Subsurface Structure, Stratigraphy, and Hydrocarbon Basin Modeling of the Barbados Accretionary Prism
… to vertical; and 3) the zone of piggyback basins and westward backthrusting along the western edge of the prism; and 4) the Tobago-Barbados ridge (TBR) characterized by Miocene to Recent backthrusting that has uplifted the island of Barbados. Using this structural framework, I present a …

Jurassic-Recent Structure, Stratigraphy, and Basin Modeling of the Rifted-Passive Margin of Southern Morocco
The Tarfaya-Dakhla Basin (TDB) is located in the southern part of the Moroccan Atlantic rifted-passive margin. Oblique rifting with its conjugate margin in eastern Canada started at the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic by splitting of the northeast, structural grain inherited from the late Paleozoic, …

HYDROCARBON ACCUMULATION OF SHAHEJIE FORMATION, BOHAI BAY BASIN, CHINA
Only a few basin modeling studies have been completed at a depression-scale for the southern Western Depression, Liaohe Basin, Bohai Bay Basin Group. Such studies are essential for advancing our understanding of the hydrocarbon accumulation history and to predicting potential reservoirs. This study …

Organic petrology, maturation, thermal and burial history analysis, and hydrocarbon generation and migration modeling of the Saudi Arabian paleozoic petroleum systems
… Arabia and extra light oil in Central Arabia. A basin modeling approach was used to quantify important aspects of the petroleum system. First, 17 regional wells were selected to establish a reference tool for the three dimensional (3-D) basin model using multiple one dimensional (1-D) models. …

Hydrocarbon occurrences within the La Popa Basin: Potential source rocks, thermal maturation, and hydrocarbon migration along the La Popa salt weld, La Popa Basin, Ne Mexico
… migrated material based on biomarker analysis. Basin modeling suggests that all basin lithologies are within the early to late gas generation window.

Geodynamic evolution and petroleum system of Abu Gharadig Basin, North Western Desert, Egypt
Abu Gharadig basin is a generally complex geological structure composed of pull-apart grabens. It was actively subsiding since the Paleozoic with a downwarp initiated since Carboniferous time and continued throughout the Jurassic and Cretaceous. The strongest downwarp was during the Maastrichtian …

Offshore El Salvador: the first interpretation of a unique 2-D seismic dataset and implications for a working petroleum system in a forearc basin setting
The unexplored Acajutla Basin is located within a forearc setting along the Pacific coast of El Salvador. It is a part of a larger system of forearc basins that lie between the coast of Central America and the Middle America Trench, running parallel to the Pacific coastline from central Mexico to …

Reduce the charge risking applying migration tracers
… Current charge risking primarily relies on basin models built on geophysical, geological, geochemical source rock parameters. Geochemical post well analyses are typically done only for oil–oil or oil–source correlations and in many cases not integrated to geophysical and geology evaluations. …

Assessment of the petroleum generation potential of the Neal Shale in the Black Warrior Basin, Alabama
… of the Floyd Shale located in the Black Warrior Basin of Alabama and Mississippi, has attracted recent attention as a potential economic source of hydrocarbons. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopic analysis of 54 Neal shale samples indicate the formation is clay-rich …

Structure, Stratigraphy and Hydrocarbon Potential of the Colombian Caribbean Margin and Tsunamigenic Hazards in the Western Caribbean and the South China Sea
… slopes of the present-day Magdalena Fan. The modeling indicates an analogous slope failure would result in a significant tsunami, impacting population centers throughout the western Caribbean. In Chapter 3, I apply the same methods as Chapter 2 to document the history of slope failures in the …

Gravity Modeling, Seismic Stratigraphy, and Thermal Maturity Modeling of Hydrocarbons of the Permian Foreland Basin, USA, and the Sergipe-Alagoas Rifted-Passive Margin, Brazil
The Permian Basin in West Texas is by far the most prolific oil-producing onshore basin in the U.S., and the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin is the sixth-largest hydrocarbon-producing basin in Brazil. The purpose of this dissertation is to better understand the changing tectonic setting, crustal structure, …

Operational Water Prediction in Highly Regulated, Transboundary Watersheds using Multi-Basin Modelling, Earth Observations and Co-production
… space while improving the potentials of multi-basin watershed modelling, earth observations and co-production to inform decisions on operational water prediction. Three studies were performed. Results demonstrate that non-regulated surface water resources can be reasonably estimated through …

Numerical Modeling as a Means to Enhance Genetic Sedimentary Basin Interpretation : A Case Study of the Southern Cantabrian Basin (NW Spain)
… the development of the Southern Cantabrian Basin (NW Spain). A sedimentological and sequence stratigraphic model was established for the syn-orogenic Carboniferous basin fill, and subsequently analyzed and calibrated by a combined approach of reverse basin and stratigraphic forward …

Seismic stratigraphy and tectonic evolution of a transform continental margin, offshore Sierra Leone
The offshore Sierra Leone basin is an exploration frontier area with commercial hydrocarbon potential. The basin is located at the northernmost end of the equatorial Atlantic margin in the South Atlantic; it is bound to the South by the Gulf of Guinea Petroleum province. The Sierra Leone margin has …
