Depositional systems and structural controls of Hackberry Sandstone reservoirs in southeast Texas Depositional systems and structural controls of Hackberry Sandstone reservoirs in southeast Texas 1984

Deep-water sandstones of the Oligocene-age Hackberry unit of the Frio Formation contain significant quantities of oil and gas and remain potentially one of the most productive exploration targets in southeast Texas.

Geology and Engineering Characteristics of Selected Low-Permeability Gas Sandstones: A National Survey Geology and Engineering Characteristics of Selected Low-Permeability Gas Sandstones: A National Survey 1984

Thirty-one low-permeability gas-bearing sandstones in 15 sedimentary basins were surveyed to delineate the major depositional systems and associated facies of each stratigraphic unit.

Sedimentary record of Cretaceous and Tertiary salt movement, east Texas basin:  times, rates, and volumes of salt flow and their implications for nuclear waste isolation and petroleum exploration Sedimentary record of Cretaceous and Tertiary salt movement, east Texas basin: times, rates, and volumes of salt flow and their implications for nuclear waste isolation and petroleum exploration 1984

Post-Aptian strata (younger than 112 ma) in the East Texas Basin were strongly influenced by halokinesis and recorded the evolution associated sate structures.

Atlas of salt domes in the east Texas basin Atlas of salt domes in the east Texas basin 1984

Data collected during the last 5 years on the 15 shallow salt diapirs that extend upward to shallow depths (<4,000 ft, 1,220 m) in the East Texas Basin are presented here in graphical and tabular form.

Hydrogeology of the Edwards aquifer, Austin area, central Texas Hydrogeology of the Edwards aquifer, Austin area, central Texas 1984

The Edwards Formation, on the downthrown side of Mt. Bonnell fault in the Austin, Texas, area (Hays and Travis Counties), is part of the northeastern extension of the Edwards Underground Reservoir, the primary source of water in numerous counties along the Balcones Fault Zone.

Enhanced gas recovery from watered-out reservoirs -- Port Arthur Field, Jefferson County, Texas Enhanced gas recovery from watered-out reservoirs -- Port Arthur Field, Jefferson County, Texas 1984

Gas reservoirs that water out under moderate to strong water drives are normally abandoned when the expenses associated with salt-water disposal make continued operations uneconomical.

Suitability of salt domes in the east Texas basin for nuclear waste isolation:  final summary of geologic and hydrologic research (1978 to 1983) Suitability of salt domes in the east Texas basin for nuclear waste isolation: final summary of geologic and hydrologic research (1978 to 1983) 1984

This report summarizes results of the East Texas Waste Isolation (ETWI) program from January 1, 1978, to March 30, 1983. Having an extensive data base, the study comprised 33 different lines of research by 67 scientists and research assistants.
