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. |

Depositional systems and hydrocarbon resource potential of the Pennsylvanian system, Palo Duro and Dalhart Basins, Texas panhandle | 1980 | Pennsylvanian clastic and carbonate strata were deposited in a variety of environments within the Palo Duro Basin. Maximum accumulation (totaling 750 m or 2,400 ft) occurred along a northwest-southeast axis. |

Hydrocarbon accumulation patterns in the east Texas salt dome province | 1982 | Mobilization of the Louann Salt created the present structural configuration in the central part of the East Texas Basin and was the major control on hydrocarbon accumulation in the area. Salt-cored anticlines, turtle-structure anticlines, and salt diapirs were produced by flow of salt. |

Oakwood salt dome, east Texas: geologic framework, growth history, and hydrocarbon production | 1983 | The top of mushroom-shaped Oakwood salt dome is approximately 210 m (700 ft) beneath the boundary of Freestone and Leon Counties near the southwestern end of the East Texas Basin, The dome is surrounded by Jurassic, Cretaceous, and lower Tertiary marine and nonrnarine strata. |

Depositional history, facies analysis, and production characteristics of hydrocarbon-bearing sediments, offshore Texas | 1985 | Large areas of offshore Texas remain unexplored even though sedimentary facies and structural traps favor the generation and accumulation of hydrocarbons. |

Hydrocarbon production and exploration potential of the distal Frio Formation, Texas Gulf coast and offshore | 1989 | Along the Texas Gulf shoreline and offshore, the distal margin of the Frio Formation is a deep hydrocarbon province that is underexplored relative to the onshore Frio. |

Oil and gas resources remaining in the Permian basin: targets for additional hydrocarbon recovery | 1989 | Reservoirs in the Permian Basin of Texas are estimated to have contained a total of 105.7 billion barrels (Bbbl) of oil at discovery. As of January 1985, these reservoirs had produced a cumulative volume of 25.3 Bbbl of oil, and proved reserves were calculated at 5.9 Bbbl. |

Targeted secondary recovery of hydrocarbons from barrier-bar and tidal-channel facies, Jackson Group, Prado field, south Texas | 1994 | Low recovery efficiencies of sandstone reservoirs in the Jackson-Yegua Barrier/ Strandplain Sandstone play mark it as a large hydrocarbon resource target for advanced recovery techniques. |

Facies Heterogeneity in a Modern Ooid Sand Shoal--An Analog for Hydrocarbon Reservoirs | 1996 | The ooid-sand shoals of the Joulters Cays area of Great Bahama Bank were chosen for detailed sedimentologic study to investigate patterns of internal heterogeneity within a modern carbonate sand deposit and to develop criteria for predicting the lateral extent of porous and permeable carbonate gr |

Extent, Mass, and Duration of Hydrocarbon Plumes from Leaking Petroleum Storage Tank Sites in Texas | 1997 | Of the more than 19,000 documented leaking petroleum storage tank (LPST) sites in Texas, more than 6,000 have impacted ground water and resulted in fuel hydrocarbon (FHC) plumes. |
