Seismic analysis of the Duval County Ranch area, south Texas: assessment of exploration potential of the Wilcox, Queen City, and Jackson-Yegua plays Seismic analysis of the Duval County Ranch area, south Texas: assessment of exploration potential of the Wilcox, Queen City, and Jackson-Yegua plays 1995

Potential for commercial hydrocarbon accumulations in Eocene and older strata of the Duval County Ranch in South Texas was assessed using seismic data. Three seismic facies are recognized and tied to well control.

Increased Oil Recovery Potential from Barrier/Strandplain Reservoirs, Jackson-Yegua Trend, by Geologically Targeted Infill Drilling: Examples from Seventy-Six West and Colmena-Cedro Hill Fields, South Texas Increased Oil Recovery Potential from Barrier/Strandplain Reservoirs, Jackson-Yegua Trend, by Geologically Targeted Infill Drilling: Examples from Seventy-Six West and Colmena-Cedro Hill Fields, South Texas 1994

The Jackson-Yegua Barrier/Strandplain Sandstone play is a prolific oil-producing trend in South Texas that has high average porosity (31 percent) and permeability (600 md).

Depositional Environments of Unstable Shelf-Margin Deltas of the Oligocene Vicksburg Formation, McAllen Ranch Field, South Texas Depositional Environments of Unstable Shelf-Margin Deltas of the Oligocene Vicksburg Formation, McAllen Ranch Field, South Texas 1994

Cores and supporting petrophysical data from 20 wells in McAllen Ranch field were analyzed.

Depositional and ground-water flow systems of the Carrizo - Upper Wilcox, south Texas Depositional and ground-water flow systems of the Carrizo - Upper Wilcox, south Texas 1988

In the Rio Grande Embayment of South Texas, the Carrizo Formation (lower Eocene) consists of two sand-rich fluvial depositional systems that grade basinward into several deltaic complexes within the upper part of the Wilcox Group.

Depositional framework, hydrostratigraphy, and uranium mineralization of the Oakville Sandstone (Miocene), Texas coastal plain Depositional framework, hydrostratigraphy, and uranium mineralization of the Oakville Sandstone (Miocene), Texas coastal plain 1982

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.

Geochemistry of ground water in the Miocene Oakville Sandstone -- a major aquifer and uranium host of the Texas coastal plain Geochemistry of ground water in the Miocene Oakville Sandstone -- a major aquifer and uranium host of the Texas coastal plain 1982

The Oakville Sandstone is a major aquifer and a major host of uranium deposits in the Texas Coastal Plain.

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.

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.

Upper Tertiary and Quaternary depositional systems, central coastal plain, Texas -- regional geology of the coastal aquifer and potential liquid-waste repositories Upper Tertiary and Quaternary depositional systems, central coastal plain, Texas -- regional geology of the coastal aquifer and potential liquid-waste repositories 1981

Upper Miocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene deposits in the subsurface of the central Coastal Plain of Texas were subdivided into six operational units comprising the surface-defined Fleming, Goliad, Willis, Lissie, and Beaumont Formations.
