Organic petrology data supporting a study examining petroleum source rock properties of the Icebox Formation Organic petrology data supporting a study examining petroleum source rock properties of the Icebox Formation
The Ordovician Icebox Formation of the Winnipeg Group has been interpreted as a petroleum source rock within the Williston Basin for over 50 years. Despite limited hydrocarbon production from Winnipeg Group reservoirs and being deeply buried (located below most of the current hydrocarbon producing reservoirs), the petroleum industry continues to periodically drill wells through the...
USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project—Buda Limestone of Texas: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project—Buda Limestone of Texas: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables
This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units and input data for the assessment of undiscovered conventional oil and gas resources in the Buda limestone reservoir of Texas. The assessment unit is the fundamental unit used in the National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment (NAGA) Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The assessment unit is...
Surface-water-quality data collected in mountaintop mining areas of West Virginia and Kentucky in 2023 Surface-water-quality data collected in mountaintop mining areas of West Virginia and Kentucky in 2023
In 2023, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a reconnaissance survey of surface-water quality in areas of southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky that have ongoing and/or historic mountaintop removal mining for coal resources. The water-quality data collected during the survey are collated in this data release.
Produced water geochemical data from the Paradox and Uinta Basins, Utah, 2024 Produced water geochemical data from the Paradox and Uinta Basins, Utah, 2024
This data release contains major ion geochemistry (B, Ba, Br, Cl, Ca, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Na, Si, SO4, Sr) and total dissolved solids measurements from produced water samples collected from petroleum wells in the Paradox and Uinta Basins, Utah. Analyses were conducted at the U.S. Geological Survey laboratories in Reston, Virginia. The release comprises two files: one metadata file and one...
Neutron scattering intensities of Niobrara Formation rocks with pressurized perdeuterated methane, perdeuterated methane-methane, and perdeuterated methane-ethane mixtures Neutron scattering intensities of Niobrara Formation rocks with pressurized perdeuterated methane, perdeuterated methane-methane, and perdeuterated methane-ethane mixtures
This data release (https://doi.org/10.5066/P13JNYU2) contains neutron scattering intensities of a Niobrara Formation rock sample in the presence of pressurized perdeuterated methane, perdeuterated methane-methane, and perdeuterated methane-ethane mixtures at 60 degrees C. Also provided are the densities and scattering length densities for the various fluid mixtures and modeled accessible...
Metaproteomic Data Associated with Produced Waters collected from the Antrim Shale in Michigan, 2023 Metaproteomic Data Associated with Produced Waters collected from the Antrim Shale in Michigan, 2023
This data release contains metaproteomics data from subsurface methanogenic communities in an Antrim Shale (Michigan basin, MI) natural gas well. The subsurface microbial communities have interacted with produced waters that were exposed to ambient surficial conditions prior to injection of the produced waters into the well. These data are used in a related publication to understand...
Data and model archive for simulations of microbial sulfate reduction and methanogenesis in porous media during underground hydrogen storage Data and model archive for simulations of microbial sulfate reduction and methanogenesis in porous media during underground hydrogen storage
This data release and model archive contains geochemical and microbial reaction modeling input files, selected output files, and an accompanying data dictionary. The files were used to simulate hydrogen consumption during underground hydrogen storage (UHS). Batch-reaction simulations were developed using the React program in Geochemist’s Workbench (GWB) and are based on estimated...
Reflectance data from vitrinite and bituminite in the Kimmeridge Clay Formation supporting the ICCP Identification of Dispersed Organic Matter Working Group round robin exercises from 2016 to 2020 Reflectance data from vitrinite and bituminite in the Kimmeridge Clay Formation supporting the ICCP Identification of Dispersed Organic Matter Working Group round robin exercises from 2016 to 2020
Three round robin exercises (RRE) aimed at characterizing bituminite and testing the reproducibility of random vitrinite (VRo %) and bituminite (BitRo %) reflectance measurements of the Kimmeridge Clay Formation were conducted in 2016, 2018, and 2020. This work was conducted by the Identification of Dispersed Organic Matter Working Group (IDOM WG) of the International Committee for Coal...
Data supporting a study using low-temperature hydrous pyrolysis as a method of determining the quantity and quality of oil retained in thermally mature, Mowry Shale, Powder River Basin, Wyoming Data supporting a study using low-temperature hydrous pyrolysis as a method of determining the quantity and quality of oil retained in thermally mature, Mowry Shale, Powder River Basin, Wyoming
The Cretaceous Mowry Shale is a prolific source rock in numerous Laramide basins and operators have recently increased research activity testing the Mowry as an unconventional source-rock resevoir in the Powder River Basin (PRB). Despite this recent increase in research activity, much work remains on characterizing the quantity and quality of oil retained in thermally mature Mowry Shale...
