Saneifar, Mehrnoosh (2015-05-13)Characterization of carbonate reservoirs is challenging as the result of heterogeneous distribution of petrophysical properties and mineralogy. Common rock classification techniques are strongly dependent on core measurements, ...
-
Deluca, Michael James (2016-06-02)The Cenomanian-Turonian Eagle Ford Group was deposited within the Southern Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway (KWIS) and records the onset and duration of the Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE2). Lozier Canyon in Val Verde ...
-
Hayes, John Michael (2021-06-03)The Late Cretaceous Austin Group contains a petroleum play fairway that spans across east and south Texas. This unit is composed of shallow to deep-water carbonate and marl, which were deposited along the southeast margin ...
-
Johnson II, Harold Everett (2019-07-15)The highly-deformed rocks of western Arkansas to eastern Oklahoma, record the Late Paleozoic tectonic history of the southern boundary of the North American Craton. The Mississippian rocks (i.e., Stanley Group) were deposited ...
-
Gardiner, Nathan Thomas (2019-04-10)Managing fire-induced water-repellent soils in the aftermath of a severe fire can be troublesome and challenging. The water-repellent layer decreases the soil permeability and prevents moisture from entering the soil ...
-
McCreary, Molly Elizabeth (2022-08-11)The Austin Group, comprised of chalk and marly chalk, is a classic fractured chalk play, that has seen a renaissance as an unconventional reservoir exploited by the combination of fracking and horizontal drilling across ...
-
Conte, Roy Augustine (2020-11-16)Organic-rich mudstone depositional environments commonly were thought to require low-energy and persistent benthic anoxia for accumulation and preservation of large amounts of organic matter. However, more recent studies ...
-
Kittleman, Thomas; Pope, Michael; Adams, William (Turbomachinery Laboratories, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas A&M University, 1994)The Chemical Manufacturers Association and the Society of Tribologists and Lubrication Engineers conducted a study of the leak rates from pumps equipped with mechanical seals. The resulting analysis indicates that attention ...
-
Enriquez Tenorio, Omar (2016-07-14)The aim of this study was to develop an understanding of the Eagle Ford shale unpropped and propped fracture conductivity. Samples were collected at Antonio Creek and Lozier Canyon. Both outcrops are several hundred feet ...
-
Sengupta, Soumyadipta (2016-02-12)Carbonate reservoirs are a major source of oil and gas produced across the world. Carbonate reservoirs are distinct from sandstone reservoirs in terms of deposition and characteristics. Sandstones are formed by deposition ...
-
Lira, Mario Alberto (2015-08-09)The Middle-Late Ordovician Eureka Quatzite in western Utah and eastern Nevada is a unique supermature quartz arenite composed of very fine-medium grain, well-rounded, well-sorted sands that were deposited along the Early ...
-
Davis, Drew Edward (2017-05-08)The Eagle Ford group was a prolific producer of unconventional oil and gas in south Texas during the last decade. Operators typically target the Lower Eagle Ford formation to drill horizontal wells with lateral lengths ...
-
He, Zhenhua (2018-11-27)The activation of natural fractures and associated microseismicity generation and radiation during hydraulic fracturing treatments are dynamic processes. However, most of the current hydraulic fracturing models are based ...
-
The Effect of Particle Sorting on 230Th Sediment Inventories in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean Ibrahim, Rami (2015-11-16)The 230Th Method of determining mass accumulation rates (MARs) assumes little to no fractionation during lateral syndepositional processes occurring at the seafloor. We examine 230Th inventories in paired jumbo piston core ...
-
Frick, Taylor Ross (2018-09-20)Various open-hole completion and stimulation designs used in horizontal wells in carbonate reservoirs cause hydrochloric acid (HCl) to be jetted onto the wellbore surface at high velocity. To properly design a limited entry ...
-
Jin, Xiao (2013-11-21)Previous matrix acidizing experimental research showed that there exists an optimum acid interstitial velocity (Vi-opt) that results in the minimum volume of acid used while providing the best stimulation results. There ...
-
Pasumarti, Lakshmi (2014-05-19)Carbonates for flow simulation purposes are typically characterized as grid-blocks of varying permeability, with a finer grid employed where heterogeneity is greatest. However, this manner of representation is more suited ...
-
Sulaica, Jonathan Lucas (2015-12-12)The interaction between the Caribbean and South American plates produced irregular sea-floor topography on Bonaire (part of the Leeward Antilles Islands), which enables the deposition of calcium carbonate sediments. To ...
-
Moustafa, Mohamed Salem Hamadi (2015-05-13)This study presents the depositional facies, sequence stratigraphy, chemostratigraphy and diagenetic evolution of the Middle-Late Triassic Al Aziziyah Formation, Jifarah Basin northwest Libya. Eight measured sections were ...
-
Dusak, Nicholas Matthew (2022-05-20)The Latest Artinskian to Early Kungurian Upper Wolfcamp (Skinner Ranch) Formation is exposed in the Lenox Hills of the Glass Mountains in Brewster County, Texas. These outcrops provide geoscientists and engineers a window ...
