Thumbnail of OFM0273 Geologic map of the Montopolis quadrangle, Travis County, Texas 2023

This map presents a graphic means for engineers, planners, and property owners to recognize and cope with the changes in substrate properties across this fault zone. Fault displacement has created a profound and abrupt change in land-use capabilities in this area.

Facies variability and geologic controls on reservoir heterogeneity in deepwater slope reservoirs in the Pennsylvanian Cisco Group, Lake Trammel South field, Nolan County, Texas Facies variability and geologic controls on reservoir heterogeneity in deepwater slope reservoirs in the Pennsylvanian Cisco Group, Lake Trammel South field, Nolan County, Texas 2022

Deepwater slope deposits in the Virgilian- Wolfcampian Cisco Group in Lake Trammel South field in Nolan County, Texas, have produced oil and gas since the early 1950’s. Nevertheless, the field and adjacent areas have the potential for additional development.
