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.

Hentz, T.F. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
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.

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.

Cotton Valley (Upper Jurassic) and Hosston (Lower Cretaceous) depositional systems and their influence on salt tectonics in the east Texas basin Cotton Valley (Upper Jurassic) and Hosston (Lower Cretaceous) depositional systems and their influence on salt tectonics in the east Texas basin 1984

Correct interpretation of the effect of basin infilling on salt mobilization is critical to understanding salt dome growth and stability. The size of salt structures in the East Texas Basin is determined by the original thickness of the underlying Louann Salt (Middle Jurassic).

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.

McGowan, M.K., Lopez, C.M. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Ground-water hydraulics and hydrochemical facies in Eocene aquifers of the east Texas basin Ground-water hydraulics and hydrochemical facies in Eocene aquifers of the east Texas basin 1982

Eocene stratigraphic units in the East Texas Basin are composed of a thick sedimentary sequence (approximately 2,000 ft [600 m]) of fresh-water aquifers and aquitards covering an area of approximately 15,000 mi2 (51,000 km2).

Fogg, G.E., Kreitler, C.W. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
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.

Regional structural cross sections and general stratigraphy, east Texas basin Regional structural cross sections and general stratigraphy, east Texas basin 1981

Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Tertiary sediments in the East Texas Basin have been structurally modified by movement of Middle Jurassic Louann Salt.

Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1980) Geology and geohydrology of the east Texas basin -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1980) 1981

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
