Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian Shelf-to-Basin Facies Architecture and Trends, Eastern Shelf of the Southern Midland Basin, West Texas Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian Shelf-to-Basin Facies Architecture and Trends, Eastern Shelf of the Southern Midland Basin, West Texas 2017

Our study documents the shelf, shelf-edge, slope, and basin-floor depositional facies characteristics, stratigraphic variations, and sedimentation trends of the Missourian Canyon Group and Virgilian–Wolfcampian Cisco Group across the southern Eastern Shelf and the adjacent Midland Basin.

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.

Stratigraphic analysis of the Upper Devonian Woodford Formation, Permian Basin, West Texas and southeastern New Mexico Stratigraphic analysis of the Upper Devonian Woodford Formation, Permian Basin, West Texas and southeastern New Mexico 1991

The Upper Devonian Woodford Formation is an organic-rich petroleum source rock that extends throughout West Texas and southeastern New Mexico and currently is generating oil or gas in the subsurface.

Regional depositional systems tracts, paleogeography, and sequence stratigraphy, Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian strata, north- and west-central Texas Regional depositional systems tracts, paleogeography, and sequence stratigraphy, Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian strata, north- and west-central Texas 1990

Sixteen depositional sequences, commonly called cyclothems, each composed mostly of limestone(retrogradational/transgressive) and siliciclastic (progradational/regressive) subsequences, or systems tracts, record the paleogeography during Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian Epoch) and Early Permian (Wol

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.

Regional stratigraphic cross sections, Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian strata (Virgilian and Wolfcampian Series), north-central Texas 1987

This cross section set comprises 14 dip (E-W) sections and 9 strike (N-S) stratigraphic cross sections (with text), correlating upper Pennsylvanian (Virgilian) and lower Permian (Wolfcampian) strata throughout the subsurface in all or parts of 28 counties of North-Central Texas.

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.

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.
