The focus of this article is a process whereby lower crustal crystalline and schistose rocks can rise to the surface, with Tehachapi Mountains in California being case point. As prime example crust, these mountains expose Cretaceous gneisses that formed 25–30 km down Sierra Nevada batholith appear be underlain by ensimatic Rand schist. Integrated geophysical geological studies CALCRUST program have produced cross section through post‐Mid‐Cretaceous structure suggest general model for its...
A Cenozoic tectonic and sedimentary history is proposed for the Southern San Joaquin Basin (SSJB) Tehachapi Mountains that evolved adjacent to plate margin off central California. Seismic reflection, borehole, field, biostratigraphic, paleomagnetic data are integrated into geologic fault structure maps, cross sections, geohistory plots analyzed with previous work in region develop a model relating sequence, timing, distribution of complex, tectonically linked events. The largely buried...
What do the best horizontal wells in Midland Basin Spraberry and Wolfcamp tight oil plays have common? differentiates them from less productive wells? In this study, we address these questions with data assembled a high-resolution geomodel public vendor-sourced completions data. From 10,064 wells, 101 (1%) of most by first-year production length-normalized are selected. We compare completion, spacing, petrophysical, landing, fluid properties between others. Among discoveries, find that A...
The narrow, steep, north insular shelf of Puerto Rico contains terrigenous sands and silts derived from rivers originating in nearby mountains. This compact system provides an ideal setting for the study sand sized sediment dispersal provenance coastal nearshore environments using Fourier shape analysis. Quartz on reflects lateral change source-rock composition. can be divided into a western part containing dominantly angular quartz grains eastern rounded abraded sand. Rivers feeding drain...
