Book Synopsis Stratigraphic Evolution of Foreland Basins by : Steven L. Dorobek
Download or read book Stratigraphic Evolution of Foreland Basins written by Steven L. Dorobek and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A strong case can be made that foreland basins are where the casual links between sedimentation and tectonic events were first recognized, as evidenced by the interpretations of geologists working in classic foreland areas. This Special Publication was derived from a Research Symposium entitled "Stratigraphic Sequences in Foreland Basins" held at the AAPG-SEPM joint annual meeting on June, 1992, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This volume provides a well-balanced perspective of current research on foreland basin stratigraphy and also serves as another element in the evolving framework that comprises our understanding of foreland basins. Given that so many of earth's resources are found in foreland basins and that foreland basin strata often provide the only preserved record of the tectonic events that led to basin development, the impetus for continued studies of foreland basin strata should remain for many generations of geologists to come.
Book Synopsis Anatomy of a Paleozoic Basin by : Stephen C. Ruppel
Download or read book Anatomy of a Paleozoic Basin written by Stephen C. Ruppel and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anatomy of a Paleozoic Basin: The Permian Basin, USA By any standard, the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico is a "super basin." With cumulative oil production of nearly 40 billion barrels (Bbbl) and annual production of nearly 2 Bbbl, it's currently one of the most important hydrocarbon-producing basins in the world. More than 29 Bbbl of this production have come from conventional (carbonate and sandstone) reservoirs, about 75 percent from carbonate reservoirs. Approximately 9-10 Bbbl of the basin's cumulative oil production have come from unconventional targets-primarily organic-matter-rich mudrocks and associated facies-during the last 10 years. The Permian Basin contains perhaps a greater volume of these mudrocks than that of any other basin, a major reason for its current global prominence among hydrocarbon-producing basins. The Permian Basin also contains one of the most extensive data sets in terms of wells drilled, cored wells, and adjacent outcrop analogs, providing a basis for studies that not only helps define the distribution of hydrocarbons but also serves as an excellent laboratory for examining basin-forming processes.This two-volume Bureau of Economic Geology Report of Investigations and AAPG Memoir contains 26 papers covering a breadth of Permian Basin topics, including 4 papers on the basin's structural geology, tectonics, and Precambrian geology; 4 papers on its paleontology and biostratigraphy; 16 on its sedimentology and stratigraphy; 1 on its reservoir systems; and 1 that provides a history and synthesis of the major depositional and deformational events that formed the basin. The goal of this set of papers is to capture, in a single publication, the wealth of information and knowledge about Permian Basin geology that has been generated over the 60 years that have passed since John Galley's early comprehensive paper on the basin in 1958.

Book Synopsis Sedimentary Cover—North American Craton: U.S. by : L.L. Sloss
Download or read book Sedimentary Cover—North American Craton: U.S. written by L.L. Sloss and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'sedimentary cover' refers to the stratified rocks of youngest Proterozoic and Phanerozoic age that rest upon the largely crystalline basement rocks of the continental interior. This volume presents data and interpretations of the geophysics of the craton and summarizes the craton's tectonic evolution. It also presents the stratigraphy, structural history, and economic geology of specific sedimentary basins (e.g. Appalachian basin) and regions (e.g. Rocky Mountains). It concludes with a discussion of the currently popular theories of cratonal tectonics, & unresolved questions are identified.

Download or read book Coated Grains written by T. M. Peryt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coated grains have always attracted attention, at first of naturalists, and later of geologists, and the interest in these peculiar bodies was re lated both to their intriguing form and their significance in facies inter pretation and sedimentology and to their relevance to accumulations of hydrocarbons and other mineral deposits. This resulted in numerous publications on this subject, and the intention of this volume is to sum marize the present state of knowledge on coated grains. The idea of the book was to unite some general papers with papers reporting case studies of both recent and ancient coated grains. The organization of the book follows this intention. The papers presented in this volume have been invited by the editor; the theme of the book merits a few words of personal history. The development of studies of coated grains during the last two decades has not only resulted in a great increase in knowledge of recent and ancient environments of coated grain formation, but also numerous important and controversial questions of classification, environmental significance, mineralogical composition etc. of ancient coated grains have arisen. To answer these questions, in 1978 I started the study of many ancient and recent occurrences of coated grains at the Institut fUr Geologie, Ruhr-UniversiUH Bochum, following the invitation of Hans Fiichtbauer and sponsored by the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung.

Book Synopsis The Geology of Texas by : Reid Ferring
Download or read book The Geology of Texas written by Reid Ferring and published by Thomson Custom Pub. This book was released on 2006-08-01 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Geology of Texas is written to accompany introductory courses including physical and historical geology, as well as physical geography, and was designed to compliment the topics of those courses for students in Texas and surrounding regions. The chapter follows the geologic history of Texas from the Precambrian to recent, with illustrations from virtually all parts of the state. Students will see how plate tectonics as well as surficial processes have created the Texas landscape, and how that geologic record influenced the settlement of Texas and the importance of geology to the inhabitants of the region today. A major theme of the chapter is economic geology, with attention to Texas' important energy resources, especially petroleum and coal, and also the vital groundwater sources that will become increasingly important to the regions' growing population. Environmental issues are also stressed, including the impacts of frequent hurricanes and large floods. The series can be bound into any Thomson Brooks/Cole text to create a more compelling regional edition highlighting relevant material.

Book Synopsis Subsurface and Outcrop Examination of the Capitan Shelf Margin, Northern Delaware Basin by : Paul Mitchell Harris
Download or read book Subsurface and Outcrop Examination of the Capitan Shelf Margin, Northern Delaware Basin written by Paul Mitchell Harris and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shelf sandstone reservoirs, as opposed to shoreline and deep-water deposits, is the subject of this publication. Shelf sands and sandstone reservoirs are among the more poorly understood types of sandstones. Continental, shoreline and deep water sandstones have all been studied in much more depth than have shelf sands and sandstones. However, during the last fifteen years significant progress has been made in understanding shelf sands and sandstones. Studies of modern sediments have allowed us to understand many of the depositional processes active on the shelf.
