Reservoir Modeling of Restricted Platform Carbonates: Geologic/Geostatistical Characterization of Interwell-Scale Reservoir Heterogeneity, Dune Field, Crane County, Texas Reservoir Modeling of Restricted Platform Carbonates: Geologic/Geostatistical Characterization of Interwell-Scale Reservoir Heterogeneity, Dune Field, Crane County, Texas 1990

Petroleum reservoirs typically yield only a fraction of the oil initially in place because geologic heterogeneity causes incomplete drainage of oil.

Fogg, G.E., Lucia, F.J. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
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.

Comer, J.B. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Integrated characterization of Permian Basin reservoirs, university lands, West Texas:  targeting the remaining resource for advanced oil recovery Integrated characterization of Permian Basin reservoirs, university lands, West Texas: targeting the remaining resource for advanced oil recovery 1991

Unrecovered mobile oil is oil that is movable at reservoir conditions but is prevented from migrating to existing we1 l bores because of geologic complexities or heterogeneities.

Tyler, Noel, Bebout, D.G., Garrett, C.M., Jr., Guevara, E.H., Hocott, C.R., Holtz, M.H., Hovorka, S.D., Kerans, Charles Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Depositional and diagenetic facies patterns and reservoir development in Silurian and Devonian rocks of the Permian basin Depositional and diagenetic facies patterns and reservoir development in Silurian and Devonian rocks of the Permian basin 1994

Silurian and Devonian carbonate and chert rocks in the Permian Basin constitute a prolific hydrocarbon-bearing succession in West Texas and New Mexico.

Ruppel, S.C., Holtz, M.H. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
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.

Hentz, T.F., Ambrose, W.A., Hamlin, H.S. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Regional cross sections -- central basin platform, West Texas 1985

In 1982, the Bureau of Economic Geology initiated a project to characterize the major oil fields of Texas.
