  • Subsurface Facies Analysis of the Devonian Berea Sandstone in Southeastern Ohio
    SUBSURFACE FACIES ANALYSIS OF THE DEVONIAN BEREA SANDSTONE IN SOUTHEASTERN OHIO William T. Garnes A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE December 2014 Committee: James Evans, Advisor Jeffrey Snyder Charles Onasch ii ABSTRACT James Evans, Advisor The Devonian Berea Sandstone is an internally complex, heterogeneous unit that appears prominently both in outcrop and subsurface in Ohio. While the unit is clearly deltaic in outcrops in northeastern Ohio, its depositional setting is more problematic in southeastern Ohio where it is only found in the subsurface. The goal of this project was to search for evidence of a barrier island/inlet channel depositional environment for the Berea Sandstone to assess whether the Berea Sandstone was deposited under conditions in southeastern Ohio unique from northeastern Ohio. This project involved looking at cores from 5 wells: 3426 (Athens Co.), 3425 (Meigs Co.), 3253 (Athens Co.), 3252 (Athens Co.), and 3251 (Athens Co.) In cores, the Berea Sandstone ranges from 2 to 10 m (8-32 ft) thick, with an average thickness of 6.3 m (20.7 ft). Core descriptions involved hand specimens, thin section descriptions, and core photography. In addition to these 5 wells, the gamma ray logs from 13 wells were used to interpret the architecture and lithologies of the Berea Sandstone in Athens Co. and Meigs Co. as well as surrounding Vinton, Washington, and Morgan counties. Analysis from this study shows evidence of deltaic lobe progradation, abandonment, and re-working. Evidence of interdistributary bays with shallow sub-tidal environments, as well as large sand bodies, is also present.

  • GIS-Based Hydrogeological Platform for Sedimentary Media
    [Annex I: Articles and reports related to the development of this thesis] GIS-based hydrogeological platform for sedimentary media PhD Thesis Domitila Violeta Velasco Mansilla Advisor: Dr. Enric Vázquez Suñè Hydrogeology Group (GHS) Institute of Environmental Assesment and Water Research (IDAEA), Spanish Research Council(CSIC) Dept. Geotechnical Engineering and Geosciences, Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), Barcelona Chapter 1: Introduction I. ABSTRACT The detailed 3D hydrogeological modelling of sedimentary media (e.g. alluvial, deltaic, etc) that form important aquifers is very complex because of: (1) the natural intrinsic heterogeneity of the geological media, (2) the need for integrating reliable 3D geological models that represent this heterogeneity in the hydrogeological modelling process and (3) the scarcity of comprenhensive tools for the systematic management of spatial and temporal dependent data. The first aim of this thesis was the development of a software platform to facilitate the creation of 3D hydrogeological models in sedimentary media. It is composed of a hydrogeological geospatial database and several sets of instruments working within a GIS environment. They were designed to manage, visualise, analyse, interpret and pre and post- process the data stored in the spatial database The geospatial database (HYDOR) is based on the Personal Geodatabase structure of ArcGIS(ESRI) and enables the user to integrate into a logical and consistent structure the wide range of spatio-temporal dependent groundwater information ( e.g. geological, hydrogeological, geographical, etc data) from different sources( other database, field tests, etc) and different formats( e.g. digital data, maps etc). A set of applications in the database were established to facilitate and ensure the correct data entry in accordance with existing international standards.

Antonio Simó Marfà Dr. Jesús Carrera Ramírez Tutor: Daniel Fernández García Onshore‐offshore architecture 3.4.2.2. Regional Depositional Package III Regional depositional package III displays a complex facies distribution. At the bottom of the package, III‐PAS1 overlies a sharp erosional surface (ES III) and shows a sheet‐shape geometry with constant and moderate thickness (less than 10 m) over the outer shelf and upper slope, the thickness decreasing significantly towards the Besòs delta area (fig. 3.11b). Roll‐over folds and growth faults are observed at the head of the Morràs canyon. III‐PAS1 appears truncated on the outer south shelf. Onshore, thickness map of regional package III shows a dramatic thickness decrease north of Morrot fault (fig. 3.11). III‐PAS1 correlates onshore with Fc‐Bg sedimentary facies, which displays an increase in thickness in the center of the delta plain (over 20m) and the margins (less than 20 m), interpreted as palaeochannels (fig. 3.10). Rw facies association above Fc‐Bg facies shows an important depocenter up to 30m thick in the southwest delta plain. Rw facies association grades seaward into a complex pattern of seismic units (fig. 3.11).
