Project Fact Sheet: An Experimental and Theoretical Study to Relate Uncommon Rock/Fluid Properties to Oil Recovery - A Geologic/Engineering Approach
This submission includes synthetic seismic modeling data for the Push-Pull project at Brady Hot Springs, NV. The synthetic seismic is all generated by finite-difference method regarding different fracture and rock properties.
Digital Rocks is a data portal for fast storage and retrieval, sharing, organization and analysis of images of varied porous micro-structures. It has the purpose of enhancing research resources for modeling/prediction of porous material properties in the fields of Petroleum, Civil and Environmental Engineering as well as Geology. This platform allows managing, preserving, visualization and basic analysis of available images of porous materials and experiments performed on them, and any accompanying measurements (porosity, capillary pressure, permeability, electrical, NMR and elastic properties, etc.) required for both validation on modeling approaches and the upscaling and building of larger (hydro)geological models.
Data includes Directional Cooling-Induced Fracturing (DCIF) testing data using westerly granite blocks. This submission includes data from two samples of westerly granite, lab sample 7 and 8. Files contain stress, temperature and acoustic emission data acquired during polyaxial, laboratory testing of westerly granite blocks for each sample. FILES: .tradb -- files containing acoustic emission waveforms; sqlite3 database .pridb -- files containing basic acoustic emission information (no waveforms); sqlite3 database .geom -- geometry of the AE sensor network (ASCII)
his ScienceBase community represents the National Digital Catalog of the National Geological and Geophysical Data Preservation Program (NGGDPP). The National Digital Catalog includes metadata records describing geological and geophysical physical samples managed by state geological agencies. These samples include rock samples, thin sections, field notebooks, photographs, maps, datasets, and many more. Samples are described using metadata elements identified by the NGGDPP as important for discovering, understanding, accessing, and using physical collections. Contact and access information is provided for each sample to enable users to access information and material. More information about the National Digital Catalog is available at: http://datapreservation.usgs.gov/
This dataset includes an Excel file with the results of B-value tests to determine the magnitude of the back pressure required for full saturation of Sierra White granite samples. Test were conducted on cylindrical rock specimens of Sierra White granite in a custom water pressurized chamber. Dimensions and properties of Sierra White granite specimens are summarized in the PDF file. The PDF file also includes a description of the B-value tests, experimental procedure, and results.
Rock Matrix and Fracture Analysis of Flow in Western Tight Gas Sands; December 1987
Well data for the INEL-1 well located in eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho. This data collection includes caliper logs, lithology reports, borehole logs, temperature at depth data, neutron density and gamma data, full color logs, fracture analysis, photos, and rock strength parameters for the INEL-1 well. This collection of data has been assembled as part of the site characterization data used to develop the conceptual geologic model for the Snake River Plain site in Idaho, as part of phase 1 of the Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) initiative. They were assembled by the Snake River Geothermal Consortium (SRGC), a team of collaborators that includes members from national laboratories, universities, industry, and federal agencies, lead by the Idaho National Laboratory (INL).
From the site: "Geochemical analysis of rock samples collected and analyzed by the USGS. This dataset includes and supersedes rock data formerly released as "Geochemistry of igneous rocks in the US extracted from the PLUTO database". The database contains 414,304 records."
This submission includes an update to the WHOLESCALESamples2021January.xls file where the strikes and dips initially reported have been corrected to comply with the right hand rule. The updated excel file and a link to the original submission are included in this report. The original submission "WHOLESCALE Catalog of Rock Samples at San Emidio Nevada collected in January 2021" contains information on thirty-six rock samples collected from San Emidio, Nevada during January, 2021 for Subtask 2.3 of the WHOLESCALE project. The following resources include a .zip of rock sample photos taken in the field, a .zip of rock sample photos taken in the laboratory at UW-Madison, and an excel catalog of rock samples with information on sample name, rock type, coordinates of sample location, structural measurements, field notes, observations for plug preparation (e.g., weathering, ability to be cut and cored), and rock descriptions. It should be noted that not every sample was photographed in the field. Names and descriptions of rock formation units are taken from Rhodes et al. (2011). The README.txt file is a description of this submission.
