Geological CO2 Sequestration Atlas of Miocene Strata, Offshore Texas State Waters Geological CO2 Sequestration Atlas of Miocene Strata, Offshore Texas State Waters 2017

The authors’ intent in producing this atlas is to provide a resource for exploring the geological CO2 sequestration potential of the near offshore waters of the State of Texas by populating the atlas with both large-scale regional, qualitative and detailed quantitative information that can help o

Salt-Related Fault Families and Fault Welds in the Northern Gulf of Mexico Salt-Related Fault Families and Fault Welds in the Northern Gulf of Mexico 2003

We classify salt-related faults and fault welds in the northern Gulf of Mexico on the basis of the three-dimensional geometry of the faults, welds, deformed strata, and associated salt bodies.

Plio-Pleistocene genetic sequences of the southwestern Louisiana continental shelf and slope: geologic framework, sedimentary facies, and hydrocarbon distribution Plio-Pleistocene genetic sequences of the southwestern Louisiana continental shelf and slope: geologic framework, sedimentary facies, and hydrocarbon distribution 1992

The Plio-Pleistocene hydrocarbon fairway of offshore western Louisiana is restricted to the outer continental shelf and upper continental slope where a thick wedge of nearshore and deep-marine sediments was deposited.

Geologic characterization of low-permeability gas reservoirs, Travis Peak Formation, East Texas Geologic characterization of low-permeability gas reservoirs, Travis Peak Formation, East Texas 1991

The Lower Cretaceous Travis Peak Formation contains an estimated 6.4 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of gas in place in East Texas and North Louisiana. Advanced technology will be needed to maximize recovery from this low-permeability ("tight") gas sandstone.

Landsat-based lineament analysis, East Texas basin and Sabine uplift area Landsat-based lineament analysis, East Texas basin and Sabine uplift area 1987

Lineament analysis was used to study the relationship between subsurface structure and surficial features in East Texas, southeastern Oklahoma, southwestern Arkansas, and northwestern Louisiana-areas of low topographic relief, moderate vegetation cover, and diverse land use.
