CO₂ geosequestration in the Lakota Formation, Powder River Basin, WY, USA
… deep saline aquifer Lakota Formation in the Powder River Basin has been suggested as a potential target. This thesis presents a quantitative feasibility study for carbon geosequestration within the Lakota Sandstone Formation. The assessment consists of formation evaluation, seismic data …

Groundwater flow, hydrochemistry, and uranium deposition in the Powder River Basin, Wyoming
… hydrochemistry, and uranium distribution in the Powder River Basin indicates that uranium was deposited during the Tertiary Period in groundwater recharge areas where the groundwater changed from a sulfate-bicarbonate water to a bicarbonate-rich water. </p><p>The regional recharge and discharge …

Multiple data set integration and GIS techniques used to investigate linear structural controls in the southern Powder River Basin, Wyoming
Lineaments in the Powder River Basin were mapped and categorized from Landsat TM imagery, a Digital Elevation Model (30 m), and Digital Line Graph (DLG) hydrology files. A GIS program was written using DLG information to eliminate those lineaments that were within 20° of roads and railroads. …

Greater Sage-Grouse Response to Coal-Bed Natural Gas Development and West Nile Virus in the Powder River Basin, Montana and Wyoming, USA
… (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations in the Powder River Basin of Montana and Wyoming are coal-bed natural gas (CBNG) development and West Nile virus (WNv). I first examined how CBNG development, habitat, and other landscape features influenced trends in the abundance of displaying males and …

Seismic amplitude fidelity study for quantitative analysis and its relation to stack-based signal-to-noise ratio estimation using the SEAM Arid model, with application to field data from the Powder River Basin
… Optimal Sampling (NUOS) field data from the Powder River Basin. I tested three different seismic angle stacks of the same study area. I first estimated a cross-correlation-based SNR over four well locations and two depth levels. I then calculated the amplitude standard deviation of the …

A survey of 24 elements in North Dakota lignite (Fort Union Group, Paleocene) and possible geologic implications
… concentration may indicate relative rate of basin subsidence. The higher the concentration the slower the rate of subsidence. A comparison of lignites from North Dakota (Williston Basin) and coals from the Powder River Basin indicate that North Dakota lignites have a higher inorganic element …

Methane potential of upper Fort Union formation sandstones, Campbell County, Wyoming
… of the Upper Fort Union Formation in the Powder River Basin for many years. The sandstones associated with these coals have also proven to be gas-charged, but industry has done little with the sandstones thus far. The purpose of this study is to determine the paleoenvironrnent responsible …

Evaluating and remediating metals and arsenic in surface waters of the Northern Cheyenne Reservation, Montana
… Northern Cheyenne Reservation sits within the Powder River Basin energy development boundary. The Northern Cheyenne Tribe (Tribe) has had a long history of resisting energy development on the reservation. The Tribe has also opposed off-reservation development that impacts reservation water, …

The stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Sentinel Butte Formation (Paleocene) in south-central Williams County, North Dakota
… the source area for these sediments was not the Powder River Basin. Examination of the thicknesses of various lignite beds in the Nessen Anticline area does not reveal if the anticline served as a diversionary barier during the deposition of these strata. It is possible that the development of …
