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.

Observations from the east Texas seismic network (June 1981 - August 1982) Observations from the east Texas seismic network (June 1981 - August 1982) 1984

Several microearthquake recording stations were operated as a network in the East Texas Basin beginning in June 1981. At least six certain and two probable earthquakes as well as hundreds of events of undetermined origin were recorded through August 1982.

Continuity and Internal Properties of Gulf Coast Sandstones and Their Implications for Geopressured Fluid Production Continuity and Internal Properties of Gulf Coast Sandstones and Their Implications for Geopressured Fluid Production 1983

Continuity of sandstone reservoirs is controlled by various factors, including faults, sand-body geometry, and the distribution of framework grains, matrices, and interstices within the sand body.

Three-dimensional ground-water modeling in depositional systems, Wilcox Group, Oakwood salt dome area, east Texas Three-dimensional ground-water modeling in depositional systems, Wilcox Group, Oakwood salt dome area, east Texas 1983

A three-dimensional model was constructed of ground-water flow in the Wilcox-Carrizo aquifer system near Oakwood salt dome to facilitate understanding the hydrogeology around salt domes of the Gulf interior region and ultimately to evaluate the hydrologic suitability of Oakwood Dome for storage o
