Godfrey, Conan Ray
The Oligocene-Miocene Catahoula, Oakville, and Goliad formations in south Texas contain abundant continental carbonates which are useful in reconstructing paleoclimate and paleoenvironment in a near sea level region. Field ...

Williams, Billy Allen (2021-05-09)
The microfossil association of the Salesville Formation (Strawn Group, Missourian, Pennsylvanian) of small foraminifers, fusulinids, conodonts, ostracodes, holothurian sclerites, and rare radiolarians, has received very ...

Gan, Ann Kiat (2022-09-01)
The San Juan Basin is no stranger to oil and gas production and the Mancos Shale is one of the formations of the basin that had been producing petroleum since the early 1920’s as conventional, and recently as, unconventional ...

Breen, James Alden; 0000-0001-9134-2636 (2022-08-16)
Climate models have been widely adapted to reconstruct the environmental changes and associated mass extinction events across geologic times, such as the Younger Dryas (~12.9 Kyr), the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maxima (~55 ...

Mowrey, Benton M; 0000-0001-7979-8403 (2019-12-05)
The prolific levels of oil and gas production from the shale revolution have been plagued by steep initial production decline and inefficiencies in recovering the total hydrocarbons in place. Even the widespread practice ...

Tom, Tristan N; 0000-0002-0840-5016 (2021-12-09)
The Permian Basin currently leads the oil production in the United States; however, with increasing concerns for the global climate, it is crucial for oil and gas companies to operate as economically and efficiently as ...

Foote, Jordan (2020-12-09)
Understanding the controlling factors of modern surface water stable isotope compositions is important for reconstructions of paleoclimate and paleoelevation. Few studies have attempted to understand patterns of surface ...

Mzee, Nabil; 0000-0002-4269-7104 (2019-05-15)
Technological advances in hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling have led to a surge in oil and gas production in unconventional shale reservoirs over the past several decades. The Permian Basin of Northwest Texas ...

Standard, Linnea Clarke; 0000-0001-8522-5505 (2021-05-04)
This study focuses on how summer droughts affect the urban heat
island (UHI) in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW). The nocturnal UHI has been
computed by comparing downtown temperature observations to rural
temperature measurements ...

Blair, Terence Cletus (University of Texas at Arlington Libraries, 1981-07)
The Todos Santos Formation at Jerico was deposited as an alluvial fan system by high gradient, short duration ephemeral streams which transported gravel, sand, and mud northeastward through a feeder canyon which opened out ...

Brauer, Heather Nicole; 0000-0003-3161-5027 (2020-12-09)
The largest mass extinction occurred near the Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB; 251.902 ± 0.024 Ma; Shen et al., 2011), with the demise of more than 90% of marine species and 70% of terrestrial species. This study expands ...

Larsen, Chad; 0000-0003-4915-4943 (2020-08-05)
Eagle Ford Shale and the overlying Austin Chalk are the main producing plays throughout Central Texas. Due to the high clastic nature of Eagle Ford Shale and its ability to produce and maintain fractures from hydraulic ...

Prykhodko, Gennadii; 0000-0001-5587-6331 (2020-05-14)
Tropical cyclones pose a major hazard to the State of Texas. Anthropogenic climate change and global warming have the potential to increase extreme weather events and lead to enhanced flood hazard zones. This study aims ...

Line, Cody A; 0000-0001-9999-9114 (2020-05-13)
The Leonardian-aged dolomite of the upper Clear Fork Formation in the Palm Sunday field of West Texas exhibits a wide range of facies that vary during deposition due to environmental factors such as water depth, wave energy, ...

Jones, Ryan Z; 0000-0002-3582-6289 (2019-12-05)
The Permian Basin has been producing oil and gas for over a century, but the production has increased rapidly in recent years due to new completion methods such as hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. The Wolfcamp ...

Becker, Samuel John; 0000-0001-7358-7226 (2019-12-05)
The “Wolfberry” play, which is made up of the Spraberry and Wolfcamp formations, is an important resource for the exploitation of hydrocarbons with a need for additional petrophysical understanding. Although the Wolfcamp ...

O'Silas, Silas (2018-08-08)
In recent years, the Haynesville shale has become a target for natural gas exploitation, especially with the advent of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Located in East Texas and Northwest Louisiana, it is ...

Valencia, Daniel (2017-12-13)
The Upper Cretaceous Eagle Ford Shale of South Texas is a dark grey to black, sporadically laminated, organic rich carbonaceous mud rock located in the subsurface (~13,000), of the hydrocarbon producing shale-oil formation. ...

Wang, Qiming; 0000-0002-1886-0143 (2019-05-14)
As one of the most productive shale gas plays, the Haynesville Shale has a high geopressure
gradient and high temperature, but with a lack of petrophysical understanding. To analyze the pore
geometry and wettability ...
