Undiscovered, conventional oil and gas resources were assessed in the Senegal Province as part of the U.S. Geological Survey World Petroleum Assessment 2000 (U.S. Geological Survey World Energy Assessment Team, 2000). Although several total petroleum systems may exist in the province, only one composite total petroleum system, the CretaceousTertiary Composite Total Petroleum System, was defined...

This study is predominantly about the differences in shale pore structure and controlling factors of gas content between Lower Silurian Cambrian from upper Yangtze plate, which are great significance to occurrence mechanism gas. The field emission scanning electron microscopy combined with Particles (Pores) Cracks Analysis System software, CO2/N2 adsorption high-pressure mercury injection poros...

Our own research data as well numerous publications of recent years on modern problems oil potential in the West Siberian and gas province were used this study. Based Palyanovskaya, Talinskaya adjacent areas Krasnoleninsky arch, issues deposits structure confinement to certain regional levels section, unconventional reservoirs formation zones tectonic deformations hydrothermal-metasomatic chang...

Reliable measurement of the original diversity of paleovegetation must account for many influences: the amount of time and space represented by the sample, the number of plant parts in the sample, the stature of the paleovegetation in relation to sample area, and the preseruational quality of the sample, as well as the number of species in the source community and their relative abundances. Pla...

Abstract. The Bohemian Massif exposes structures and metamorphic rocks remnant from the Variscan orogeny in central Europe is bordered by Franconian Fault System (FFS) to west. Across FFS, units are buried Permo-Mesozoic sedimentary rocks. We integrate existing DEKORP 2D seismic reflection, well, surface geological data with newly acquired FRANKEN survey investigate possible westward continuati...
