Round robin comparison of composition based mineralogical studies of unconventional reservoirs
(2017-05)
Understanding the mineralogical composition of reservoir rocks is a vital component of hydrocarbon recovery, especially in unconventional reservoirs, which are the main targets of hydrocarbon exploration today. Obtaining ...
Characterization of geothermal anomalies in the Louisiana continental shelf, Gulf of Mexico, using corrected bottom-hole temperatures
(2016-08-10)
Some localized, high geothermal-gradient anomalies are observed in the continental shelf off southwestern Louisiana. While typical geothermal gradients in the Louisiana shelf range from .013 °C/m to .035 °C/m, those in the ...
Fusulinid occurrence density maps to assess paleogeographic models of the Northwest Shelf of the Delaware Basin region
(2018-12)
The Permian Basin region of southeast New Mexico and west Texas has been important source of hydrocarbons for more than 80 years. On the Northwest shelf and northern Delaware basin, sediment is described as being deposited ...
Investigation of the crust and upper mantle beneath Greenland and the North Atlantic Ocean using PP teleseismic precursor data
(2017-05)
This project uses teleseismic PP waves whose bounce points (or mid-points) are in the latitude range 50°N to 85°N and longitude range 60°W to 30°E for seismically imaging the crust and the upper mantle in remote areas of ...
Conodont biostratigraphy of the middle pennsylvanian Sandia Formation and lower gray mesa formation in north-central New Mexico
(2017-05)
Middle Pennsylvanian strata in central New Mexico are assigned to the clastic-dominated Sandia Formation, and the overlying carbonate-dominated Gray Mesa Formation. In northern and central New Mexico the Sandia Formation ...
Age and tectonic significance of Niobium-Yttrium-Fluorine (NYF)-pegmatites in the Tysfjord region, Nordland, Norway
(2017-08)
Niobium-yttrium-fluorine (NYF) pegmatites comprise a subset of the rare-element pegmatite class. Because of their composition and geochemistry, these pegmatites are commonly associated with A-type magmatism in extensional ...
Investigation of the upper mantle beneath the Hawaiian Island chain using PP-precursors
(2013-08)
The Hawaiian hotspot is of great geological significance, but data collection in the area can be challenging due to the water depth around these islands. By using PP bounce point data, with receivers in mainland United ...
Studying the geometry and kinematics of gypsum-filled fractures in the Permian strata of Caprock Canyons State Park, Texas, USA
(2015-08)
Characteristic sets of veins can be found in the Permian rocks within the Southern High Plains. This network of veins are cut by the South Prong of the Little Red River in Caprock Canyons State Park, creating excellent 3-D ...
Sedimentology of the Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary Interval in the Tornillo Group of West Texas
(2016-08-15)
ABSTRACT
A recently discovered outcrop of the Tornillo Group at Rough Run Creek in Big Bend National Park provides the best exposure of the Cretaceous/Paleogene (K/Pg) boundary interval thus far known in the Big Bend ...
Assessing post-Miocene tilting of the Southern High Plains through paleoslope reconstructions of the Ogallala Formation
(2017-08)
The Southern High Plains (SHP) is a physiographic region found in the panhandle of Texas and eastern New Mexico. The SHP is capped by an erosionally resistant caliche soil profile, the Caprock Caliche. Stratigraphy underlying ...
