Geologic map that depicts the surface geology of Loving, Crane, and Ward Counties and parts of Ector, Midland, Upton, Pecos, Reeves, Crockett, and Winkler Counties, Texas. The 5-page booklet indicates geologic formations, abbreviations, and ages.

Sand dunes at Monahans Sandhills State Park display a variety of dune forms that develop under a unique trimodal wind regime. Large expanses of unvegetated sand form akle dunes having reversing slip faces.

A multidisciplinary reservoir-characterization study of the Ellenburger Group was conducted over a 176-mi2 3-D seismic grid in Pecos, Reeves, and Ward Counties in the southern Delaware Basin of West Texas.

The geographic distribution, lithology, thickness, and paleontology of the subsurface Woodford in the Permian basin are described and illustrated.

Studies of physiographic relations and of fossil molluscan faunas made in the Pecos River valley region (Val Verde County to the Texas�New Mexico border) reveal extensive, well-pedimented surfaces southwest of the river extending from the Davis Mountains to near the present channel.

The Upper Triassic Dockum Group of Texas and New Mexico is composed of 200 to 2,000 feet of complexly interrelated terrigenous clastic facies ranging from mudstone to conglomerate.

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.

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

This report combines borehole core and geophysical log study with porosity and permeability data to define patterns of facies and permeability distribution in a typical upper Clear Fork reservoir in the Permian Basin.

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