Chert reservoir development in the Devonian Thirtyone Formation: Three Bar field, West Texas Chert reservoir development in the Devonian Thirtyone Formation: Three Bar field, West Texas 1995

Chert reservoirs of the Lower Devonian Thirtyone Formation represent a substantial part of the hydrocarbon resource in the Permian Basin. More than 700 million barrels of oil has been produced from these rocks, and an equivalent amount of mobile oil remains.

Canyon sandstones -- a geologically complex natural gas play in slope and basin facies, Val Verde basin, southwest Texas Canyon sandstones -- a geologically complex natural gas play in slope and basin facies, Val Verde basin, southwest Texas 1995

Canyon sandstones form a prolific low-permeability gas play in the Val Verde Basin of southwest Texas. Exploration and development activity is at a high level, but little published information on Canyon geology is available.

Shallow-seismic evidence for playa basin development by dissolution-induced subsidence on the southern High Plains, Texas Shallow-seismic evidence for playa basin development by dissolution-induced subsidence on the southern High Plains, Texas 1995

The origin of thousands of playa basins on the Southern High Plains of Texas and New Mexico has been attributed to eolian deflation, evaporite or carbonate dissolution and subsidence, piping, or animal activity.
