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

Reservoir Modeling of Restricted Platform Carbonates: Geologic/Geostatistical Characterization of Interwell-Scale Reservoir Heterogeneity, Dune Field, Crane County, Texas Reservoir Modeling of Restricted Platform Carbonates: Geologic/Geostatistical Characterization of Interwell-Scale Reservoir Heterogeneity, Dune Field, Crane County, Texas 1990

Petroleum reservoirs typically yield only a fraction of the oil initially in place because geologic heterogeneity causes incomplete drainage of oil.

Identification of sources and mechanisms of salt-water pollution affecting ground-water quality: a case study, West Texas Identification of sources and mechanisms of salt-water pollution affecting ground-water quality: a case study, West Texas 1990

Occurrences of ground-water and soil salinization are numerous in the Concho River watershed and its confluence with the Colorado River in West Texas and in other semiarid regions of Texas and the United States.
