Characterizing Multiscale Geometry, Anisotropic Behaviors, Bulk Properties, And Wettability Of The Woodford Shale, Pratap Bohara

Graduate Student Council Research Grants

Overview: I am Pratap Bohara--a fourth year PhD student in the Department of Geology and Geological Engineering at the University of Mississippi. I define myself as a dedicated research fellow with more than seven years of experience in the field of Geology and Geological Engineering. The proposed study will integrate geology, geochemistry, and surface chemistry to advance understanding of oil and gas behavior within the Woodford Shale of Oklahoma.

Intellectual Merit: Although this unit has abundant kerogen, total organic carbon (TOC), a high hydrogen index (HI), a low oxygen index (OI), and is thermally mature seemingly making reservoir economic but …
