Wings, mushrooms, and Christmas trees: The carbonate seismic geomorphology of Central Luconia, Miocene–present, offshore Sarawak, northwest Borneo

Carbonate buildups in Central Luconia, offshore northwest Borneo, display complex seismic geomorphologies formed in response to high frequency, high-amplitude oscillation of sea level and periodic incursions of siliciclastics. These results have implications for petroleum exploration and production.

Characterization of the micropore systems in high-rank coal reservoirs of the southern Sichuan Basin, China

Based on a study of 51 coal samples, pores in coals can be divided into plant tissue hole, blowhole, dissolved pore, and intercrystalline pore. Pore structure can be opened, semi-closed, and ink bottle.” The total pore volume shows a positive relationship with the total specific surface area.

Feldspar dissolution, authigenic clays, and quartz cements in open and closed sandstone geochemical systems during diagenesis: Typical examples from two sags in Bohai Bay Basin, East China

Feldspar dissolution and precipitation of clay and quartz cements affect reservoir quality in sandstones with detrital feldspar. This paper evaluates their impact on two Eocene fan delta sandstones in Bohai Bay Basin, China.

Data Purchase 'Changes Game'

Times may be tough for seismic companies, but not all companies are waiting for the current storm to pass. Spectrum ASA recently moved to gain a greater global footprint by purchasing Fugro’s 2-D seismic library – a move Spectrum CEO Rune Eng called a “game changer” for the multi-client seismic imaging company.

Geomodeling for Development and Production Geology

This new e-symposium highlights methodologies for managing the wide range of input data used in geomodeling, and approaches to building fit for purpose 3D geological models. It shows how to design modeling schemes, identify uncertainties and how to apply results to real life field development. It is scheduled on 29 October at 2:00 pm (CST).

PROWESS Honors China's First Female Geologist

AAPG can trace its first woman member back to 1918, whereas in other countries, women began studying and practicing geology decades later. China is one of those countries. The PROWESS committee recently discovered China’s first female petroleum geologist, Yang Yi, who began studying geology in the 1940s.

Feldspar dissolution enhanced porosity in Paleoproterozoic shale reservoir facies from the Barney Creek Formation (McArthur Basin, Australia)

The Paleoproterozoic Barney Creek Formation (BCF; McArthur Basin, Australia) is one of the oldest active hydrocarbon systems on Earth with oil and gas shows present within organic-rich intervals (up to 7 wt% TOC). We combine bulk geochemical analyses, pore space characterization and high-resolution electron imaging techniques to characterize the evolution of the BCF pore system with maturity.
