A Petrologic and Diagenetic Study of the Onondaga Formation, New Jersey
McGee, Kelsey L. (East Carolina University, 2017-07-18)A petrologic investigation of the Onondaga Formation in New Jersey has never been conducted, although similar studies have taken place in the surrounding states of New York and Pennsylvania. Thirteen sample sites from the ... -
Determining structural and stratigraphic controls on natural gas production of the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone, Catskill delta complex, southern West Virginia
Noles, Jonathan R. (East Carolina University, 2017-07-26)Understanding the controls on natural gas production from the Upper Devonian Gordon sandstone may help petroleum geologists and reservoir engineers better develop and implement a plan for reservoir restimulation to recover ... -
The Devonian West Falls Formation, implications of sedimentation controlled by preexisting structures, West Virginia
Smith, Casey (East Carolina University, 2012)The Devonian (Frasnian) aged West Falls Formation in West Virginia contains gamma-ray signatures that have been interpreted to indicate sedimentation within a foreland (foredeep) basin. The West Falls Formation includes ... -
Geology of the Castle Hayne Limestone in the Onslow Quarry, Richlands, NC
Simms, Craig (East Carolina University, 2012)The Eocene age Castle Hayne Limestone Formation on the coastal plain of North Carolina is found throughout Onslow County and is mined at the Onslow quarry south of Richlands. This study characterizes the geology of the ... -
Petroleum Geology of the Utica/Point Pleasant Play in Washington County, Ohio
Brinkley, Scott A. (East Carolina University, 2016-07-20)The early Late Ordovician interval, known as the Utica-Point Pleasant play, in southeastern Ohio is poorly constrained due to limited data sets. A previous study by the Appalachian Basin Oil and Natural Gas Research ... -
Petrology of the Alderson Formation (Mississippian) in Southeastern West Virginia
Gray, Brian Erwin (East Carolina University, 1985-12)The purpose of this research is to study in detail the Alderson and Greenville Formations, which have been treated previously only in general studies of the entire Greenbrier Group. The objectives of this thesis are: 1) ... -
Stratigraphy and petroleum geology of the Alexander silstone in Doddridge and Ritchie Counties, West Virginia
Cummings, Katie L. (East Carolina University, 2014)The Upper Devonian Alexander siltstone is an informally named drillers' unit that occurs throughout the eastern half of the gas-producing portion of the Appalachian basin. The Alexander is primarily a gas-producing unit ... -
Stratigraphy and Petroleum Geology of the Blue Monday Sandstone, Central West Virginia
Ganak, Megan E. (East Carolina University, 2011)The Upper Mississippian Blue Monday sandstone is a primarily gas producing unit found in several central West Virginia gas fields. The purpose of this study was to characterize the stratigraphy and petroleum geology as ... -
THE MARCELLUS SHALE: EROSIONAL BOUNDARY AND PRODUCTION ANALYSIS, SOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIA, U.S.A.
Stevenson, Mallory (East Carolina University, 1/13/16)The Middle Devonian Marcellus Shale is a natural gas producing formation that was deposited in the Appalachian foreland basin in what is now eastern North America. An unconformity truncates the Marcellus in southern West ... -
The Relationship Between the Taghanic Unconformity and Marcellus Shale Production in Doddridge and Ritchie Counties, West Virginia
Adams, Emily (East Carolina University, 2016-07-27)The Marcellus Shale, a geologic unit that extends from New York to West Virginia within the Appalachian region, is the source of trillions of cubic feet of natural gas due to organic-rich properties. The formation of the ...
