The petroleum geology of the Midale subinterval in north central North Dakota
… Group. The Midale subinterval, an important petroleum producing unit in North Dakota, is a dolomitized limestone which is approximately 40 feet thick. A detailed study of 17 oil fields in north central North Dakota was conducted to determine the petroleum geology of the Midale subinterval. …

The mio-eugeosynclinal thrust interface and related petroleum implications in the Sason-Baykan Area, Southeast Turkey
… investigation of the stratigraphy, structure and petroleum geology of the Sason-Baykan region in 600 square km area of the thrust belt of southeast Turkey was completed at a scale 1: 25 000. Geosynclinal sediments within the area were redated.</p> <p>Results of field study indicate a massive plate …

Regional Mapping and Reservoir Analysis of the Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale in the Appalachian Basin
The main purpose of this investigation is to define the distribution of organic-rich facies of the Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale in New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The analysis is based on well-log data, primarily gamma-ray (the most common and best calibrated) and bulk-density …

Evaluation of the Newburg Sandstone of the Appalachian Basin as a CO2 Geologic Storage Resource
The West Virginia Division of Energy is currently 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 …

Sequence Stratigraphy, Depositional Environments, and Regional Mapping of the Late Devonian Interval, Upper Three Forks Formation, Sanish Member, and Lower Bakken Shale, U.S. Portion of the Williston Basin
Cores of the Late Devonian upper Three Forks, Sanish, and lower Bakken units from eight wells were examined and described at the North Dakota core depository. Core descriptions, wireline log correlation and mapping, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) data were integrated to recognize seven facies: The …

Sequence Stratigraphy and Petrophysics of the late Ordovician Utica-Point Pleasant Interval in the Middle Appalachian Basin, Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania
Approximately 400 well logs and two drill cores from eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania, and northern West Virginia are used to construct a depositional model of the Utica Shale and associated Upper Ordovician strata. Previous studies of outcrop data from the Cincinnati arch and Jessamine dome …

Use of 3D Seismic Azimuthal Iso-Frequency Volumes for the Detection and Characterization of High Porosity/Permeability Zones in Carbonate Reservoirs
Among the most important properties controlling the production from conventional oil and gas reservoirs is the distribution of porosity and permeability within the producing geologic formation. The geometry of the pore space within these reservoirs, and the permeability associated with this pore …

Zircon Geochronology of Ash Beds in the Marcellus Shale of the Appalachian Basin
Volcanic ash horizons, produced by arc magmatism in the Acadian orogeny, are interbedded with the 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 …

Pore scale study of crude oil distribution and interfacial processes in unconsolidated porous media: an application of synchrotron x-ray microtomography
A pore-scale study was conducted to determine model reservoir systems most amenable to oil recovery by investigating the behavior of three fractions of crude oil distribution and morphology in three types of porous media with increasing heterogeneity (in grain size distribution) during sequential …

Integrated approach to solving reservoir problems and evaluations using Sequence Stratigraphy, Geological Structures and Diagenesis in Orange Basin, South Africa"
… potential is becoming increasingly important in petroleum geology. This approach was employed to unravel the reason for variable reservoir quality of sandstones and evaluation of source rock potential of shale intervals of Orange Basin, SW, South Africa. The data sets acquired for this study …

The Occurrence of the Greta Sandstone, Frio Formation (Late Oligocene), Texas Gulf Coastal Plain
<p>The Greta sandstone is an informal lithostratigraphic unit of the upper Frio Formation (Oligocene) that occurs across the Texas Gulf Coastal Plain. The Greta sandstone has been known to geologists since it was first drilled in the 1930’s, yet there has been very little research into this …

A Log and Core Analysis of the Marmaton Group, Granite Wash Fan Delta in the Anadarko Basin, Washita County, Oklahoma
<p>The Pennsylvanian Marmaton Group Granite Wash located in the southern Anadarko Basin is a fan delta system that consists of stacked arkosic sandstones, conglomerates, and shale, and within Washita County, Oklahoma, are known to be a prolific hydrocarbon producer. The Marmaton Group in Washita …

Stratigraphy and Petroleum Production potential of the Spearfish Formation in North Central North Dakota
… the Triassic-Jurassic time boundary. </p><p>The petroleum production potential of the Spearfish Formation was analyzed using decline curves on the cumulative oil production from 90 wells chosen from North Dakota and Manitoba. A comparison was made on these wells based on field locations and …

Potential Petroleum Reservoir Rocks of North-Central Oregon
<p>Petroleum explorationists have commonly assumed, based on the presence of volcanic and/or volcaniclastic rock, that regions such as northcentral Oregon do not hold potential as petroleum basins. The typical argument has been that volcanic flows have no effective porosity or permeability and …

Influence of Organic Matter Source, Abundance, and Growth Habit on Depositional Textures and Associated Pore Attributes of Hypersaline Lacustrine Microbial Deposits (Holocene, Bahamas)
Discovery of lacustrine microbialite reservoirs in South Atlantic pre-salt has motivated the search for analogs for perspectives on their deposition and initial porosity. Although previous efforts mapped spatial patterns and produced facies models of large microbial lacustrine systems, details of …
