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.

Surficial evidence of tectonic activity and erosion rates, Palestine, Keechi, and Oakwood salt domes, east Texas Surficial evidence of tectonic activity and erosion rates, Palestine, Keechi, and Oakwood salt domes, east Texas 1982

Surficial geologic investigations at Palestine, Keechi, and Oakwood salt domes have provided information necessary for evaluating these domes as nuclear waste repositories. Diapir growth uplifted sediments to form domes and created complex radial faulting.
