Carrier beds as reservoirs
Historically, the exploration for oil and gas resources has focused on identifying structural and stratigraphic trams associated with conventional accumulations. This special issue aims at introducing a new exploration paradigm through case studies in the United States and Canada.

Carrier bed plays associated with conventional petroleum accumulations
A play from western Canada and one from New Mexico produce from carrier beds that serve as migration pathways for oil in conventional reservoirs. Carrier beds typically have lower porosity and permeability associated with facies changes. Lower permeability, however, is no longer a barrier to production.

A review of the Bakken petroleum systems in the United States and Canada: Recognizing the importance of the Middle Member play
With the development of unconventional play opportunities, the Middle Member of the Bakken Formation, Williston Basin, is of renewed interest. Geochemical techniques are used to calculate mobile oil saturation to fully define this member as the key reservoir of the Bakken petroleum system.

Reservoir characterization of fairways in a tight light oil play of the Upper Cretaceous Cardium Formation, west Pembina, Alberta, Canada
Reservoir characterization of unconventional reservoirs of the Cardium Formation along the western margin of the legacy Pembina oil pool in central Alberta is explored in this paper. These halo plays represent portions of conventional light oil pools that do not meet traditional petrophysical cutoffs and pay criteria.

The offshore Mancos play in the San Juan Basin as a component of the Mancos total petroleum system
The offshore Mancos play is interpreted as a carrier bed play within the Mancos total petroleum system. Oils generated in downdip mature source rocks migrated updip through the carrier bed sandstones of the offshore play and into conventional reservoirs.

Carrier-bed plays in the Denver and Powder River Basins
A carrier-bed play is characterized by low-quality reservoirs with pervasive, regional hydrocarbon saturation. The Denver and Powder River Basins, Rocky Mountain region, United States, are examples of carrier-bed plays. This play requires horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracture stimulation.

Hydrogeochemical controls on brackish groundwater and its suitability for use in hydraulic fracturing: The Dockum Aquifer, Midland Basin, Texas
To better understand controls on the origin and evolution of brackish groundwater, the hydrogeochemistry of brackish groundwaters was studied within the Triassic Dockum Group across the Midland Basin in Texas. The suitability of Dockum Aquifer water for use in hydraulic fracturing fluid was examined because the area overlies the largest and most productive tight oil province in the United States.

Facies associations and chemostratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous Kurnub Group and their boundaries, King Talal Dam section, northwestern Jordan
Integrated petrographic and chemostratigraphic studies have enabled the identification of sequence boundaries, sequence stratigraphy, and their system tracts for the Lower Cretaceous strata of the Kurnub Group (Jordan); the latter is underlain by the Jurassic (Callovian) strata and overlain by the Cretaceous (Cenomanian).

High-resolution satellite imagery applied to monitoring revegetation of oil-sands-exploration well pads
To achieve reclamation certification, oil-and-gas operations in Alberta, Canada are required to monitor the revegetation of idle well pads that no longer support operations. Currently, monitoring is completed by oblique, helicopter-collected photography and on-the-ground field surveys.

Strontium isotopes as a potential fingerprint of total dissolved solids associated with hydraulic-fracturing activities in the Barnett Shale, Texas
A dramatic increase in unconventional drilling that utilizes hydraulic fracturing to extract oil/gas over the past decade has led to concern over handling and management of produced/flowback water (PFW; hydraulic-fracturing wastewater) because the potential exists for its accidental release into the environment.

State of stress in the Illinois Basin and constraints on inducing failure
The stress regime in the Illinois Basin was investigated to assess how the rock column might respond to the injection of fluids, including coproduced formation brines and supercritical CO2.This response is a concern because injection practices could increase pore fluid pressure and potentially induce seismicity.

Structural architecture of the Farnsworth oil unit: Implications for geologic storage of carbon dioxide
Surface and airborne gas monitoring programs are becoming an important part of environmental protection in areas favorable for subsurface storage of carbon dioxide. Understanding structural architecture and its effects on the flux of fluids, specifically CO2 and CH4, in the shallow subsurface and atmosphere is helping with designing and implementing next-generation monitoring technologies, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
