Mechanical Stratigraphy of the Mississippian in Osage County, Oklahoma
… to discern with traditional log correlation, but mechanical stratigraphy has the potential to improve previous correlations of the Mississippian. </p> <p>This study uses full wave sonic logs from Osage County, OK to analyze the elastic properties of the Mississippian. Our work computes isotropic …

Mechanical stratigraphy of the Vaca Muerta Formation, Neuquén Basin, Argentina
The Vaca Muerta offers an excellent opportunity to study field development at an early stage. The particularities of how best to characterize this play are developing, and various techniques and processes must be tested. Even in parts of the basin where wells are being drilled in rapid succession, …

Mechanical stratigraphy and sonic log relationships using the Proceq Bambino in the Niobrara Formation, Denver Basin
… the resolution, accuracy, and confidence in geomechanical estimations. The Bambino gives readings in Leeb Hardness (HLD). HLD measurements are defined as the ratio of rebound velocity to impact velocity. Preliminary data was taken from the Niobrara Formation in a Denver Basin core to demonstrate …

Facies architecture and mechanical stratigraphy of Mississippian grainy and muddy carbonate sediment gravity-flow deposits: Rancheria Formation, Sacramento Mountains, New Mexico
… fracture distribution, and the resultant mechanical stratigraphy. Outcrops of the Rancheria Formation in the Sacramento Mountains, New Mexico represent a Mississippian carbonate slope system that is spectacularly exposed for sedimentologic and fracture characterization. Using these …

Analysis of calcite-filled faults in carbonate strata, balcones trend near Waco, Texas.
… Quarry near Waco, Texas, were analyzed. The mechanical stratigraphy of the quarry ranges from relatively strong chalk to marly chalk to chalky marl to relatively weak marl. Higher clay content yields weaker rock. The dip angle of the normal faults varies with rock strength, with steeper dips …

Structure of the Patagonian fold-thrust belt in the Magallanes region of Chile, 53° - 55° S Lat.
… partly controlled by the antecedent geology and mechanical stratigraphy of the Rocas Verdes basin. During the Late Cretaceous, a thin-skinned thrust belt developed above a décollement that formed first in relatively weak shale deposits of the Rocas Verdes basin and later deepened to <1 km below …

The initiation and evolution of ignimbrite faults, Gran Canaria, Spain
… properties such as fault zone permeability and mechanical strength. The study of faults at the Earth’s surface and at near-surface levels is significant for the development of high level nuclear waste repositories, and CO2 sequestration facilities. Additionally, with growing concern over water …

Centrifuge Modelling Study of Contrasting Structural Styles in the Salt Range and the Potwar Plateau, Pakistan
… the Salt Range and Potwar Plateau (SR/PP) stratigraphy has been grouped into four mechanical units. From bottom to top these are the Salt Range Formation, carapace unit (Cambrian-Eocene platform sequences), Rawalpindi Group, and Siwalik Group. These stratigraphic units of alternating …
