Regional distribution of fractures in the southern Edwards Plateau and their relationship to tectonics and caves Regional distribution of fractures in the southern Edwards Plateau and their relationship to tectonics and caves 1977

In order to better understand the control exerted by fractures on the recharge and production zones of limestone aquifers, the authors delineated surficial fracture zones in the southern Edwards Plateau, Texas. Lineations were marked on nearly 200 mosaics scale of 1:24,000.

Fracture analyses of the Palo Duro basin area, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico Fracture analyses of the Palo Duro basin area, Texas panhandle and eastern New Mexico 1986

Fractures and veins in strata of the Palo Duro Basin area, Texas Panhandle and eastern New Mexico, are characterized using data from outcrop and core studies and from fracture identification log analysis.

Facies and diagenesis of the Austin Chalk and controls on fracture intensity -- a case study from north-central Texas Facies and diagenesis of the Austin Chalk and controls on fracture intensity -- a case study from north-central Texas 1998

The urban corridors associated with the Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio metropolitan areas lie on Austin Chalk outcrop. In these areas of rapid urbanization, ground-water information is needed to resolve environmental issues. The Austin Chalk also produces hydrocarbons in the deep subsurface.

Fracture analysis of the Travis Peak Formation, western flank of the Sabine Arch, east Texas Fracture analysis of the Travis Peak Formation, western flank of the Sabine Arch, east Texas 1989

Successful development of low-permeability-sandstone gas reservoirs depends on an understandingof their natural fracture patterns and on predictions of the orientation of horizontal stresses.This report describes the preliminary results of fracture analysis of the Lower Cretaceous TravisPeak Form
