Geothermal resources, Frio Formation, South Texas | 1974 | A preliminary study of the Frio sand distribution and formation temperatures and pressures was undertaken in order to define prospective areas in which a more detailed reservoir analysis is necessary prior to the selection of a site for a geothermal well. |

Geothermal resources, Frio Formation, upper Texas Gulf coast | 1976 | The objective of this study is to identify major sand trends, which, along with subsurface temperatures and pressures, aid in evaluating the potential of producing geothermal energy from the Frio Formation, Upper Texas Gulf Coast. |

Relationship of porosity formation and preservation to sandstone consolidation history -- Gulf coast Lower Tertiary Frio Formation | 1977 | Reservoir quality of lower Teritary sandstone reservoirs along the Texas Gulf Coast is controlled by sandstone depositional environment, mineralogical composition, and consolidation history (compaction, cementation, and leaching). |

Gas reservoir quality variations and implications for resource development, Frio Formation, south Texas: examples from Seeligson and Stratton fields | 1993 | Discovery of volcanic glass detritus in fluvial deposits of the middle Frio Formation (Seeligson and Stratton fields) of South Texas has resulted in a new classification of reservoir types (type I and type II) within this formation. |

Frio Formation of the Texas Gulf Coast basin -- depositional systems, structural framework, and hydrocarbon origin, migration, distribution, and exploration potential | 1982 | The Frio Formation is one of the major Tertiary progradational wedges of the Texas Gulf Coast Basin and has yielded nearly 6 billion bbl of oil and 60trillion ft30f gas. |

Reservoir facies architecture in a microtidal barrier system -- Frio Formation, Texas Gulf Coast | 1985 | Sandstone reservoirs deposited in microtidal barrier systems contain large oil and gas reserves in several Gulf Coast Basin plays. |

Facies architecture and production characteristics of strand-plain reservoirs in the Frio Formation, Texas | 1985 | Many modern shore zones comprise a continuum of depositional environments that encompass both strandplain and barrier-island systems. Strandplains are further subdivided into two classes: sand-rich beach-ridge plains and mud-rich chenier plains. |

Structural styles of the Wilcox and Frio growth-fault trends in Texas: constraints on geopressured reservoirs | 1986 | The wide variability in structural styles within the growth-faulted, geopressured trends of the Texas Gulf Coast is illustrated by detailed structural maps of selected areas of the Wilcox and Frio growth-fault trends and quantified by statistical analysis of fault compartment geometries. |
