Fluvial and eolian depositional systems, paleosols, and paleoclimate of the Upper Cenozoic Ogallala and Blackwater Draw Formations, southern High Plains, Texas and New Mexico Fluvial and eolian depositional systems, paleosols, and paleoclimate of the Upper Cenozoic Ogallala and Blackwater Draw Formations, southern High Plains, Texas and New Mexico 1996

This report summarizes results of a study based on outcrop and subsurface data that establishes a regional stratigraphic framework for assessments of the Ogallala and related aquifers.

Controls on reservoir heterogeneity in Permian shallow-water-platform carbonate reservoirs, Permian Basin: implications for improved recovery Controls on reservoir heterogeneity in Permian shallow-water-platform carbonate reservoirs, Permian Basin: implications for improved recovery 1995

Shallow-water-platform carbonate reservoirs of Permian age have accounted for more than half of the oil production in the Permian Basin, one of the largest oil-producing regions in the United States.

Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) in Produced Water and Scale from Texas Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Wells Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) in Produced Water and Scale from Texas Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Wells 1995

Water produced from oil, gas, and geothermal reservoirs contains natural radioactivity that ranges from background levels to levels found in uranium mill tailings.

Geothermal and heavy-oil resources in Texas: direct use of geothermal fluids to enhance recovery of heavy oil Geothermal and heavy-oil resources in Texas: direct use of geothermal fluids to enhance recovery of heavy oil 1993

In a five-county area of South Texas, geopressured-geothermal reservoirs in the Paleocene-Eocene Wilcox Group lie below medium- to heavy-oil reservoirs in the Eocene Jackson Group. This fortuitous association suggests the use of geothermal fluids for thermally enhanced oil recovery (TEOR).
