Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1979) Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1979) 1980

Analysis during the second year was highlighted by a historical characterization of East Texas Basin infilling, the development of a model to explain the growth history of the domes, the continued studies of the Quaternary in East Texas, and a better understanding of the near-dome and regional hy

The third year of research was highlighted by the integration of regional basinal studies with growth histories for specific domes, studies of cap-rock diagenesis and salt deformation, preliminary studies of ground-water flow and geochemistry around Oakwood Dome, and preliminary studies of micros

Fault tectonics of the east Texas basin Fault tectonics of the east Texas basin 1982

Principal fault systems in the East Texas Basin were examined in terms of their distribution, geometry, displacement history, and possible origins.

Hydrocarbon accumulation patterns in the east Texas salt dome province Hydrocarbon accumulation patterns in the east Texas salt dome province 1982

Mobilization of the Louann Salt created the present structural configuration in the central part of the East Texas Basin and was the major control on hydrocarbon accumulation in the area. Salt-cored anticlines, turtle-structure anticlines, and salt diapirs were produced by flow of salt.

Suitability of salt domes in the east Texas basin for nuclear waste isolation:  final summary of geologic and hydrologic research (1978 to 1983) Suitability of salt domes in the east Texas basin for nuclear waste isolation: final summary of geologic and hydrologic research (1978 to 1983) 1984

This report summarizes results of the East Texas Waste Isolation (ETWI) program from January 1, 1978, to March 30, 1983. Having an extensive data base, the study comprised 33 different lines of research by 67 scientists and research assistants.
