Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Big Spring sheet Bouguer gravity Atlas of Texas, Big Spring sheet 1986

This folded transparent map is at the same scale as its corresponding Geologic Atlas of Texas (GAT) sheet and can be superimposed on it to compare gravity information with surface geology.

Regional cross sections of the Texas panhandle:  Precambrian to mid-Permian Regional cross sections of the Texas panhandle: Precambrian to mid-Permian 1981

The Texas Panhandle traditionally has been an important source of mineral resources, especially petroleum, and resources will continue to contribute heavily to the economy of the area. The seven cross sections of this report synthesize the subsurface geology of the region.

Basin morphological controls on submarine-fan depositional trends:  Spraberry Sandstone, Permian Basin, Texas Basin morphological controls on submarine-fan depositional trends: Spraberry Sandstone, Permian Basin, Texas 1997

The Leonardian Spraberry Formation is a major oil-producing formation of the Permian Basin, accounting for more than 700 million barrels of oil produced from heterogeneous submarine-fan reservoirs.

Depositional framework of the Lower Dockum Group (Triassic), Texas panhandle Depositional framework of the Lower Dockum Group (Triassic), Texas panhandle 1979

The Upper Triassic Dockum Group of Texas and New Mexico is composed of 200 to 2,000 feet of complexly interrelated terrigenous clastic facies ranging from mudstone to conglomerate.

Genesis and emplacement of oil in the San Andreas Formation, northern shelf of the Midland basin, Texas Genesis and emplacement of oil in the San Andreas Formation, northern shelf of the Midland basin, Texas 1982

San Andres oil constitutes more than 80 percent of the total production from the Northern Shelf of the Midland Basin, Texas.

Facies and stratigraphy of the San Andreas Formation, northern and northwestern shelves of the Midland basin, Texas and New Mexico Facies and stratigraphy of the San Andreas Formation, northern and northwestern shelves of the Midland basin, Texas and New Mexico 1982

The San Andres Formation on the Northern and Northwestern Shelves of the Midland Basin is a progradational stratigraphic unit consisting predominantly of carbonate facies. Lithofacies include dolomite, laminated anhydrite and dolomite, massive bedded anhydrite, limestone, salt, and red beds.

Hydrogeology and hydrochemistry of the Ogallala aquifer, southern High Plains, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico Hydrogeology and hydrochemistry of the Ogallala aquifer, southern High Plains, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico 1988

The Ogallala aquifer, which underlies the Southern High Plains, consists of the saturated sediments of the Neogene Ogallala Formation. The aquifer is the main source of water for the High Plains of Texas and New Mexico and is being severely depleted by extensive pumpage for irrigation.
