Download or read book STRATIGRAPHY OF THE MARBLE FALLS INTERVAL PENNSYLVANIAN JACK AND WISE COUNTIES TEXAS written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five informal stratigraphic units can be recognized on well logs through the Marble Falls interval in the northern Fort Worth basin. Four of the units--an upper limestone, upper shale, lower limestone, and lower shale--are present in the eastern half of Wise County. These units interfinger to the west in Jack County with a heterolithic unit comprised of siltstones, mudstones and claystones. Facies recognized in core through the heterolithic unit and log curve shapes in the limestones and shales reveal shallowing-upward sequences formed as the basin filled. The basin fill contains authochthonous carbonate sediment produced in shallow epeiric seas and siliciciclastic (and perhaps carbonate) debris eroded off rising positive structures such as the Bend arch, Red River arch, Muenster arch, and the Ouachita thrust belt during the Ouachita orogeny. Revised correlations based on additional well control suggest the Comyn Limestone and the Forestburg limestone are the same lithostratigraphic unit.

Download or read book The Pennsylvanian Lower Strawn Group Jack and Wise Counties Fort Worth Basin written by Andrew Kearny Roberts and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lower Strawn Group in Jack and Wise counties of the Fort Worth Basin are laterally and vertically heterogeneous deltaic deposits comprising sandstones, siltstones, and shales with thin, discontinuous carbonates and coal seams reflecting variable icehouse condition controls. Given a general lack of differentiation of individual sequences in the Lower Strawn in Jack and Wise counties, this study develops a stratigraphic framework, highlights relationships between component facies of the Lower Strawn, establishes individual sequences, and identifies depositional controls and their effects on reservoir predictability. With an estimated 38 million barrels of oil (MMBO) & 56 billion cubic feet of gas (BCF) of mean total undiscovered resources located in Pennsylvanian/Permian fluvio-deltaic sandstones and conglomerates, analogous to depositional environments in many foreland basins globally, this study provides a key dataset with respect to component depositional facies and reservoir architecture for more informed resource assessment. Based on core description and interpretation, depositional environments of the Lower Strawn Group include prodelta, medial delta front, interdistributary-bay, channel mouth bar, and distributary-channel deposits. These interpreted depositional environments, their well-log pattern, and vertical facies relationships enable an interpretation that fluvio-deltaic depositional systems dominated in the Lower Strawn Group. Wireline log correlations of regionally-extensive maximum flooding surfaces were used to develop a sequence stratigraphic framework that identified eleven regressive-transgressive, fluvio-deltaic sequences averaging 90-240ft thick, collectively spanning a thickness of 1,000-2,700 ft. (305-823 m.) as the interval onlapped the forebulge of the Fort Worth Foreland Basin. A south-southwest overall direction of progradation was identified based on the distribution of net sandstone thickness trends. The depocenters contained within these sequences reflect similar geometries to those described from fluvio-deltaic systems of the Mississippi River and Yukon River Deltas. With elevated porosity trends found to be associated with homogeneous channel-mouth bar and distributary-channel deposits, a better understanding of internal reservoir characteristics and distribution helps improve predictability for operators pursuing complex stratigraphy containing hydrocarbon resources in similar depositional settings

Download or read book Geology of Millard County Utah written by Lehi F. Hintze and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2003 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bulletin serves not only to introduce the non-geologist to the rich geology of Millard County, but also to provide professional geologists with technical information on the stratigraphy, paleontology, and structural geology of the county. Millard County is unique among Utah’s counties in that it contains an exceptionally complete billion-year geologic record. This happened because until about 200 million years ago the area of present-day Millard County lay near sea level and was awash in shallow marine waters on a continental shelf upon which a stack of fossil-bearing strata more than 6 miles (10 km) thick slowly accumulated. This bulletin summarizes what is known about these strata, as well as younger rocks and surficial deposits in the county, and provides references to scientific papers that describe them in greater detail. Mountains North 30 x 60 (1:100,000-scale) quadrangles. These companion maps and this bulletin portray the geology of Millard County more completely and accurately than any previously published work.

Download or read book Missouri Landscapes written by Jon L. Hawker and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this magnificent book, Oliver Schuchard provides more than sixty-five exquisite black-and-white photographs spanning his thirty-eight years of photography. In addition, he explains the aesthetic rationale and techniques he used in order to produce these photographs, emphasizing the profound differences between, yet necessary interdependence of, craft and content. Although Schuchard believes that craft is important, he maintains that the idea behind the photograph and the emotional content of the image are equally vital and are, in fact, functions of one another. The author also shares components of his life experience that he believes helped shape his development as an artist and a teacher. He chose the splendid photographs included in this book from among nearly 5,000 negatives that had been exposed all over the world, from Missouri to Maine, California, Alaska, Colorado, France, Newfoundland, and Hawaii, among many other locations. Approximately 250 negatives survived the initial review, and each of those was printed before a final decision was made on which photographs were to be featured in the book. The final choices are representative of Schuchard's work and serve to substantiate his belief that craft, concept, and self must be fully understood and carefully melded for a good photograph to occur. This amazing work by award-winning photographer Oliver Schuchard will be treasured by professional and amateur photographers alike, as well as by anyone who simply enjoys superb photography."--Publishers website.

Download or read book Hypogene Karst Regions and Caves of the World written by Alexander Klimchouk and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 903 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book illustrates the diversity of hypogene speleogenetic processes and void-conduit patterns depending on variations of the geological environments by presenting regional and cave-specific case studies. The cases include both well-known and newly recognized hypogene karst regions and caves of the world. They all focus on geological, hydrogeological, geodynamical and evolutionary contexts of hypogene speleogenesis. The last decade has witnessed the boost in recognition of the possibility, global occurrence, and practical importance of hypogene karstification (speleogenesis), i.e. the development of solutional porosity and permeability by upwelling flow, independent of recharge from the overlying or immediately adjacent surface. Hypogene karst has been identified and documented in many regions where it was previously overlooked or misinterpreted. The book enriches the basis for generalization and categorization of hypogene karst and thus improves our ability to adequately model hypogene karstification and predict related porosity and permeability. It is a book which benefits every researcher, student, and practitioner dealing with karst.
