Sequence Stratigraphy, Depositional Facies, and Reservoir Attributes of the Upper Cretaceous Woodbine Group, East Texas Field Sequence Stratigraphy, Depositional Facies, and Reservoir Attributes of the Upper Cretaceous Woodbine Group, East Texas Field 2010

Although the mature, supergiant East Texas field on the west flank of the Sabine Uplift has been producing from the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) siliciclastic Woodbine Group for more than 75 years, no modern comprehensive geologic study of it has been completed.

Fracture analysis of the Travis Peak Formation, western flank of the Sabine Arch, east Texas Fracture analysis of the Travis Peak Formation, western flank of the Sabine Arch, east Texas 1989

Successful development of low-permeability-sandstone gas reservoirs depends on an understandingof their natural fracture patterns and on predictions of the orientation of horizontal stresses.This report describes the preliminary results of fracture analysis of the Lower Cretaceous TravisPeak Form

Laubach, S.E. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Stochastic analysis of aquifer interconnectedness: Wilcox Group, Trawick area, east Texas Stochastic analysis of aquifer interconnectedness: Wilcox Group, Trawick area, east Texas 1989

Detailed characterization of the spatial distribution of hydraulic conductivity (K) by direct measurement is usually impractical.

Fogg, G.E. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Diagenesis and burial history of the Lower Cretaceous Travis Peak Formation, east Texas Diagenesis and burial history of the Lower Cretaceous Travis Peak Formation, east Texas 1987

Sandstone in the Travis Peak (Hosston) Formation has been extensively modified by burial diagenesis. Permeability in much of the formation has been reduced to less than 0.1 md as a result of compaction, extensive precipitation of authigenic minerals, and minor pressure solution.

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.

Observations from the east Texas seismic network (June 1981 - August 1982) Observations from the east Texas seismic network (June 1981 - August 1982) 1984

Several microearthquake recording stations were operated as a network in the East Texas Basin beginning in June 1981. At least six certain and two probable earthquakes as well as hundreds of events of undetermined origin were recorded through August 1982.

Sedimentary record of Cretaceous and Tertiary salt movement, east Texas basin: times, rates, and volumes of salt flow and their implications for nuclear waste isolation and petroleum exploration Sedimentary record of Cretaceous and Tertiary salt movement, east Texas basin: times, rates, and volumes of salt flow and their implications for nuclear waste isolation and petroleum exploration 1984

Post-Aptian strata (younger than 112 ma) in the East Texas Basin were strongly influenced by halokinesis and recorded the evolution associated sate structures.

Regional aquifer characterization for deep-basin lignite mining, Sabine uplift area, northeast Texas Regional aquifer characterization for deep-basin lignite mining, Sabine uplift area, northeast Texas 1983

Lignite deeper than 200 ft (61 m) constitutes about 60 percent of the total lignite resources in Texas. Projections indicate that meeting future demand will require mining this deep-basin lignite.

Depositional systems in the Nacatoch Formation (Upper Cretaceous), northeast Texas and southwest Arkansas Depositional systems in the Nacatoch Formation (Upper Cretaceous), northeast Texas and southwest Arkansas 1983

The Nacatoch Formation of the East Texas Basin is the middle formation of the Navarro Group and consists of marine sandstones and mudstones derived largely from source areas to the northwest, north, and northeast of the East Texas Embayment.
