Statistics of petroleum exploration in the non-Communist world outside the United States and Canada Statistics of petroleum exploration in the non-Communist world outside the United States and Canada

The search for petroleum has expanded to include most countries in the world. From January 1, 1950, through 1980, about 160,000 crew months were spent in geologic and geophysical exploration in a study area that includes all nonCommunist countries outside the United States and Canada. By the end of 1982, almost 27,000 wildcat wells had been drilled in this study area; these and other pre...

Pressure sensitivity of low permeability sandstones Pressure sensitivity of low permeability sandstones

Detailed core analysis has been carried out on 32 tight sandstones with permeabilities ranging over four orders of magnitude (0.0002 to 4.8 mD at 5000 psi confining pressure). Relationships between gas permeability and net confining pressure were measured for cycles of loading and unloading. For some samples, permeabilities were measured both along and across bedding planes. Large...

Source of lead and mineralizing brines for rossie-type Pb-Zn veins in the Frontenac axis area, New York ( USA). Source of lead and mineralizing brines for rossie-type Pb-Zn veins in the Frontenac axis area, New York ( USA).

Veins composed mainly of calcite and some galena, sphalerite, fluorite, and other minerals are widespread in the Frontenac axis area of New York and Ontario. In New York, the veins (Fig. 1) occur mainly west and northwest of Gouverneur (Brown, 1983). The veins, mined in the 1800s for lead, were first described by Emmons (1838). Smyth (1903) called these the "Rossie lead veins," a name...

White mica geochemistry of the Catheart Mountain porphyry copper deposit, Maine White mica geochemistry of the Catheart Mountain porphyry copper deposit, Maine

White micas from hydrothermally altered and mineralized zones in the Catheart Mountain Cu-Mo porphyry deposit have regular compositional variations that are generally related to the contents of copper, total iron, and sulfur in the whole rock. Micas in unmineralized rocks exhibit no such relationship. White mica compositions reflect primarily the control imposed by the celadonitic...
