Identification of surface faults by horizontal resistivity profiles, Texas coastal zone Identification of surface faults by horizontal resistivity profiles, Texas coastal zone 1978

The land surface in the Texas Coastal Zone is interlaced with active and potentially active surface faults. They are subtle features which are difficult to identify until they have caused damage to manmade structures. To date (1978), significant damage has resulted.

Frio sandstone reservoirs -- in the deep subsurface along the Texas Gulf Coast; their potential for production of geopressured geothermal energy Frio sandstone reservoirs -- in the deep subsurface along the Texas Gulf Coast; their potential for production of geopressured geothermal energy 1978

Tertiary strata of the Texas Gulf Coast comprise a number of terrigenous depositional wedges, some of which thicken abruptly at their downdip ends as a result of contemporaneous movement of growth faults and underlying salt.
