Depositional systems and hydrocarbon resource potential of the Pennsylvanian system, Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins, Texas panhandle Depositional systems and hydrocarbon resource potential of the Pennsylvanian system, Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins, Texas panhandle 1980

Pennsylvanian clastic and carbonate strata were deposited in a variety of environments within the Palo Duro Basin. Maximum accumulation (totaling 750 m or 2,400 ft) occurred along a northwest-southeast axis.

Facies patterns and depositional history of a Permian Sabkha complex -- Red Cave Formation, Texas panhandle Facies patterns and depositional history of a Permian Sabkha complex -- Red Cave Formation, Texas panhandle 1980

The Red Cave Formation (Permian, Leonard Series) in the Texas Panhandle consists of cyclic, red-bed clastic and carbonate-evaporite members that reflect deposition in extensive coastal sabkhas.

Petroleum source rock potential and thermal maturity, Palo Duro basin, Texas Petroleum source rock potential and thermal maturity, Palo Duro basin, Texas 1980

Samples collected from 20 geographically widespread wells in the sparsely drilled Palo Duro Basin were analyzed for total organic carbon content (TOC). Highest values of TOC, up to 6.9 percent, occur in Upper Permian San Andres dolomite in the southern part of the basin.

Climatic controls on erosion in the rolling plains and along the Caprock Escarpment of the Texas panhandle Climatic controls on erosion in the rolling plains and along the Caprock Escarpment of the Texas panhandle 1980

The climate of the Texas Panhandle is primarily semiarid continental, exhibiting a pronounced peak in precipitation during the months of May through July.

Tansill, Salado, and Alibates Formations: Upper Permian evaporite/carbonate strata of the Texas panhandle Tansill, Salado, and Alibates Formations: Upper Permian evaporite/carbonate strata of the Texas panhandle 1981

The Salado-Tansill and Alibates Formations are the youngest evaporite and carbonate facies within a thick Permian sequence of evaporites, carbonates, and red beds in the Texas Panhandle.
