Petrophysical facies mapping of the Pennsylvanian Cline Shale, Midland Basin, West Texas.
… shale resource play located in the Midland Basin, west Texas. This study evaluates the depositional, stratigraphic and petrologic controls on Cline Shale reservoir quality and their spatial distribution as determined from core-calibrated petrophysical facies across the study area. …

DEPOSITIONAL SYSTEMS INTERPRETATION OF EARLY PERMIAN MIXED SILICICLASTICS AND CARBONATES, MIDLAND BASIN, TEXAS
In this study, a core from the Midland basin of West Texas was examined in detail to determine the depositional setting of an Upper Wolfcampian and Lower Leonardian-aged mudstone succession. The studied sediments were deposited close to the center of the Midland Basin in a deep water, mixed …

Chemostratigraphy of Carbonate Gravity Flows of the Wolfcamp Formation in Crockett County, Midland Basin, Texas
… of the stratigraphy that is filling adjacent basins. The application of elemental analyses can support in identifying mineralogy that impact reservoir quality, especially when conventional testing cannot be applied.</p> <p>This study utilizes five cores containing the Wolfcamp Formation from …

Petrophysical lithofacies modeling of the upper Pennsylvanian Cline Shale in the Midland Basin, West Texas.
… unconventional exploration target within the Midland Basin of west Texas. This study compares core-observed depositional facies to petrophysical well logs within the Gunn36 #1 well (API# 4222737197) of Howard County, Texas in order to identify predictors of organic richness and carbonate …

Diagenetic controls on porosity, thermal history, and hydrocarbons in the Wolfcamp A, eastern Midland Basin, Texas
… study of a Wolfcamp A core from the eastern Midland Basin, west Texas, is used to understand the diagenetic history of the region and the controls on carbonate macroporosity. Transmitted-light microscopy, UV-epifluorescence, cathodoluminescence, and SEM-EDS microscopy, as well as δ18O, δ13C, …

The relationship of Permian San Andres facies to the distribution of porosity and permeability in the ODC field, Gaines County, Texas.
… County, Texas on the northwestern shelf of the Midland basin. Consisting of 53 wells, the ODC field produces from 800 net acres involved in a water-flood injection program initiated in 1969. The primary reservoirs are dolomitic carbonates in the Permian San Andres Formation. Since the flooding …

Characterization of Lower Permian Carbonate Subaqueous Gravity Flows in Crockett County, Texas
… a link to relatively well-studied platform and basin depositional environments. In the southern Midland Basin, the key to understanding the relationship between these environments lies in the allochthonous gravity flow sediments found on the slope. Here, a succession of various gravity flow …

Shear Wave Splitting Analyses in West Texas
… data from local earthquakes in the Permian Basin in West Texas to understand crustal stress and induced seismicity. The selected events of ML2.0 are recorded by the TexNet and USArray/Transportable Array (TA) stations. SWS parameters, the fast polarization direction and the delay time, are …

Geological and Geochemical Investigation of the Petroleum Systems of the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico
… Permian, and distributed widely over the Permian Basin, were studied geochemically and chemometrically to identify the petroleum systems within the greater Permian Basin. Variations in the stable carbon isotope and biomarker compositions of the oils, together with chemometric correlations of oils …
