-
(1976)Part I. Through a literature search on the mechanics of thrust faulting, I have found that reduction of the effective downward stress component of the overburden pressure due to abnormal fluid pressures in the subsurface ...
-
(1977)The effect of random mixing of marked and unmarked fish on the accuracy of a Petersen population size estmate was investigated. By comparing the ratio of marked and unmarked fish in a sample catch at different points in ...
-
(1979)Permeability is a function of the primary rock properties of composition, texture, and sedimentary structures. For quartzose sandstones, the textural elements are the most important in determining both porosity and ...
-
(1986)Synthetic seismograms are seismic traces calculated from well log data. They provide a link between actual seismic records and borehole logs. Complete sonic and density logs are needed for the generation of synthetics. ...
-
(1985)The development of secondary porosity in many carbonate rocks appears to be associated closely with thermal maturation of hydrocarbons and plays an important role in their migration and accumulation. Unfortunately, ...
-
(1986)Various models for the strain consequences of thrust sheets moving over lateral ramps have been analyzed. Direct relationships have been established between different kinds of strain and quantities such as the lateral ramp ...
-
(1986)The Permian San Andres Formation in three cored wells in the Twin Lakes and Cato fields, New Mexico is composed of five vertically stacked tidal flat sequences. An individual tidal fiat sequence consists of evaporite ...
-
(1978)Because of their apparent metalliferous concentrations, six metamorphosed sedimentary rocks were collected from the island of Newfoundland. The samples were studied in order to determine the origins of the metals contained ...
-
(1978)The study of sandstone deformation on grain-to-grain and grain scales is not unknown in the geological sciences. Using a ratio of solid space to void space (S/V) measured on the grain-to-grain scale in the Triassic Wingate ...
