Resource optimization through geological and petrophysical characterization of downdip Frio shoreface/shelf sandstone reservoirs: Red Fish Bay field, south Texas Resource optimization through geological and petrophysical characterization of downdip Frio shoreface/shelf sandstone reservoirs: Red Fish Bay field, south Texas 1998

Located in Nueces County, 5 mi southeast of Aransas Pass in Corpus Christi Bay, Red Fish Bay field has yielded more than 19 MMbbl of liquid hydrocarbons and 103 Bcf of gas from more than 50 stacked Frio Sandstone reservoirs since field discovery in 1950.

Comparison of the Recovery Behavior of Contrasting Reservoir Analogs in the Ferron Sandstone Using Outcrop Studies and Numerical Simulation Comparison of the Recovery Behavior of Contrasting Reservoir Analogs in the Ferron Sandstone Using Outcrop Studies and Numerical Simulation 1998

Fluvial-deltaic reservoirs contain large volumes of oil and gas. These reservoirsandstones may have complex stacking patterns, and shales or very fine grained sandstone may form baffles or barriers to flow.

Principles of Onshore 3-D Seismic Design Principles of Onshore 3-D Seismic Design 1997

The basic geometry of an onshore three-dimensional (3-D) seismic recording grid is based on five parameters: source-station spacing, receiver-station spacing, source-line spacing. receiver-line spacing, and recording swath size.
