Regional and Local Variability in Lowstand Valley Fill and Deltaic Deposits in the Tannehill Sandstone (Cisco Group), Eastern Shelf of the Permian Basin Regional and Local Variability in Lowstand Valley Fill and Deltaic Deposits in the Tannehill Sandstone (Cisco Group), Eastern Shelf of the Permian Basin 2024

Lowstand valley fill and shelf-edge deltaic deposits in the Tannehill sandstone (Wolfcampian Cisco Group) in the Eastern Shelf of the Permian Basin are major targets for oil and gas exploration.

Facies variability and geologic controls on reservoir heterogeneity in deepwater slope reservoirs in the Pennsylvanian Cisco Group, Lake Trammel South field, Nolan County, Texas Facies variability and geologic controls on reservoir heterogeneity in deepwater slope reservoirs in the Pennsylvanian Cisco Group, Lake Trammel South field, Nolan County, Texas 2022

Deepwater slope deposits in the Virgilian- Wolfcampian Cisco Group in Lake Trammel South field in Nolan County, Texas, have produced oil and gas since the early 1950’s. Nevertheless, the field and adjacent areas have the potential for additional development.
