Outcrop analogs play a central role in understanding subseismic interwell depositional facies heterogeneity of carbonate reservoirs. geologists rarely utilize near-surface seismic data due to the limited vertical resolution and difficulty visualizing signals as “band-limited rocks.” This study proposes methodology using combination forward modeling conditional generative adversarial network (cG...

Abstract This paper proposes an annealing-type algorithm for generating multiple realizations of facies distributions that: (i) honor the facies data at well locations, (ii) match global...

Physical properties of sediments are commonly used to define subsurface lithofacies and these same physical properties influence subsurface microbial communities. This suggests an (unexploited) opportunity to use the spatial distribution of facies to predict spatial variation in biogeochemically relevant microbial attributes. Here, we characterize three biogeochemical facies-oxidized, reduced, ...

Abstract The seismic stratigraphy and sedimentary facies of the Cretaceous Paleogene successions in north-eastern offshore part Taranaki Basin, New Zealand have been investigated order to unravel their depositional evolution identify potential hydrocarbon plays. Interpretation regional lines covering entire shelf-slope deepwater regions as well integrating allows identification several seismic-...

Abstract Seismic anisotropy and attenuation make claystone formations difficult to characterize. On the other hand, in many geotechnical environments, precise knowledge of structure elastic properties clay is needed. In crystalline rock salt underground structures, high-resolution seismic tomography reflection imaging have proven a useful tool for structural mechanical characterization at scale...

Remains of hominoid primates collected by Yale Peabody Museum Geological Survey of Pakistan expeditions to the Siwalik Group rocks of the Potwar Plateau, Pakistan, are described. They consist of facial, gnathic, dental, and postcranial remains of Ramapithecus, Sivapithecus, and Gigantopithecus. They are discussed anatomically and without precise taxonomic attributions. The hominoids come from 2...
