The Permian Basin of Texas and New Mexico is an important petroleum province with a complex tectonic history. This region has been shaped by several divergent and convergent deformation events since the Proterozoic Eon.

Our study documents the shelf, shelf-edge, slope, and basin-floor depositional facies characteristics, stratigraphic variations, and sedimentation trends of the Missourian Canyon Group and Virgilian–Wolfcampian Cisco Group across the southern Eastern Shelf and the adjacent Midland Basin.

Oil and gas resources on University Lands, 2.1 million acres in 19 West Texas counties, constitute a major asset of the University of Texas System. The original oil in place (OOIP) of the 102 major University Lands oil reservoirs is calculated to be 7,520 MMbbl.

This report combines borehole core and geophysical log study with porosity and permeability data to define patterns of facies and permeability distribution in a typical upper Clear Fork reservoir in the Permian Basin.

In this study, 28 cores were used to define the depositional facies, cyclicity, and sequence stratigraphy of a typical upper Guadalupian carbonate platform reservoir in the Permian Basin.

This report presents a statistical analysis of outcrop-permeability data for quantifying spatial patterns of petrophysical heterogeneity in carbonates that are difficult or impossible to observe in the subsurface.

Six interlocking regional stratigraphic cross sections of Lower Cretaceous strata (middle Albian-lower Cenomanian) of the Edwards and Stockton Plateaus of West Texas illustrate the vertical and lateral extent of lithostratigraphic units and distribution of facies and facies tracts.

This report summarizes results of an integrated geological, geophysical, petrophysical, and engineering study of a representative Delaware Mountain Group field to identify constraints on producibility in the deep-water sandstone reservoir exhibiting low primary recovery efficiency.

Salinization of soil and water is a chronic environmental and agricultural problem in arid regions.

A multidisciplinary reservoir-characterization study of the Ellenburger Group was conducted over a 176-mi2 3-D seismic grid in Pecos, Reeves, and Ward Counties in the southern Delaware Basin of West Texas.
