Considerations in the extraction of uranium from a fresh-water aquifer -- Miocene Oakville Sandstone, south Texas Considerations in the extraction of uranium from a fresh-water aquifer -- Miocene Oakville Sandstone, south Texas 1982

The Miocene Oakville Sandstone is a major aquifer and uranium host beneath the Texas Coastal Plain. In 1976, approximately 6,000 acre-ft of ground water were withdrawn from the Oakville for municipal use.

The Oakville Sandstone (Miocene) of the Texas Coastal Plain comprises a major sand-rich fluvial system composed of deposits of several major and minor rivers that originated within Texas and surrounding states.

Epigenetic zonation and fluid flow history of uranium-bearing fluvial aquifer systems, south Texas uranium province Epigenetic zonation and fluid flow history of uranium-bearing fluvial aquifer systems, south Texas uranium province 1982

The Oligocene-Miocene fluvial uranium host aquifers of the South Texas uranium province were deposited principally as syndepositionally oxidized sands and muds.

Regional hydrodynamics and hydrochemistry of the uranium-bearing Oakville aquifer (Miocene) of south Texas Regional hydrodynamics and hydrochemistry of the uranium-bearing Oakville aquifer (Miocene) of south Texas 1982

The Oakville Formation consists of sediments deposited by several major fluvial systems that traversed the Texas Coastal Plain during the Miocene Epoch.

Importance of Secondary Leached Porosity in Lower Tertiary Sandstone Reservoirs along the Texas Gulf Coast Importance of Secondary Leached Porosity in Lower Tertiary Sandstone Reservoirs along the Texas Gulf Coast 1980

Secondary leached porosity is common to dominant in near surface to deep subsurface lower Tertiary sandstone reservoirs along the Texas Gulf Coast. This secondary porosity is in the form of leached feldspar grains, volcanic rock fragments, carbonate cements, and carbonate-replaced grains.

Catahoula Formation of the Texas coastal plain: origin, geochemical evolution, and characteristics of uranium deposits Catahoula Formation of the Texas coastal plain: origin, geochemical evolution, and characteristics of uranium deposits 1980

The Catahoula Formation is composed of ancient fluvial sediments that controlled a wide range of water/sediment interactions responsible for uranium mobilization, transportation, and concentration.
