Facies variability and geologic controls on reservoir heterogeneity in deepwater slope reservoirs in the Pennsylvanian Cisco Group, Lake Trammel South field, Nolan County, Texas Facies variability and geologic controls on reservoir heterogeneity in deepwater slope reservoirs in the Pennsylvanian Cisco Group, Lake Trammel South field, Nolan County, Texas 2022

Deepwater slope deposits in the Virgilian- Wolfcampian Cisco Group in Lake Trammel South field in Nolan County, Texas, have produced oil and gas since the early 1950’s. Nevertheless, the field and adjacent areas have the potential for additional development.

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.

A thick (>6,000-ft [>1,830-m]) succession of Desmoinesian to Virgilian (Pennsylvanian) strata in the northwest part of the Anadarko Basin contains a variety of tide-modified deposits.

This report provides a detailed review of the stratigraphic and structural attributes and controls on productivity and future potential of the Cleveland Formation and Marmaton Group by integrating chronostratigraphic, depositional-facies, and play analysis.

Depositional, structural, and sequence framework of the gas-bearing Cleveland Formation (Upper Pennsylvanian), western Anadarko basin, Texas panhandle Depositional, structural, and sequence framework of the gas-bearing Cleveland Formation (Upper Pennsylvanian), western Anadarko basin, Texas panhandle 1994

ow-permeability ("tight") reservoir sandstones of the lower Missourian Cleveland formation produced more than 435 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of natural gas through December 1990, mostly from Ochiltree and Lipscomb Counties in the northeastern Texas Panhandle.

Regional depositional systems tracts, paleogeography, and sequence stratigraphy, Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian strata, north- and west-central Texas Regional depositional systems tracts, paleogeography, and sequence stratigraphy, Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian strata, north- and west-central Texas 1990

Sixteen depositional sequences, commonly called cyclothems, each composed mostly of limestone(retrogradational/transgressive) and siliciclastic (progradational/regressive) subsequences, or systems tracts, record the paleogeography during Late Pennsylvanian (Virgilian Epoch) and Early Permian (Wol

Regional stratigraphic cross sections, Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian strata (Virgilian and Wolfcampian Series), north-central Texas 1987

This cross section set comprises 14 dip (E-W) sections and 9 strike (N-S) stratigraphic cross sections (with text), correlating upper Pennsylvanian (Virgilian) and lower Permian (Wolfcampian) strata throughout the subsurface in all or parts of 28 counties of North-Central Texas.

Organic geochemistry of the Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian, Palo Duro basin, Texas Organic geochemistry of the Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian, Palo Duro basin, Texas 1986

Cores from deep stratigraphic test wells provide an excellent basis for determination of source-rock quality and thermal maturity of potential hydrocarbon source rocks in the Palo Duro Basin. Total organic carbon (TOC) content in Pennsylvanian and Wolfcampian rocks is highest in basinal shales.
