Organic matter (OM) type critically controls the hydrocarbon generation potential and organic pore development in black shales. However, maceral variation lacustrine shales its control on are not yet well understood. In this study, 15 Chang 7 Member shale samples of Yanchang Formation, Ordos Basin, were investigated with petrography, Rock-Eval pyrolysis, a scanning electron microscope to study ...

To understand the hydrogeochemical processes regulating well water arsenic (As) evolution in fractured bedrock aquifers, three domestic wells with [As] up to 478 μg/L are investigated in central Maine. Geophysical logging reveals that fractures near the borehole bottom contribute 70-100% of flow. Borehole and fracture water samples from various depths show significant proportions of As (up to 6...

Meert J .G. and Smith, D.L. , 1991. Heat flow at the Platanares, Honduras , geothermal site. In: F .Goff (Editor), Honduras A Geothermal Investigation. J. Volcanol. Geotherm. Res., 4 5 : 9 1 9 9 . Three boreholes, PLTG-1, PLTG-2 and PLTG-3, were drilled in the Platanares, Honduras geothermal system to evaluate the geothermal energy potential of the site. The max imum reservoir temperature was p...

Receiver function is defined as the spectral ratio of the radial component and the vertical component of the ground motion. It is used to characterize converted waves. We extend the use of the receiver function to downhole data using waves recorded in a borehole, excited by an earthquake of magnitude 4.0 near San Francisco, California, on 26 June 1994. The focal depth of the event was 6.6 km an...

knowledge of the orientation of horizontal in situ stresses is important to some areas of oil and gas field development plans. borehole breakouts observed in image logs and drilling-induced fractures are the main parameters for the determination of the stresses’ directions in situ. in this work, the orientations of borehole breakouts were investigated as a function of depth in oil wells a and b...

Department of Mineralogy, Petrography and Geochemistry is the oldest Earth science department at the AGH University of Science and Technology. It was created in 1919 as one of the first six departments of the Academy of Mining and was initially named as the Department of Mineralogy and Petrography. The Department was organized by Professor Józef Morozewicz (1865–1941) who chaired the Organizing...

Seventeen samples from the Cadeby Formation (Lopingian, Permian, EZ1) of Quarry near Doncaster, South Yorkshire, UK, yielded organic residues including phytoclasts, cuticle, unstructured tissue and generally well-preserved palynomorphs. The palynomorph assemblages are dominated by taeniate non-taeniate bisaccate pollen Klausipollenites schaubergeri, Limitisporites rectus, Lueckisporites virkkia...

The activity concentration of gross alpha and gross beta particles in four samples of borehole drinking water consumed in Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University (IBBU), Lapai, Niger State-Nigeria was measured, using a portable single channel gas free proportional counter (MPC2000B-DP) detector. This study focused on cancer related problems and the bio-data of the environment was discussed as wel...

The propagation of seismic waves in an open borehole is reviewed. The principal wave types are the refracted P and S waves and the two guided waves pseudo-Rayleigh and Stoneley. The dispersion properties of the gUided waves are analyzed. An efficient method of computing synthetic microseismograms is described. The relative effects of the borehole. fluid and formation properties on the propagati...
