The authors’ intent in producing this atlas is to provide a resource for exploring the geological CO2 sequestration potential of the near offshore waters of the State of Texas by populating the atlas with both large-scale regional, qualitative and detailed quantitative information that can help o

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.

Large areas of offshore Texas remain unexplored even though sedimentary facies and structural traps favor the generation and accumulation of hydrocarbons.
