Analysis of fault damage zones using three-dimensional seismic coherence in the Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma

Fault damage zones may significantly affect subsurface fluid migration and the development of unconventional resources. Most analyses of fault damage zones are based on direct field observations, and we expand these analyses to the subsurface by investigating the damage zone structure of an approximately 32-km (∼105-ft)-long right-lateral strike-slip fault in Oklahoma.

Geochemical investigations of the Woodford–Chattanooga and Fayetteville Shales: Implications for genesis of the Mississippi Valley–type zinc–lead ores in the southern Ozark Region and hydrocarbon exploration

The relationship between base metal deposits, especially Mississippi Valley–type (MVT) Pb–Zn deposits, and hydrocarbons is not well constrained. This is despite the fact that hydrocarbons generally occur in MVT deposits; the ores are emplaced in the same temperature range as hydrocarbon maturation and migration, and the deposits commonly occur in proximity to metal-rich black shales.

The 2019 AAPG / EMD Unconventional Research Group Meeting

Tuesday May 21, 2019 7:15 pm – 9 pm Room 214 A in the San Antonio Convention Center. It is on the Meeting Room level of the convention center. This year we are focusing on how much petroleum comes from come from outside the landing zone / reservoir (and the implications for inventory, spacing, etc.). The first three talks address this issue as well as the problems associated with geochemical techniques that attempt to quantify out-of-zone flow. Alton Brown will follow with a talk that builds on last year’s conversation about pressure generation during petroleum generation and explusion.

University of Tulsa Announces Cuts to Geoscience Programs

On April 11, the University of Tulsa announced an alignment – a “Reimagining,” it was called – of its curriculum and identity. It is a plan that will cut its majors by more than 40 percent, from 196 to 112. These cuts will hit the humanities the hardest – and these get the lion’s share of the media coverage – but the reductions in programs and degrees are not just limited to theater, music, philosophy and foreign languages. The school’s Department of Geosciences will also be hobbled when the plan takes effect.
