Unrecovered mobile oil is oil that is movable at reservoir conditions but is prevented from migrating to existing we1 l bores because of geologic complexities or heterogeneities.

The Lower Cretaceous Travis Peak Formation contains an estimated 6.4 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of gas in place in East Texas and North Louisiana. Advanced technology will be needed to maximize recovery from this low-permeability ("tight") gas sandstone.

Geologic mapping and fracture analysis of the Lower Cretaceous Edwards aquifer strata near Georgetown and Round Rock, Texas, were performed to provide a better understanding of the geologic framework of the Balcones Fault Zone and to provide information for assessing ground-water flow characteris

Remotely sensed features such as linear drainages, escarpments, ridges, and aligned playas have been identified on Landsat imagery (scale 1:250,000) of the Texas Panhandle and adjacent regions to allow comparison of these features with detailed regional and site-specific geologic data.

The Ellenburger Group (Lower Ordovician) of Texas is a laterally extensive peritidal carbonate shelf sequence. It forms a major deep oil reservoir, having estimated reserves of 1.15 billion barrels of oil, and it also contains an estimated 2.2 billion barrels of oil equivalent.
