05-15)
Technological advances in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling have led to a surge in oil and gas production in unconventional shale reservoirs over the past several decades. The Permian Basin of Northwest Texas ...
Climate Change of the South Polar Region in response to topographic and cryospheric forcings during the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum
(2019-05-03)
The Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) occurred approximately 56 Ma and is marked by an estimated global temperature increase of 5 °C, a large negative carbon and oxygen excursion, and deep-sea carbonate dissolution. ...
Observations on the magnetic iron oxide content of particulate matter in the Sahel
(2019-05-06)
Atmospheric dust influences many processes throughout the biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, most notably the climate, marine productivity, and human health. Recognizing the physicochemical characteristics of dust ...
