Composition of fluid inclusions from the cave-in-rock bedded-replacement fluorite deposits in the Illinois-Kentucky district
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)The stable mid-continent platform of North America hosts some of the greatest known concentrations of Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) mineralization in the world. Most of the mineralization occurs between two major physiographic ... -
Evaluation of solitary waves as a mechanism for oil transport in elastic porous media : a case study of the south Eugene Island field, Gulf of Mexico basin
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)Hydrocarbons in shallow (< 1 km depth) Pleistocene sand reservoirs of the Eugene Island 330 field in the northern Gulf of Mexico basin are thought to have originated from Early Tertiary source sediments at depths of about ... -
Evaluation of the geologic CO[subscript 2]sequestration potential of the Morrow B sandstone in the Farnsworth, Texas hydrocarbon field using reactive transport modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)The objectives of this research were to examine the long term fate of CO[subscript 2] injected into the Morrow B Sandstone, a hydrocarbon reservoir in the Farnsworth Unit in northern Texas. A suite of numerical multiphase ... -
Fluid inclusion evidence for the temperature and composition of ore fluids in the Lemhi Pass and diamond Creek Ree-Th districts, Idaho-Montana
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)The Lemhi Pass district is the largest thorium (Th) and 5th largest rare earth element (REE) occurrence in the U.S., straddling the continental divide along the central Idaho-Montana border. The Diamond Creek district, ... -
Fluorine concentrations of ore fluids in the Illinois-Kentucky district : evidence from SEM-EDS analysis of fluid inclusion decrepitates
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)The Illinois-Kentucky district is an atypical occurrence of Mississippi Valley-type (MVT) mineralization that consists predominantly of fluorite rather than metal sulfide minerals. A long-standing assumption for the ... -
Geochemistry and reaction path modeling of the Beowawe hydrothermal system, Nevada : a barren end-member epithermal system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The Beowawe geothermal area is manifested by numerous hot springs, fumaroles, and before the installation of an electric power plant, spectacular geysers. Beowawe also bears many geologic similarities to ancient epithermal ... -
Hydrology of the Forest City Basin, mid-continent, USA : implications for CO2 sequestration in the St. Peter sandstone
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)The purpose of this research was to perform a preliminary assessment of the stratigraphy, storage capacity, hydrology and mineraology of this basin to determine its suitability and structural trapping capacity for geologic ... -
Numerical modeling of CO2-water-rock interactions in the Farnsworth, Texas Hydrocarbon Unit, USA
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Numerical speciation, reaction path, and reactive transport modeling were used to evaluate potential for long-term CO2 sequestration in Farnsworth Hydrocarbon Unit in northern Texas. Speciation modeling showed the present ... -
Prediction of Mississippi-Valley type ore fluid metal concentrations from solid solution metal concentrations in ore-stage minerals
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)Mississippi-Valley-type (MVT) deposits have some of the greatest enrichments of Pb, Zn, Ba, and F in the Earth's crust. Fundamental to understanding how these elements were transported and precipitated to form MVT deposits ...
