Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian Shelf-to-Basin Facies Architecture and Trends, Eastern Shelf of the Southern Midland Basin, West Texas Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian Shelf-to-Basin Facies Architecture and Trends, Eastern Shelf of the Southern Midland Basin, West Texas 2017

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.

Play-based assessment of hydrocarbon resources in University Lands reservoirs, Permian Basin, West Texas Play-based assessment of hydrocarbon resources in University Lands reservoirs, Permian Basin, West Texas 2003

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.

Geological controls on reservoir development in a Leonardian (Lower Permian) carbonate platform reservoir, Monahans field, West Texas Geological controls on reservoir development in a Leonardian (Lower Permian) carbonate platform reservoir, Monahans field, West Texas 2002

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.

Competing effects of depositional architecture and diagenesis on carbonate reservoir development:  Grayburg Formation, South Cowden field, West Texas Competing effects of depositional architecture and diagenesis on carbonate reservoir development: Grayburg Formation, South Cowden field, West Texas 2001

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.

Regional stratigraphic cross sections, Comanche Cretaceous (Fredericksburg - Washita Division), Edwards and Stockton plateaus, West Texas:  interpretation of sedimentary facies, depositional cycles, and tectonics Regional stratigraphic cross sections, Comanche Cretaceous (Fredericksburg - Washita Division), Edwards and Stockton plateaus, West Texas: interpretation of sedimentary facies, depositional cycles, and tectonics 2000

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.

Spatial Statistics of Permeability Data from Carbonate Outcrops of West Texas and New Mexico: Implications for Improved Reservoir Modeling Spatial Statistics of Permeability Data from Carbonate Outcrops of West Texas and New Mexico: Implications for Improved Reservoir Modeling 2000

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.
