  • Large Scale Natural Gas Emplacement Traced by Noble Gases: the Virunga Volcanic Province
    Large scale natural gas emplacement traced by noble gases: the Virunga Volcanic Province Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation “with Research Distinction in Geological Science” in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University By Erica Lynn Maletic The Ohio State University May 2015 Project Advisor: Dr. Thomas Darrah, School of Earth Sciences Abstract Enhanced oil recovery (EOR), sometimes called tertiary recovery, involves the injection of miscible fluids such as carbon dioxide (CO2) into previously produced hydrocarbon reservoirs. EOR commonly prolongs the life of petroleum reservoirs globally, in some instances nearly doubling the amount of petroleum initially recovered with conventional methods and water flooding. As a result, today, carbon dioxide reservoirs with sufficient volume and pressure to provide EOR fluids are a resource that is in an increasingly high demand. For these reasons, the development of geochemical techniques, capable of better characterizing the source and the history of CO2 reservoir filling, trapping, and producible volumes is critical to the future economic success of EOR and the petroleum industry in general. In order to explore successfully for economically viable CO2 fields, one needs to understand the sources, emplacement history, and subsequent tectonic evolution of a CO2 reservoir. These factors can be determined by understanding the magmatic source of CO2 gases, the isotopic composition of the CO2 gas, the stratigraphic and structural conditions of reservoir trapping, and the volume of CO2 that is present in reservoirs today. The Virunga Volcanic Province (VVP), located along the western branch of the East African Rift System (EARS), provides an example of a currently filling CO2 reservoir.

  • Antropogeografia Prehistórica Del Norte De Chile
    ANTROPOGEOGRAFIA PREHISTORICA DEL NORTE D E CH ILE Por RICARDO E. LATCHAM Fuera del reducido círculo de los que se han preocupado de la «(rqueología del país, el tema que presentamos es práctica­ mente desconocido. La prehistoria chilena, hasta ahora, ha sido muy poco estudiada y, en general, ha despertado escaso interés. Nuestros historiadores del siglo pasado, propagaron una serie de errores respecto de los indios del país, los que quedaron arraigados de tal manera en la enseñanza que se creyó inútil hacer mayores investigaciones. ■ Se suponía que desde Coquim­ Bo al sur, la raza indígena haBía sido homogénea y de estir­ pe araucana. Se imaginaBa que dicho pueBlo vivía en estado de salvajismo y que sólo con la llegada de los incas se intro­ dujo entre ellos los vestigios de cultura más adelantada que en­ contraron los españoles a su arriBo. El territorio, que hoy for­ man las provincias septentrionales de Chile, era muy poco co­ nocido durante los primeros tiempos de la , colonia y en todo caso formaBa parte del virreinato del Perú. Se formó la ide.^ de que esa región era poBlada sólo en la costa por reducidas triBus de pescadores y qüe el interior era desierto y deshaBi­ tado. Todos estos conceptos son erróneos, como hemos demos­ trado en numerosas puBlicaciones y conferencias, durante los últimos treinta años, aun cuando todavía se repiten en los tex­ tos de historia. En el presente artículo no pensamos repetir los argu­ mentos que nos asisten para hacer semejantes declaraciones res­ pecto del centro y sur del país, concretándonos a exponer al­ gunos datos referentes a la distriBución geográfica de los anti­ guos poBladores de las provincias del norte, en las diferentes épocas de su existencia.
