The Wilcox Group and Carrizo Sand (Paleogene) in east-central Texas: depositional systems and deep-basin lignite | 1985 | Ayers Jr., W.B., Lewis, A.H., Bissett, F.H., Mazza, D.B., Prouty, D.A., Reutter, D.C., Sutley, A.M. | Geological Folios | Bureau of Economic Geology | |
|
Lignite resources in Texas | 1980 | Texas lignite occurs in three Eocene (lower Tertiary) geologic units--the Wilcox Group, Jackson Group, and Yegua Formation--and in three ancient depositional systems--fluvial, deltaic, and strandplain/lagoonal. |
Kaiser, W.R., Ayers Jr., W.B., La Brie, L.W. | Report of Investigations | Bureau of Economic Geology |

Estimation of coal resources in Texas Gulf Coast, Ohio northern Appalachian, and Wyoming Powder River Basins: a comparison of statistical approaches | 1983 | Official estimates of United States coal resources published during the past 15 years vary from less than 1.5 to 3.5 trillion metric tons (1.7 to 3.9 trillion short tons). These differences imply that a high degree of uncertainty exists in resource assessment. |

An Assessment of the Natural Gas Resource Base of the United States | 1988 | Natural gas in the United States consists of proved reserves in known reservoirs, of inferred reserves and undeveloped resources within these reservoirs, and of undiscovered resources. |

Plio-Pleistocene genetic sequences of the southwestern Louisiana continental shelf and slope: geologic framework, sedimentary facies, and hydrocarbon distribution | 1992 | The Plio-Pleistocene hydrocarbon fairway of offshore western Louisiana is restricted to the outer continental shelf and upper continental slope where a thick wedge of nearshore and deep-marine sediments was deposited. |

(Copublished with Colorado Geological Survey). Coalbed Methane in the Upper Cretaceous Fruitland Formation, San Juan Basin, New Mexico and Colorado | 1994 | Coalbed methane is playing an increasingly important role in meeting the energy needs of the United States. According to one estimate, this unconventional gas may supply 4-5% of the domestic natural gas in 1994. |
