Thermal history reconstruction from apatite fission-track analysis and vitrinite reflectance data of the Bongor Basin, the Republic of Chad
Apatite fission track analysis and vitrinite reflectance are used to characterize main episodes of heating and cooling in a rift basin in southern Chad. This information provides a framework from which the history of hydrocarbon generation and structural development can be better understood.

Prediction of the gas-generating characteristics of the Qiongzhusi and Longmaxi Formations, Yangtze Platform, southern China, using analogues
The likelihood of late gas formation in the Sichuan Basin, China, is examined by comparing with less mature analogues in Lithuania and Australia. Late gas generation from very stable refractory kerogen structures via alpha-cleavage reactions at maturities above 2% equivalent vitrinite reflectance was verified.

A method to predict the resistivity index for tight sandstone reservoirs from nuclear magnetic resonance data
The authors develop a method to predict water exponents from nuclear magnetic resonance logs in tight sandstone reservoirs. A theoretical model was established to predict the resistivity index based on fractal theory, and results were validated with data from other tight sandstone reservoirs.

From seep carbonates down to petroleum systems: An outcrop study from the southeastern France Basin
Seep carbonates are conceptualized as a key element for analyzing petroleum systems at basin scale. This case study illustrates how seep carbonate mapping, in combination with the tectono-sedimentary context of each basin, may be a valuable tool for petroleum geologists.

Magnetic susceptibility variations in lower Paleozoic shales of the western Baltic Basin (northern Poland): A tool for regional stratigraphic correlations and the decoding of paleoenvironmental changes
Magnetic susceptibility is used to identify paleoenvironments and high organic content. It is a relatively fast and inexpensive measurement tool for regional drill core correlations and may be successfully used as a paleoenvironmental indicator. In this study it is related to the amount of chlorite.

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.

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.

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).
