Upper Miocene and Pliocene shoreface and wave-dominated deltaic depocenters in the Macuspana Basin are related primarily to deep-sealed growth faults and large-scale rollover structures associated with shale evacuation.

Canyon sandstones form a prolific low-permeability gas play in the Val Verde Basin of southwest Texas. Exploration and development activity is at a high level, but little published information on Canyon geology is available.

Authors of this report summarize the results of integrated geologic characterization of the Frontier Formation along the Moxa Arch in southwestern Wyoming in four major areas of study: (1) stratigraphic and depositional systems, (2) diagenesis of reservoir sandstones, (3) disttribution of natural

This report summarizes geologic, engineering, and production information on 24 low-permeability, gas-bearing sandstone reservoirs in 13 basins in the United States.

Examination of porosity and permeability (reservoir quality) data, as determined by whole core, acoustic log, and petrographic analyses of lower Tertiary sandstones along the Texas Gulf Coast, made it possible to delineate areas most favorable for development of hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Thirty-one low-permeability gas-bearing sandstones in 15 sedimentary basins were surveyed to delineate the major depositional systems and associated facies of each stratigraphic unit.

Continuity of sandstone reservoirs is controlled by various factors, including faults, sand-body geometry, and the distribution of framework grains, matrices, and interstices within the sand body.

Potential geopressured geothermal reservoirs in the Vicksburg Formation are limited to Hidalgo County along the Lower Texas Gulf Coast.

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).
