Radionuclides in fly ash and bottom ash: Improved characterization based on radiography and low energy gamma-ray spectrometry Radionuclides in fly ash and bottom ash: Improved characterization based on radiography and low energy gamma-ray spectrometry
Two radiation-based techniques for determining the distribution and relative abundance of radionuclides are described, and applied to a suite of fly ash and bottom ash samples from a Kentucky power plant. The technique of fission-track radiography provides new observations of the variety of uranium hosts and of uranium distribution in individual particles of fly ash, and thus aids...

Black shale source rocks and oil generation in the Cambrian and Ordovician of the central Appalachian Basin, USA Black shale source rocks and oil generation in the Cambrian and Ordovician of the central Appalachian Basin, USA
Nearly 600 million bbl of oil (MMBO) and 1 to 1.5 trillion ft3 (tcf) of gas have been produced from Cambrian and Ordovician reservoirs (carbonate and sandstone) in the Ohio part of the Appalachian basin and on adjoining arches in Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario, Canada. Most of the oil and gas is concentrated in the giant Lima-Indiana field on the Findlay and Kankakee arches and in small...

U.S. Geological Survey studies of water co-produced with oil and gas: Implications for future petroleum resource development U.S. Geological Survey studies of water co-produced with oil and gas: Implications for future petroleum resource development
The U.S. Geological Survey is conducting research on the impacts of produced waters on petroleum resource development and the environment. Ongoing multidisciplinary investigations are focused on the 1) quantity and quality of current water production, 2) geologic and geochemical parameters that influence the viability of injection wells, and 3) processes that affect the dispersion of...

Digital geologic and geophysical data of Bangladesh Digital geologic and geophysical data of Bangladesh
This CD-ROM was compiled according to the methodology developed by the U.S. Geological Survey's World Energy Project. The goal of the project was to assess the undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and gas resources of the world and report these results by the year 2000. A worldwide series of geologic maps, published on CD-ROMs, was released by the U.S. Geological Survey's World...

Geochemistry of oils from the Junggar basin, northwest China Geochemistry of oils from the Junggar basin, northwest China
The Junggar basin of northwestern China is a structural basin containing a thick sequence of Paleozoic-Pleistocene rocks with estimated oil reserves of as much as 5 billion bbl. Analyses of 19 oil samples from nine producing fields and two oil-stained cores in the Junggar basin revealed the presence of at least five genetic oil types. The geochemistry of the oils indicates source organic...

The Blake Nose Cretaceous-Paleogene (Florida Atlantic margin, ODP Leg 171 B): An exemplar record of the Maastrichtian-Danian transition The Blake Nose Cretaceous-Paleogene (Florida Atlantic margin, ODP Leg 171 B): An exemplar record of the Maastrichtian-Danian transition
During ODP Leg 171B, devoted to the analysis of the Blake Plateau margin in front of Florida, 16 holes have been drilled in 5 distinct sites. The sites have documented a sedimentary succession ranging in age from Aptian to Eocene. Emphasis has been put on critical periods, comprising the Paleocene-Eocene transition, the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary which has been cored in excellent...
