DOI: 10.1016/j.chemgeo.2019.06.021
Abstract: Abstract Marine carbonate δ13C and δ18O values are commonly utilized as indicators of past climate and are thought to record primary seawater conditions. However, these minerals can be altered following deposition and burial, overprinting the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00206814.2020.1756930
Abstract: ABSTRACT Collision of Gondwana and Laurentia in the late Palaeozoic created new topography, drainages, and foreland basin systems that controlled sediment dispersal patterns on southern Laurentia. We utilize sedimentological and detrital zircon data from early… read more here.

DOI: 10.1306/04101918140
Abstract: Rock fabrics have long been recognized as a key variable influencing unconventional reservoir properties, and yet, petrofabric analysis is rarely incorporated in reservoir characterization in a quantitative and scalable manner. This work introduces anisotropy of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1306/12031917358
Abstract: Detailed facies characterization in the Wolfcamp B and lower Spraberry intervals of two drill cores in the Midland Basin has yielded five main lithofacies with distinctive physical, chemical, and biologic attributes. The main attributes for… read more here.
