Correlation of early Paleogene global diversity patterns of large benthic foraminifera with Paleocene-Eocene hyperthermal events Correlation of early Paleogene global diversity patterns of large benthic foraminifera with Paleocene-Eocene hyperthermal events
Large benthic foraminifera (LBF) were major contributors to many Paleogene carbonate platforms around the world. These photosymbiotic foraminifera lived in warm, oligotrophic, shallow waters within the photic zone. Such Paleogene families as the nummulitids, alveolinids, and orthophragminids rose to prominence in the late Paleocene, thrived in the early and middle Eocene, and declined in...

Advances in carbonate exploration and reservoir analysis Advances in carbonate exploration and reservoir analysis
Carbonate reservoirs contain an increasingly important percentage of the world’s hydrocarbon reserves. This volume presents key recent advances in carbonate exploration and reservoir analysis. As well as a comprehensive overview of the trends in carbonate over the years, the volume focuses on four key areas: (1) emerging plays and techniques with special reference to lacustrine plays in...
Advances in carbonate exploration and reservoir analysis Advances in carbonate exploration and reservoir analysis
The development of innovative techniques and concepts, and the emergence of new plays in carbonate rocks are creating a resurgence of oil and gas discoveries worldwide. The maturity of a basin and the application of exploration concepts have a fundamental influence on exploration strategies. Exploration success often occurs in underexplored basins by applying existing established...

Assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources of Libya and Tunisia, 2010 Assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources of Libya and Tunisia, 2010
Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated means of 3.97 billion barrels of undiscovered oil, 38.5 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered natural gas, and 1.47 billion barrels of undiscovered natural gas liquids in two provinces of North Africa.

Paleomagnetic evidence that the central block of Salinia (California) is not a far-traveled terrane Paleomagnetic evidence that the central block of Salinia (California) is not a far-traveled terrane
New paleomagnetic results from Late Cretaceous (75–85 m.y.) red beds on the central block of Salinia indicate that Salinia was located within 6° (in latitude) of its current cratonal North American position during the Late Cretaceous (after correction for Neogene San Andreas Fault transport). The red beds formed as alluvial-fan overbank deposits with hematite cement deposited directly on...
