Normally pressured reservoirs have pore pressures which are the same as a continuous
column of static water from the surface. Abnormal pressures occur where the pore pressures …

Despite being one of the most important oil producing provinces in the United States,
information on basinal hydrogeology and fluid flow in the Permian Basin of Texas and New …

The Dongying depression in the Bohai Bay Basin is a young, prolific oil-producing basin in
China. The gray to black mudstones, calcareous mudstones, and oil shales of the Eocene …

The Delaware basin of west Texas and southeast New Mexico has experienced elevated
earthquake rates linked spatiotemporally to unconventional petroleum operations. Limited …

We demonstrate that pore pressure and stress changes resulting from several decades of oil
and gas production significantly affect the likelihood of injection-related induced seismicity …

We present a new porosity-depth relationship for clean, rigid grain (quartz, feldspar) sands
under hydrostatic burial. This allows the prediction of porosity in uncemented sandstones to …

Two areas of shale diapirism in a deltaic setting were examined using 3D seismic data from
offshore Brunei to determine the origin, evolution and geometry of shale diapirs. The study …

Identifying the causal factors behind elevated seismicity rates in areas with multiple ongoing
oil and gas activities has always been a challenging issue that is lacking a homogeneous …

Students, exploration geologists, and others are provided with a general idea of how the title
modeling and models work, what they can do, and what their limitations are. It also gives the …

Development of preferred orientations of illite-smectite (IS) has been studied using X-ray
diffraction (XRD) texture goniometry to produce pole figures for clay minerals of a suite of 16 …
