Sub-Surface Structural Analysis of the Appalachian Basin in Morrow County, Ohio
<p>Located in the western most region of the Appalachian Basin, Morrow County, Ohio, was once one of the largest oil-producing regions in the nation and continually produces today. To date, approximately 30 million barrels of oil and 6.5 billion cubic feet of gas have been produced, primarily from …

High resolution sequence stratigraphy of late Mississippian carbonates in the Appalachian Basin
The late Mississippian carbonates in the Appalachian Basin, U.S.A., were deposited on a huge, south-facing ramp during long-term Mississippian transgression that formed the Mississippian supersequence. The St. Louis- to Glen Dean interval consists of up to twelve fourth-order depositional sequences …

Zircon Geochronology of Ash Beds in the Marcellus Shale of the Appalachian Basin
… Marcellus Shale and Onondaga Limestone of the Appalachian basin. Zircon grains from the ash layers are suitable for SIMS U-Th-Pb geochronology due to their resistant behavior against weathering and ability to record age of the eruptions.;A total of 24 Tioga ash layers within cores of the Middle …

Integrated Experimental Characterization of the Lower Huron Shale in the Central Appalachian Basin
… of the Lower Huron shale in the central Appalachian Basin, matrix permeability, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) were used in this study. According to the experimental results, matrix permeability is relatively high for …

Identification of technical barriers and preferred practices for oil production in the Appalachian Basin
The Appalachian Basin is characterized by great number of stripper wells and marginally producing oilfields that face a number of production problems. The purpose of this study was to identify the main problematic issues and preferred solutions for oil production in the Appalachian Basin. …

Depositional Environments and Sequence Stratigraphy of Upper Mississippian Strata in the Central Appalachian Basin
… constitute a wedge of strata that filled the Appalachian basin over a ~7 million year time interval. Seventeen transgressive-regressive sequences comprise the study interval in the basin depocenter. Five sequence types defined by the degree of incision and the thickness/ character of dominant …

Revision of the Upper Devonian in the Central-Southern Appalachian Basin: Biostratigraphy and Lithostratigraphy
The Upper Devonian of the central-southern Appalachians Valley and Ridge province of Virginia lacks stratigraphic resolution, revised formal nomenclature, and detailed biostratigraphic data. Eight of the most complete sections available in a three thousand square mile area were used to build a …

Parametric and predictive analysis of horizontal well configurations for coalbed methane reservoirs in Appalachian Basin
It has been a well-established fact that the Appalachian Basin represents a high potential region for the Coalbed Methane (CBM) production. The thin coal beds in the Appalachian basin are characterized by low porosity and permeability values. Due to highly complex reservoir characteristics, …

Regional Mapping and Reservoir Analysis of the Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian Basin
… intervals represents carbonate shoals along the basin margin (north and west) and over the peripheral bulge. The gamma-ray map between 100-180 API shows the net thickness of calcareous shale and gray shale. These intervals represent the shallow muddy sea above the thermocline.;• Net …

Evaluation of the Newburg Sandstone of the Appalachian Basin as a CO2 Geologic Storage Resource
… evaluating several deep saline formations in the Appalachian basin of West Virginia, which may be potential carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration targets. The Silurian Newburg Sandstone play, developed in the 1970's, primarily involves natural gas production from reservoir rock with welldeveloped …

Isotopic composition of dissolved inorganic carbon in underground mine discharges of the northern appalachian basin
This research examined the efficacy of using 13C of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) to infer geochemical and microbiological processes in underground coal mine discharges. Groundwater samples from mines in two different coal seams (the Pittsburgh and Upper Freeport) and three different …

Post-Orogenic Thermal History and Exhumation of the Northern Appalachian Basin: Low-Temperature Thermochronologic Constraints
… belts and the thermal history within sedimentary basins for hydrocarbon resource assessment. Collisional tectonics in the Paleozoic which formed of the Appalachian Orogen and the foreland basin has been a subject of considerable study. The objective of this dissertation is to apply low-temperature …

Sedimentology and Regional Implications of Fluvial Quartzose Sandstones of the Lee Formation, Central Appalachian Basin
… subsequent flexure of the crust in the foreland basin caused a step-wise progression of the river system towards the west. Petrographic, sedimentologic and stratigraphic data indicate that source area and climate functioned as the primary controls on the mature composition of sandstones in the …

The Upper Mississippian Bluefield Formation in the Central Appalachian Basin: a Hierarchical Sequence Stratigraphic Record of a Greenhouse to Icehouse Transition
… actively rising tectonic highlands east of the Appalachian Basin. The Bluefield Formation conformably overlies shallow-marine carbonate units of the Greenbrier Group, and is unconformably overlain by incised fluvio-estuarine facies of the Stony Gap sandstone member (Hinton Formation). Outcrops …
