Identification and assessment of remaining oil resources in the Frio fluvial-deltaic sandstone play, south Texas Identification and assessment of remaining oil resources in the Frio fluvial-deltaic sandstone play, south Texas 1995

The Frio Fluvial-Deltaic Sandstone (Vicksburg Fault Zone) play of South Texas has produced nearly 1 billion barrels (Bbbl) of oil since field development began in the 1940's.

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.

Quantifying secondary gas resources in fluvial/deltaic reservoirs:  a case history from Stratton field, south Texas Quantifying secondary gas resources in fluvial/deltaic reservoirs: a case history from Stratton field, south Texas 1994

Geologic and engineering studies were conducted within fluvial/deltaic strata of a mature South Texas field to determine the impact of reservoir compartmentalization on secondary gas recovery. Stratton is one of several mature South Texas fields containing fluvial and deltaic gas reservoirs.

Gas reservoir quality variations and implications for resource development, Frio Formation, south Texas:  examples from Seeligson and Stratton fields Gas reservoir quality variations and implications for resource development, Frio Formation, south Texas: examples from Seeligson and Stratton fields 1993

Discovery of volcanic glass detritus in fluvial deposits of the middle Frio Formation (Seeligson and Stratton fields) of South Texas has resulted in a new classification of reservoir types (type I and type II) within this formation.

Core and Log Analyses of Depositional Systems and Reservoir Properties ... in Frio, Vicksburg, and Wilcox Sandstones Core and Log Analyses of Depositional Systems and Reservoir Properties ... in Frio, Vicksburg, and Wilcox Sandstones 1992

The Gas Research Institute, U.S. Department of Energy, and the State of Texas cooperated in joint-venture research to evaluate the infield reserve growth potential of mature gas fields containing conventional reservoirs.

Shoreline and vegetation-line movement, Texas Gulf coast, 1974 to 1982 Shoreline and vegetation-line movement, Texas Gulf coast, 1974 to 1982 1989

The purposes of this study were (1) to quantify recent (1974 to 1982) movement of Texas shorelines and vegetation lines by analysis of aerial photographs; (2) to place this movement in historical (pre-1974) context; and (3) to examine the influence of environmental variables such as storms, sea l

Submerged lands of Texas, Kingsville area:  sediments, geochemistry, benthic macroinvertebrates, and associated wetlands Submerged lands of Texas, Kingsville area: sediments, geochemistry, benthic macroinvertebrates, and associated wetlands 1989

The State-owned submerged lands of Texas encompass almost 6,000 mi2 (15,540 km2). They lie below waters of the bay-estuary-lagoon system and the Gulf of Mexico and extend 10.3 mi (16.6 km) seaward from the Gulf shoreline (fig. 1).

Hydrocarbon production and exploration potential of the distal Frio Formation, Texas Gulf coast and offshore Hydrocarbon production and exploration potential of the distal Frio Formation, Texas Gulf coast and offshore 1989

Along the Texas Gulf shoreline and offshore, the distal margin of the Frio Formation is a deep hydrocarbon province that is underexplored relative to the onshore Frio.
