Depositional Systems and Controls on Reservoir Quality (Determined from Core Data) in Deeply Buried Tertiary Strata in the Texas-Louisiana Gulf of Mexico Depositional Systems and Controls on Reservoir Quality (Determined from Core Data) in Deeply Buried Tertiary Strata in the Texas-Louisiana Gulf of Mexico 2013

A study of the deeply buried (>10,000 ft [>3,050 m]) Tertiary section in the Gulf of Mexico, which makes use of whole cores from 12 wells in Louisiana and Texas, provides a framework for interpreting depositional origin and demonstrates that relative position within the sequence-stratigraph

The Wolfberry play in West Texas combines favorable geology with innovative completion practices to form one of the largest unconventional oil plays in the United States. Wolfberry wells produced almost 55 million barrels of oil in 2011, and that figure could double in a few years.
