Geologic characterization of low-permeability gas reservoirs, Travis Peak Formation, East Texas | 1991 | 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. |

Delineation of unrecovered mobile oil in a mature dolomite reservoir: East Penwell San Andres Unit, university lands, West Texas | 1990 | The East Penwell San Andres Unit produces from a depth of approximately 3,400 ft (1,040 m) on the east flank of a broad, low-relief anticline on the east side of the Central Basin Platform of the Permian Basin in Ector and Crane Counties, West Texas. |

Opportunities for Horizontal Drilling in Texas | 1990 | Horizontal drilling in a mature hydrocarbon province such as Texas can increase recovery from reservoirs in which a significant proportion of oil or gas in place remains unrecovered by conventional means. |

Deposition and diagenesis in a marine-to-evaporite sequence: Permian Upper Wolfcamp Formation and Lower Wichita Group, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle | 1990 | Lower Permian Wolfcamp and Wichita carbonates and anhydrites in the Palo Duro Basin, Texas Panhandle, record a change from normal-marine to marine evaporite depositional environment. |

Field extension in a carbonate reservoir: an example from the central basin platform, Permian Basin, West Texas | 1990 | Reexploration of old fields in mature hydrocarbon provinces, such as the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico, may significantly increase known oil and gas reserves. |
