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.

Combining P-Wave and S-Wave Seismic Data to Improve Prospect Evaluation Combining P-Wave and S-Wave Seismic Data to Improve Prospect Evaluation 1996

This report presents three types of evidence documenting that the combination of P-wave and S-wave seismic data provides geologic insights that cannot be provided by conventional P-wave data alone.

Edwards aquifer ground-water resources: geologic controls on porosity development in platform carbonates, south Texas Edwards aquifer ground-water resources: geologic controls on porosity development in platform carbonates, south Texas 1996

Focusing on the highly developed Edwards aquifer, which supplies water for a large area of south-central Texas, this report presents a three-dimensional model of the porosity distribution in the aquifer, which quantifies the spatial distribution of water resources and provides information that ca
