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.

Hydraulic properties of the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer in Texas:  information for groundwater modeling, planning, and management Hydraulic properties of the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer in Texas: information for groundwater modeling, planning, and management 2003

Use of groundwater-flow models for prediction of future availability of water resources is standard practice. Having accurate hydraulic parameters for input into groundwater-flow models is critical to the generation of realistic local and regional water-resource management plans.

Play-based assessment of hydrocarbon resources in University Lands reservoirs, Permian Basin, West Texas Play-based assessment of hydrocarbon resources in University Lands reservoirs, Permian Basin, West Texas 2003

Oil and gas resources on University Lands, 2.1 million acres in 19 West Texas counties, constitute a major asset of the University of Texas System. The original oil in place (OOIP) of the 102 major University Lands oil reservoirs is calculated to be 7,520 MMbbl.

Quick-Look Chart for Restoration of Salt Structures in Cross Section Quick-Look Chart for Restoration of Salt Structures in Cross Section 2003

Salt structures can be extremely challenging to interpret and understand. To begin with, the high velocity contrast between salt and most sedimentary rocks means that many salt structures are poorly imaged on seismic data.
