Regional aquifer characterization for deep-basin lignite mining, Sabine uplift area, northeast Texas Regional aquifer characterization for deep-basin lignite mining, Sabine uplift area, northeast Texas 1983

Lignite deeper than 200 ft (61 m) constitutes about 60 percent of the total lignite resources in Texas. Projections indicate that meeting future demand will require mining this deep-basin lignite.

Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1982) Geology and geohydrology of the Palo Duro basin, Texas panhandle -- a report on the progress of nuclear waste isolation feasibility studies (1982) 1983

Since early 1977, the Bureau of Economic Geology has been evaluating several salt-bearing basins within the State of Texas as part of the national nuclear waste repository program, The Bureau, a research unit of The University of Texas at Austin, is conducting a long-term program to gather and in

Deep brine aquifers in the Palo Duro basin: regional flow and geochemical constraints Deep brine aquifers in the Palo Duro basin: regional flow and geochemical constraints 1983

Geologic characterization of evaporite deposits as potential host rocks for burial of radioactive waste must include hydrogeologic investigations at both local and regional scales.

Coastal evaporite and tidal-flat sediments of the upper Clear Fork and Glorieta Formations, Texas panhandle Coastal evaporite and tidal-flat sediments of the upper Clear Fork and Glorieta Formations, Texas panhandle 1982

Red beds, evaporites, and carbonates of the upper Clear Fork and Glorieta Formations (Permian) of the Texas Panhandle form an association of facies deposited in nearshore and supratidal environments along an arid coastline.

Wilcox Sandstone reservoirs in the deep subsurface along the Texas Gulf Coast -- their potential for production of geopressured geothermal energy Wilcox Sandstone reservoirs in the deep subsurface along the Texas Gulf Coast -- their potential for production of geopressured geothermal energy 1982

Regional studies of the lower Eocene Wilcox Group in Texas were conducted to assess the potential for producing heat energy and solution methane from geopressured fluids in the deep-subsurface growth-faulted zone.
