Geothermal resources of Texas, 1982 Geothermal resources of Texas, 1982 1982

This public-oriented user map shows the generalized extent of geothermal aquifers in Texas. It includes locations and tabular data for selected wells that have representative temperatures and water-quality attributes of the various aquifers.

Wilcox Sandstone reservoirs in the deep subsurface along the Texas Gulf Coast -- their potential for production of geopressured geothermal energy Wilcox Sandstone reservoirs in the deep subsurface along the Texas Gulf Coast -- their potential for production of geopressured geothermal energy 1982

Regional studies of the lower Eocene Wilcox Group in Texas were conducted to assess the potential for producing heat energy and solution methane from geopressured fluids in the deep-subsurface growth-faulted zone.

Frio Formation of the Texas Gulf Coast basin -- depositional systems, structural framework, and hydrocarbon origin, migration, distribution, and exploration potential Frio Formation of the Texas Gulf Coast basin -- depositional systems, structural framework, and hydrocarbon origin, migration, distribution, and exploration potential 1982

The Frio Formation is one of the major Tertiary progradational wedges of the Texas Gulf Coast Basin and has yielded nearly 6 billion bbl of oil and 60trillion ft30f gas.

Petroleum potential of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle Petroleum potential of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle 1982

The Palo Duro Basin seemingly has all the elements necessary for hydrocarbon generation and accumulation: reservoirs, traps, source rocks, and sufficient thermal maturity. Porous facies in pre-Pennsylvanian, Pennsylvanian, and Permian strata are potential hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Statistical analysis of lineaments and their relation to fracturing, faulting, and halokinesis in the east Texas basin Statistical analysis of lineaments and their relation to fracturing, faulting, and halokinesis in the east Texas basin 1981

Lineament analysis is part of a broad spectrum of structural studies employed to determine the tectonic stability of the East Texas Basin. Such information is necessary to assess the suitability of East Texas salt domes as possible repository sites for the storage of high-level nuclear wastes.

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

Integrated study of the basin structure, tectonic history, physical stratigraphy, hydrogeology, geochemistry, geomorphology, natural resources, and rock physics of the Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins in the Texas Panhandle is part of a national evaluation of ancient salt basins as potential sites fo
