The Atlas of Major Central and Eastern Gulf Coast Gas Reservoirs is the second in a series compiling geologic and engineering data on natural gas reservoirs in the major gas-producing regions of the United States.
The 37-Ma-old Infiernito caldera of the northern Chinati Mountains is a major eruptive center of the mid-Tertiary volcanic field of Trans-Pecos Texas. Volcanism in the Chinati Mountains began with eruption of a sequence of rhyolitic to trachytic lavas, the precollapse lavas.

A waterflood was begun in 1985 in Taylor-Link West San Andres unit (10 million barrels cumulative production) on the south margin of the Central Basin Platform to capture a remaining mobile oil target estimated at 20 million barrels.
Grabens overlying diapirs have previously been ascribed to intrusion, withdrawal, or dissolution of salt. We propose, however, that many grabens or half grabens above diapirs form by regional thin-skinned extension of a brittle overburden.
