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 first in the series, the Atlas of Major Texas Gas Reservoirs, was published in 1989.

Plio-Pleistocene strata of offshore Texas having hydrocarbon exploration potential are restricted to the southeastern continental shelf and upper continental slope. This thick wedge of nearshore and deep-marine sediments firms the west margin of a late Neogene and Quaternary depocenter. The wedge is divided into eight genetic sequences on the basis of well logs, paleontological reports, and seismic profiles.
