Unconventional shale reservoirs have gained significant attention in recent years in terms of hydrocarbon reserves and production potential. However, exploration and production from shale reservoirs are still very challenging. ...

Salt plays a significant part in the geology of the Gulf of Mexico area (GoM). Numerous basins in the world have undergone evaporation sequences that have deposited vast quantities of salt. Sometimes these deposits have ...

This dissertation focuses on how the kerogen content and its maturity affect the seismic properties for organic-rich shale reservoirs. The dissertation links geochemistry, seismic and petrophysics. The experimental part ...

The spatial correlation function has been introduced to the specific geophysical problem of theoretical characterization of effective elastic properties of gas shales. The spatial correlation function has been described ...
