Comparison of the Recovery Behavior of Contrasting Reservoir Analogs in the Ferron Sandstone Using Outcrop Studies and Numerical Simulation Comparison of the Recovery Behavior of Contrasting Reservoir Analogs in the Ferron Sandstone Using Outcrop Studies and Numerical Simulation 1998

Fluvial-deltaic reservoirs contain large volumes of oil and gas. These reservoirsandstones may have complex stacking patterns, and shales or very fine grained sandstone may form baffles or barriers to flow.

Architecture and Permeability Structure of a Composite Valley Fill in the Cretaceous Fall River Formation of South Dakota Architecture and Permeability Structure of a Composite Valley Fill in the Cretaceous Fall River Formation of South Dakota 1998

The author of this research mapped strata, facies, and permeability trends through a compasite valley-fill standstone in the Fall River Formation, exposed in Red Canyon, South Dakota. Findings demonstrate the complexity of depositions formed in low-accommodation basin settings.

Basin morphological controls on submarine-fan depositional trends: Spraberry Sandstone, Permian Basin, Texas Basin morphological controls on submarine-fan depositional trends: Spraberry Sandstone, Permian Basin, Texas 1997

The Leonardian Spraberry Formation is a major oil-producing formation of the Permian Basin, accounting for more than 700 million barrels of oil produced from heterogeneous submarine-fan reservoirs.
