Petrophysical characterization and distribution of remaining mobile oil:  South Cowden Grayburg Reservoir, Ector County, Texas Petrophysical characterization and distribution of remaining mobile oil: South Cowden Grayburg Reservoir, Ector County, Texas 2000

This report uses the rock fabric method to construct a reservoir model of a Permian Basin Grayburg dolomite reservoir. Rock fabrics are related to porosity, permeability, and capillary pressure and are distributed within a sequence stratigraphic framework.

Relationship between arid geomorphic settings and unsaturated zone flow:  case study, Chihuahuan desert, Texas Relationship between arid geomorphic settings and unsaturated zone flow: case study, Chihuahuan desert, Texas 2000

Because geomorphic features can readily be mapped, our ability to characterize unsaturated flow over large areas would be greatly enhanced if relationships between geomorphic settings and unsaturated flow could be identified.

Regional stratigraphic cross sections, Comanche Cretaceous (Fredericksburg - Washita Division), Edwards and Stockton plateaus, West Texas:  interpretation of sedimentary facies, depositional cycles, and tectonics Regional stratigraphic cross sections, Comanche Cretaceous (Fredericksburg - Washita Division), Edwards and Stockton plateaus, West Texas: interpretation of sedimentary facies, depositional cycles, and tectonics 2000

Six interlocking regional stratigraphic cross sections of Lower Cretaceous strata (middle Albian-lower Cenomanian) of the Edwards and Stockton Plateaus of West Texas illustrate the vertical and lateral extent of lithostratigraphic units and distribution of facies and facies tracts.
