Sedimentology, facies architecture, and diagenesis of the Middle Three Forks Formation - North Dakota, U.S.A.
The upper Devonian age middle Three Forks Formation in the North Dakota portion of the Williston Basin consists of a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic succession deposited in the mid- to inner-ramp portions of a low-angle epeiric ramp. Based on lithological and sedimentological characteristics, ten …

Stratigraphy, depositional environments, and petroleum potential of the Three Forks Formation -- Williston Basin, North Dakota
The hydrocarbon potential of the Three Forks Formation in North Dakota is poorly known due to limited stratigraphic, geochemical, and petrophysical data. This study presents a methodology and results of a reservoir characterization study of the stratigraphy, lithofacies distribution, petroleum …

Stratigraphy and depositional environments of the Three Forks Formation (Upper Devonian), Williston Basin, North Dakota
<p> The Three Forks Formation (Upper Devonian) is present in the subsurface in the western two-thirds of North Dakota and is generally conformable with the underlying Birdbear Formation and the overlying Bakken Formation. </p><p> The Three Forks attains a maximum thickness of 265 feet (81 meters) …

Deposition, stratigraphy, provenance, and reservoir characterization of carbonate mudstones: the Three Forks Formation, Williston Basin
… and reservoir quality of the Famennian Three Forks carbonate mudstones. Depositional environments and lithofacies include the following. Schizohaline, storm dominated intrashelf deposits defined by disturbed claystone, dolomudstone, sandstone, laminated mudstone, and distorted to …

Origin of brecciated intervals and petrophysical analyses: the Three Forks Formation, Williston Basin, North Dakota, U.S.A.
The Three Forks Formation of the Williston Basin in North Dakota is currently of interest to the petroleum industry and can be subdivided into three units: upper, middle, and lower. The Three Forks is Devonian in age and lies stratigraphically below the Bakken Formation. The upper 50ft of the Three …

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 …

X-Ray Fluorescence Analysis Of The Bakken And Three Forks Formations Of The Williston Basin, North Dakota And Well Logging Applications
… core sections representing The Lower Bakken and Three Forks Formation of the Williston Basin in North Dakota using x-ray fluorescence. The Charlotte 1-22H core sequence from Continental Resources was also included to assess the elemental composition of the stratigraphic interval spanning the …

Seismic Characterization of Faults from 3-D Seismic Data: Fault Detection, and Characterization of the Bakken Formation
… faults from 3D seismic data in the Bakken Formation. I use principal component analysis (PCA) for automatic fault detection. The PCA fault attribute indicates significantly different, and geologically more plausible, 3D fault distributions than do conventional seismic attributes, such as …

Conodonts of the Bakken Formation (Devonian and Mississippian), Williston Basin, North Dakota
<p>The Bakken Formation is a thin (maximum 145 ft., 44 m), predominantly elastic unit in the subsurface of the Williston Basin in the United States and Canada. The formation consists of two, mostly non-calcareous, grayish-black to brownish-black shales separated by light to dark gray, calcareous …

Study of induced seismicity for reservoir characterization
… comprised of the development and applications of three new methods, each of which focuses on a different aspect of fractures/faults and the resulting seismicity. In general, the thesis work discusses reservoir characterization from two aspects: 1) understanding fractures and faults in reservoirs …
