Water Beings and Capitalist Relations in India's Sundarbans Delta

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores entanglements between water cosmologies and capitalist transformation in the Sundarbans delta of West Bengal, India. It traces how “awakened” tidal creeks have been iteratively enclosed as private fisheries from the colonial period to the present, with particular focus on the expansion of commercial aquaculture over the ...

Interpretation of Sand Body Architecture in Complex Fault Block Area of Craton Basin: Case Study of TIII in Sangtamu Area, Tarim Basin

Energies, 2023
The complex fault block oilfields in the craton basin contain vast reserves of oil and gas resources. During the development of an oilfield, the flow of oil, gas, and water, is controlled by faults and configuration boundaries.

Refining the timing of Middle Pleistocene (MIS 12 to MIS 6) ice advances into northern central Europe: sedimentological analysis and single‐grain luminescence dating of glaciotectonic complexes and tunnel‐valley fills

Boreas, EarlyView.
We summarize the current state of knowledge on the age of the Middle Pleistocene ice advances into northern central Europe and provide 25 new single‐grain feldspar luminescence ages of Elsterian and Saalian glacigenic sediments to constrain the age of the ice advances and their tentative correlation with marine isotope stages/substages.

Sedimentary microfacies of Member 5 of Xujiahe Formation in the Dongfengchang area, Sichuan Basin

Petroleum Research
Member 5 of the Upper Triassic Xujiahe Formation (T3X5) in central Sichuan Basin has made a breakthrough in exploration recently. However, this new stratum has not been investigated sufficiently with respect to basic geology, making its types and ...

Densification mechanism of deep low-permeability sandstone reservoir in deltaic depositional setting and its implications for resource development: A case study of the Paleogene reservoirs in Gaoshangpu area of Nanpu sag, China

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
A better understanding of reservoir densification mechanisms is very important for petroleum exploration and controlling the reservoir quality distribution in low-permeability reservoirs.

Evolution, Routing and Reservoir Characteristics of Submarine Channels in a Structurally Deforming Slope Setting: Deep‐Water Joint Development Zone of Nigeria and São Tomé and Príncipe

Journal of Petroleum Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deep‐water slope channels and associated facies are a major part of clastic sediment dispersal system extending from the shelf‐edge to the abyssal plain. The toe‐thrust area of the deep‐water Niger Delta enables the analysis of these channels and their interaction with evolving fault‐controlled sea‐floor topography to be determined ...

Study on sedimentary model of Shanxi Formation – Lower Shihezi Formation in Da 17 well area of Daniudi gas field, Ordos Basin

Open Geosciences
The Daniudi gas field in the Ordos Basin is a significant area for developing tight sandstone gas reservoirs in China. This study focuses on the Permian Shanxi and Lower Shihezi formations in the Da 17 well area, analyzing sedimentary model through ...

High and dry: the persistence of diverse coastal marsh communities depends on available upland area and connection to surrounding waters

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sea‐level‐rise and alterations to natural hydrology have contributed to coastal land loss. To combat coastal land loss and maintain the ecosystem services provided by marshes, marsh creation has been broadly implemented. Marsh creation projects can be performed in conjunction with the construction of elevated terrestrial ridges that seek to mimic ...

Hydrologic effects of tidal wetland restoration in the subsided Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta, California, United States

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration project in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta involves flooding of delta lands; however, concerns have been raised that such flooding will increase the hydraulic pressures on subsided adjacent islands and threaten levee stability.

Sedimentary microfacies and palaeogeomorphology as well as their controls on gas accumulation within the deep-buried Cretaceous in Kuqa Depression, Tarim Basin, China

Journal of Natural Gas Geoscience, 2016
The gas and oil exploration in Kuqa Depression has entered the deep-buried and ultra-deep areas below 5000 m. This paper represents the systematic research accomplished which included microfacies observation and sandstone modeling in the outcrop, the ...
