Facies-Based and Anhydrite-Controlled Petrophysical Properties of the upper Clear Fork Formation in the Permian Basin in West Texas, USA
(2020-05-13)
The Leonardian-aged dolomite of the upper Clear Fork Formation in the Palm Sunday field of West Texas exhibits a wide range of facies that vary during deposition due to environmental factors such as water depth, wave energy, ...
GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS OF POTENTIAL FLOODING FROM STORM SURGE AND SEA-LEVEL CHANGE ON THE TEXAS COAST BY 2100
(2020-05-14)
Tropical cyclones pose a major hazard to the State of Texas. Anthropogenic climate change and global warming have the potential to increase extreme weather events and lead to enhanced flood hazard zones. This study aims ...
Variability and Temporal Trends of Semivolatile Organic Compounds in Biological and Environmental Media
(2020-08-28)
Exposure to semivolatile organic compounds (SVOCs) in indoor environments and its potential impact on human health have been receiving increased public attention, because people in developed countries spend over 80% of ...
NANO-PETROPHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE OIL WINDOW OF EAGLE FORD SHALE FROM SOUTHWESTERN TO CENTRAL TEXAS, U.S.A.
(2020-08-05)
Eagle Ford Shale and the overlying Austin Chalk are the main producing plays throughout Central Texas. Due to the high clastic nature of Eagle Ford Shale and its ability to produce and maintain fractures from hydraulic ...
RECOMPILATION OF LITHOLOGICAL PROXIES ACROSS THE PERMIAN-TRIASSIC BOUNDARY
(2020-12-09)
The largest mass extinction occurred near the Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB; 251.902 ± 0.024 Ma; Shen et al., 2011), with the demise of more than 90% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial species. This study expands ...
Stable isotope composition of surface water across central Mexico
(2020-12-09)
Understanding the controlling factors of modern surface water stable isotope compositions is important for reconstructions of paleoclimate and paleoelevation. Few studies have attempted to understand patterns of surface ...
MULTI-SCALE AND MULTI-APPROCH INVESTIGATIONS OF PETROPHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND FLUID FLOW IN NATURAL ROCKS
(2022-05-09)
Natural rock is one of the most important geological attributes on the Earth that have been widely related to human daily life in various aspects. Rocks are usually utilized with respect to their petrophysical properties ...
Investigating the frictional properties of organic matter and pore structure of organic-rich shales with atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy
(2022-12-19)
Understanding geomechanical properties of shales, such as stiffness properties and fracture toughness, is important in different areas of petroleum industry-related activities including fracturing efficiency, petroleum ...
