Spatial Statistics of Permeability Data from Carbonate Outcrops of West Texas and New Mexico: Implications for Improved Reservoir Modeling Spatial Statistics of Permeability Data from Carbonate Outcrops of West Texas and New Mexico: Implications for Improved Reservoir Modeling 2000

This report presents a statistical analysis of outcrop-permeability data for quantifying spatial patterns of petrophysical heterogeneity in carbonates that are difficult or impossible to observe in the subsurface.

Jennings, J.W., Jr. Report of Investigations Bureau of Economic Geology
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.

Origin and development of playa basins, sources of recharge to the Ogallala aquifer, southern High Plains, Texas and New Mexico Origin and development of playa basins, sources of recharge to the Ogallala aquifer, southern High Plains, Texas and New Mexico 1995

More than 20,000 playa basins have formed on the Southern High Plains of Texas and New Mexico.

Regional structural cross sections, mid-Permian to Quaternary strata, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico: distribution of evaporites and areas of evaporite dissolution and collapse Regional structural cross sections, mid-Permian to Quaternary strata, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico: distribution of evaporites and areas of evaporite dissolution and collapse 1988

The Palo Duro Basin of the Texas Panhandle and eastern New Mexico contains bedded Permian salts of sufficient thickness and depth for the basin to be considered as a potential site for long-term storage and isolation of high-level nuclear waste.

Hydrogeology and hydrochemistry of Cretaceous aquifers, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico Hydrogeology and hydrochemistry of Cretaceous aquifers, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico 1988

Cretaceous rocks in the Southern High Plains, traditionally considered to be part of the High Plains aquifer and recharged by the overlying Ogallala aquifer, actually contain three aquifers with different recharge sources.

Morphometric studies of subhumid and semiarid drainage basins, Texas panhandle and northeastern New Mexico Morphometric studies of subhumid and semiarid drainage basins, Texas panhandle and northeastern New Mexico 1987

Data from five drainage basins in the Texas Panhandle and northeastern New Mexico characterize the recent history of regional drainage basin formation and landscape development around the margins of the Southern High Plains.

Fracture analyses of the Palo Duro basin area, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico Fracture analyses of the Palo Duro basin area, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico 1986

Fractures and veins in strata of the Palo Duro Basin area, Texas Panhandle and eastern New Mexico, are characterized using data from outcrop and core studies and from fracture identification log analysis.

Hydrogeology and hydrochemical facies of the San Andres Formation in eastern New Mexico and the Texas panhandle Hydrogeology and hydrochemical facies of the San Andres Formation in eastern New Mexico and the Texas panhandle 1986

Fluid pressure, permeability, rates and patterns of ground-water flow, and chemical and isotopic composition of ground water in carbonate rock in the lower part of the San Andres Formation (Permian) in eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle were studied to characterize the origin and movement

Hydrogeochemistry and water resources of the Triassic lower Dockum Group in the Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico Hydrogeochemistry and water resources of the Triassic lower Dockum Group in the Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico 1986

Topographically controlled ground-water-basin divides, established during the Pleistocene by erosion of the Pecos and Canadian River valleys, prevent ground-water recharge in the outcrop of the Triassic Dockum Group from entering the confined part of the aquifer in the Dockum Group beneath the So
