Deposition and diagenesis in a marine-to-evaporite sequence:  Permian Upper Wolfcamp Formation and Lower Wichita Group, Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle 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.

Facies heterogeneity and brine-disposal potential of Miocene barrier island, fluvial, and deltaic systems:  examples from northeast Hitchcock and Alta Loma fields, Galveston County, Texas Facies heterogeneity and brine-disposal potential of Miocene barrier island, fluvial, and deltaic systems: examples from northeast Hitchcock and Alta Loma fields, Galveston County, Texas 1990

To recover gas remaining in solution, large volumes of brine must be produced from watered-out gas reservoirs in the Gulf Coast.

Ambrose, W.A. Bureau of Economic Geology
Neotectonic history and structural style of the Campo Grande fault, Hueco basin, Trans-Pecos Texas Neotectonic history and structural style of the Campo Grande fault, Hueco basin, Trans-Pecos Texas 1990

The Hueco Basin of Trans-Pecos Texas and Chihuahua, Mexico, formed in response to Basin and Range extensional tectonism that began about 24 Ma ago and continues to the present.

Integration of ground-water and vadose-zone geochemistry to investigate hydrochemical evolution: a case study in arid lands of the northern Chihuahuan Desert, Trans-Pecos Texas Integration of ground-water and vadose-zone geochemistry to investigate hydrochemical evolution: a case study in arid lands of the northern Chihuahuan Desert, Trans-Pecos Texas 1990

The hydrochemical history of ground water in the arid southeastern Hueco Bolson and southwestern Diablo Plateau was investigated by collecting soil-moisture samples from unsaturated siliciclastic bolson-fill sediments and groundwater samples from the Diablo Plateau aquifer, the Hueco Bolson silt

Regional depositional systems tracts, paleogeography, and sequence stratigraphy, Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian strata, north- and west-central Texas Regional depositional systems tracts, paleogeography, and sequence stratigraphy, Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian strata, north- and west-central Texas 1990

Sixteen depositional sequences, commonly called cyclothems, each composed mostly of limestone(retrogradational/transgressive) and siliciclastic (progradational/regressive) subsequences, or systems tracts, record the paleogeography during Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian Epoch) and Early Permian (Wol

Hydrogeology of Trans-Pecos Texas Hydrogeology of Trans-Pecos Texas 1990

This guidebook, Hydrogeology of Trans-Pecos Texas, grew out of our interest in the hydrogeology of desert environments.

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.
