A quantitative approach to the evolution of the central Walvis Basin offshore NW-Namibia : structure, mass balancing, and hydrocarbon potential
Rifting and breakup of Westgondwana in the Late Jurassic/ Early Cretaceous initiated the formation of the South Atlantic and its conjugated pair of passive continental margins. The Walvis Basin offshore NW-Namibia is an Early Cretaceous to recent depositional centre with a typically wedge-shaped …

Structure, Stratigraphy and Hydrocarbon Potential of the Colombian Caribbean Margin and Tsunamigenic Hazards in the Western Caribbean and the South China Sea
… portion of the region, with an emphasis on hydrocarbon exploration potential. I also characterize the submarine landslide related tsunami hazard of the western Caribbean region and for the South China Sea. In Chapter 2, I identify and map three giant (>1000’s km3), Plio-Pleistocene submarine …

Origin of brecciated intervals and petrophysical analyses: the Three Forks Formation, Williston Basin, North Dakota, U.S.A.
… indicate that the upper Three Forks has a higher hydrocarbon potential. Regional mapping of the petrophysical attributes and isopachs reveal that the hydrocarbon potential of the Three Forks is stratigraphically constrained. Thickness of the source rock, the Lower Bakken Shale, and stratigraphical …

Stratigraphic Analysis and Reservoir Characterization of the Late Oligocene-Early Miocene, Upper Yenimuhacir Group, Thrace Basin, Turkey
… the most important basins in Turkey in terms of hydrocarbon potential. Previous studies, starting in the 1930s, focused on tectonics, basin evolution, sedimentation and stratigraphy, depositional systems, and hydrocarbon potential. Eocene turbiditic sandstones and reefal limestones, and Oligocene …

A seismic stratigraphic analysis and petroleum system characterization of the cretaceous sequence in central Walvis basin, offshore Namibia
… passive margin, has long been recognized for its hydrocarbon potential. With only nine (9) exploration wells drilled to date, the Walvis Basin remains relatively under-explored. The uncertainties concerning the occurrence and preservation of mature source rocks and good reservoir lithofacies in …

Stratigraphic partitioning and reservoir distribution of the Late Devonian to Early Mississippian Exshaw Formation, Western Canada Sedimentary Basin.
… and stratigraphic controls on Exshaw reservoir potential across southern Alberta based upon detailed core descriptions from 18 wells. Four basinal Exshaw depositional facies were identified, and four sequence stratigraphic surfaces were correlated across the study area. Geologic attributes were …

Locality of forces in molecular systems
… system. The algorithm was tested on linear hydrocarbon systems; it confirmed the locality of the tight-binding model DFTB and quantified the extent to which chemical changes, such as bond conjugation and oxygen addition, introduce long-range effects within the more accurate DFT model. The …

Petrographic and petrophysical characterization of the Eagle Ford Shale in La Salle and Gonzales counties, Gulf Coast Region, Texas
… thermal maturity is higher compared to Well #1. Hydrocarbon potential was studied by using both the Basic/Bulk-Rock and Institut Français du Pétrole Energies Nouvelles (IFPEN) Shale Play Rock-Eval pyrolysis methods. The IFPEN Shale Play method allows to a better quantification of the hydrocarbons …

No Triassic structural control of the development of the Middle Ground Arch, Eastern Gulf of Mexico
… is important because these formations have hydrocarbon potential and determining the distribution may help us predict the location of these hydrocarbons. Strictly regulated lease sales and drilling moratoria have minimized exploration, leaving the Triassic and Jurassic kinematic evolution …
