Extent, Mass, and Duration of Hydrocarbon Plumes from Leaking Petroleum Storage Tank Sites in Texas Extent, Mass, and Duration of Hydrocarbon Plumes from Leaking Petroleum Storage Tank Sites in Texas 1997

Of the more than 19,000 documented leaking petroleum storage tank (LPST) sites in Texas, more than 6,000 have impacted ground water and resulted in fuel hydrocarbon (FHC) plumes.

Gulf shoreline movement between Sabine Pass and the Brazos River, Texas: 1974 to 1996 Gulf shoreline movement between Sabine Pass and the Brazos River, Texas: 1974 to 1996 1997

Changes in shoreline position along the southeastern Texas Gulf coast between 1974 and 1996 were documented by conducting a kinematic real-time differential global positioning system (DGPS) field survey in 1996 and comparing that shoreline with other shorelines archived in a geographic informatio

A Practical Use of Vertical Seismic Profiles-Stratigraphic Calibration of 3-D Seismic Data - Downloadable PDF A Practical Use of Vertical Seismic Profiles-Stratigraphic Calibration of 3-D Seismic Data - Downloadable PDF 1997

Seismic interpreters must have a reliable methodology that allows them to (1) correlate seismic reflection events with well-log-defined sequence boundaries and (2) specify which seismic facies windows correspond to the rock facies intervals defined by well control.

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.
