Summary: By integrating various methods in a study of Paleozoic and Triassic reservoir sandstones from the Ghadames-Illizi Basin, potential thermal effects on the pore network modifying diagenetic events were explored. Results suggest that a Tertiary heating overprint, particularly an Early Tertiary thermal event, better explains the data collected, significantly impacting the calculated age of cements precipitation in the studied reservoir rocks.

Summary: The interplay between late Paleozoic tectonics at the marginal and intraplate regions of southeastern Laurentia is a subject of debate. This study focuses on the analysis of the Southern Oklahoma Transpressional System (SOTS), a fault zone that extends from the southeastern Laurentian margin into the plate interior. The researchers utilize sedimentary thickness maps and seismic reflection data to reveal the kinematics and driving mechanisms behind the SOTS fault zones.

Summary: The study presents a sequence stratigraphic interpretation of subsurface data in a Lower Carboniferous lagoon setting in the northern boundary zone of the Precaspian Basin. The proposed model enables the reconstruction of relative sea-level history and refines the understanding of geological evolution and eustatic changes in the Caspi region during the Lower Carboniferous. The article highlights the formation of semicircular carbonate mounds in the Devonian period that enclosed a lagoon opening towards the Caspi Sea, emphasizing the significance of sea-level changes and sediment distribution within the lagoon.

Summary: The Ogaden Basin in Ethiopia is a large sedimentary basin with significant potential for hydrocarbon resources. Previous studies have mainly focused on the sedimentology and lithostratigraphy of the basin, while this study provides an integrated sequence stratigraphic analysis of the Karoo section using seismic reflection and well data. The study suggests that tectonic control plays a major role in the formation of the basin and the distribution of reservoirs.

Summary: This study investigates the evolution of depositional environments in the Late Pennsylvanian-early Permian of the Paradox Basin in Utah, USA, through detailed sedimentological and high-resolution sequence stratigraphic analyses. The study aims to define a model of landscape evolution, discuss the stratigraphic model, and evaluate the significance of cyclicity in the paleoclimatic context. The findings reveal complex interactions between aeolian, fluvial, and marine environments in the Permian succession of the Paradox Basin, and highlight the importance of high-resolution stratigraphic analyses in understanding cyclicity in the Late Paleozoic Ice Age paleoclimatic context.

Summary: This study investigates the characteristics and evolution of fluvial-deltaic depositional systems in the Pearl River Mouth Basin, finding that the paleo-Pearl River transported a large amount of sediments to the northwest of the basin during the early Miocene, resulting in the formation of a large-scale river-delta depositional system. This system was mainly controlled by sea level change, tectonic subsidence, and sediment supply.

Summary: Improved understanding and prediction of petroleum expulsion, retention, and producibility from source rocks in the Lower Vaca Muerta Formation in the Neuquén Basin, Argentina were achieved through the integration of 3D basin modeling with customized compositional kinetics and retention modeling. The modeling results demonstrate basin-wide petroleum expulsion starting in the late Cretaceous and ceasing in the mid-Eocene, with different types of expulsion occurring at different thermal maturity levels, leading to changes in rock properties and petroleum composition.

Summary: Machine learning methods were used to classify electrofacies in the paleokarst reservoirs of the Tarim Basin Ordovician strata. An electrofacies-lithology database was established, and a prediction model was built with a 92.2% accuracy rate for automatically identifying electrofacies in carbonate strata. This approach could improve exploration efficiency and reduce economic costs in the Tarim Basin and similar paleokarst reservoirs.

Summary: The Aquifer-CO2 Leak project aims to study the migration of carbon dioxide in aquifers and test CO2 monitoring equipment. The experiment will be conducted in an underground limestone quarry in France, with successful estimation of experiment parameters through numerical simulations. Sensitivity analysis identified water table level and dispersivity as the most sensitive parameters.

Summary: An experimental leak simulation was conducted to investigate the effects of CO2 injection on a shallow carbonated aquifer. The results showed that dissolved CO2 led to the dissolution of calcite and desorption of iron oxides, resulting in increased concentrations of trace elements in the water. However, the aquifer showed strong resilience and buffering capacity, with concentrations returning to initial levels relatively quickly.

Summary: This study conducted a spatial assessment and mapping of flood hazards in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis (STM) of Ghana using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and geographical information system. The results indicate that about 12% of STM lands are in very high flood zones and 24% are in high flood zones. The lower portions of STM are identified as the most susceptible to inundation. These findings provide valuable insights for effective flood planning and prevention in STM.

Summary: The carbonatites from the Richat dome in Mauritania are unique and underdocumented geological features. This study provides insight into the mineralogy and petrogenesis of the carbonatites, revealing three identified types and their association with spinel-bearing peridotite. The geochemical characteristics of the Richat carbonatites are similar to other Cretaceous alkaline carbonatite occurrences in different regions, suggesting a common geological process. The reactivation of a deep pan-African lineament is considered a fundamental factor in the formation of the Richat carbonatites.

Summary: Twenty-one gastropod species have been identified in the Cenomanian deposits of Bellezma-Aures mountains, eastern Saharan Atlas, Algeria, with four of them recorded for the first time in the Batna mountains. These gastropods are mainly found in the 'Marnes de Smail' Formation, and their community changes may be attributed to minor sea-level fluctuations, sedimentation rate variations, and hydrodynamics. The paleobiogeographic distribution of these gastropod assemblages indicates a tethyan affinity and faunal exchange during that time interval.
