Increased Oil Recovery Potential from Barrier/Strandplain Reservoirs, Jackson-Yegua Trend, by Geologically Targeted Infill Drilling: Examples from Seventy-Six West and Colmena-Cedro Hill Fields, South Texas Increased Oil Recovery Potential from Barrier/Strandplain Reservoirs, Jackson-Yegua Trend, by Geologically Targeted Infill Drilling: Examples from Seventy-Six West and Colmena-Cedro Hill Fields, South Texas 1994

The Jackson-Yegua Barrier/Strandplain Sandstone play is a prolific oil-producing trend in South Texas that has high average porosity (31 percent) and permeability (600 md).

Depositional and ground-water flow systems of the Carrizo - Upper Wilcox, south Texas Depositional and ground-water flow systems of the Carrizo - Upper Wilcox, south Texas 1988

In the Rio Grande Embayment of South Texas, the Carrizo Formation (lower Eocene) consists of two sand-rich fluvial depositional systems that grade basinward into several deltaic complexes within the upper part of the Wilcox Group.

Hamlin, H.S. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Depositional systems and oil and gas plays in the Cretaceous Olmos Formation, south Texas Depositional systems and oil and gas plays in the Cretaceous Olmos Formation, south Texas 1986

The Upper Cretaceous Olmos Formation in South Texas continues to be an active exploration target 60 years after oil was first discovered in this clastic assemblage. The shallow, oil-bearing formation was deposited on a broad, wave-influenced shelf. Sand accumulated in two depocenters.

Tyler, Noel, Ambrose, W.A. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Depositional and diagenetic history of the Sligo and Hosston Formations(Lower Cretaceous) in south Texas Depositional and diagenetic history of the Sligo and Hosston Formations(Lower Cretaceous) in south Texas 1981

The Sligo and Hosston Formations of Aptian age occur over thousands of square miles in the subsurface of South Texas.

Smackover and lower Buckner Formations, south Texas:  depositional systems on a Jurassic carbonate ramp Smackover and lower Buckner Formations, south Texas: depositional systems on a Jurassic carbonate ramp 1981

The Smackover and lower part of the Buckner Formations (Oxfordian) comprise a thick regressive sedimentary sequence deposited on a Jurassic carbonate ramp. Four major depositional systems are recognized: (1) basinal, (2) low-energy open shelf, (3) high-energy shoal, and (4) sabkha.

Budd, D.A., Loucks, R.G. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
Structural cross sections, Tertiary formations, Texas Gulf Coast Structural cross sections, Tertiary formations, Texas Gulf Coast 1981

The publication comprises 24 structural dip cross sections, spaced 15 to 20 mi apart along the Texas coast, and 4 structural strike cross sections. Dip sections extend from near the Wilcox outcrop to the coastline.

Wave-dominated delta systems of the Upper Cretaceous San Miguel Formation, Maverick Basin, south Texas Wave-dominated delta systems of the Upper Cretaceous San Miguel Formation, Maverick Basin, south Texas 1980

Upward-coarsening sandstone units of the Upper Cretaceous San Miguel Formation in South Texas were deposited in wave-dominated deltas during minor regressive phases, periodically interrupting a major marine transgression.

Weise, B.R. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
South Texas uranium province: geology and extraction 1976

The increasing demand for uranium combined with the improving economics of uranium production have resulted in a significant upsurge in exploration and mining efforts in the South Texas Coastal Plain uranium province. Texas ranks third in U.S. uranium production.
