Chemical and physical approaches are used to study unsaturated flow; however, few studies include an in-depth analysis of data from both approaches.

A waterflood was begun in 1985 in Taylor-Link West San Andres unit (10 million barrels cumulative production) on the south margin of the Central Basin Platform to capture a remaining mobile oil target estimated at 20 million barrels.

Grabens overlying diapirs have previously been ascribed to intrusion, withdrawal, or dissolution of salt. We propose, however, that many grabens or half grabens above diapirs form by regional thin-skinned extension of a brittle overburden.

Texas has large resources of oil and natural gas that remain unrecovered.

The Plio-Pleistocene hydrocarbon fairway of offshore western Louisiana is restricted to the outer continental shelf and upper continental slope where a thick wedge of nearshore and deep-marine sediments was deposited.

This large, 4-sheet geologic map displays more than 350 lithostratigraphic units ranging in age from Precambrian to Quaternary.
