Reservoir Characterization of Upper Devonian Gordon Sandstone , Jacksonburg , Stringtown Oil Field

The Jacksonburg-Stringtown field was discovered in 1895. It is located on the western flank of the Burchfield syncline, in southeastern Wetzel, eastern Tyler, and northwestern Doddridge counties, West Virginia. Over 500 wells were drilled in the field between 1 897 and 190 1 ; most were plugged by 19 10. Primary recovery has been estimated to lie between 1454 and 1590 barrels of oil per acre. P...

An investigation of the genus Mesacanthus (Chordata: Acanthodii) from the Orcadian Basin and Midland Valley areas of Northern and Central Scotland using traditional morphometrics

Mesacanthus is a common and speciose genus of acanthodian fish from Lower Old Red Sandstone and Middle Old Red Sandstone assemblages (representing the Lower Devonian and Middle Devonian respectively) and is well represented in many palaeoichthyology collections in the UK. Based upon descriptions given during the 19th century, specimens of the genus Mesacanthus from the Orcadian Basin and Midlan...

The late Middle Devonian fauna of Red Hill I, Nevada, and its paleobiogeographic implications

Red Hill I forms the northern end of the Northern Simpson Park Range, northwest of Eureka, Nevada. The Red Hill I locality (lowest part of Red Hill section II in Murphy et al. 1976, Red Hill I of Gregory et al. 1977) lies near the exposed bottom of a sequence of reddish, yellow and greenish gray silty lime mudstones, approximately 80 m thick, at the base of the southwest flank of Red Hill (NW ,...

Diagenesis of Luxembourg Sandstone

Research has been conducted into the diagenesis of the Luxembourg Sandstone. Literature studies were followed by a visit to the outcrop, after which thin sections were studied. The Luxembourg Sandstone Formation has been deposited in the Hettangian and Sinemurian, both lower Jurassic ages. A sea strait connecting the Northern German Basin and the Paris Basin was located in present day Luxembour...
