Characterizing transitional flow deposits in the proximal Brushy Canyon Formation, Texas
(2015-12)
Transitional flow deposits are identified, characterized, and placed in a stratigraphic context in the proximal Brushy Canyon Formation, Guadalupe Mountains, Texas. Transitional flows are sand-laden, mud-rich sediment ...
Sedimentology and reservoir characterization of the Upper Pennsylvanian Cline Shale, Midland Basin, Texas
(2016-08)
The Cline Shale, an organic rich mudrock comprising the Canyon and Cisco Groups in the Midland Basin, has recently become an exploration target and production interval. The Cline is a basin-restricted facies specific to ...
Chemolithofacies of the Upper Cretaceous Buda Formation and Austin Chalk Group, south-central Texas : a product of integration of lithologic and chemical data
(2016-12)
The Upper Cretaceous Cenomanian Buda Formation and Coniacian-Campanian Austin Chalk Group of Texas and northern Mexico are calcareous mudrock (chalk) successions deposited on the drowned lower Cretaceous Comanche platform. ...
Multicomponent seismic image matching and comparison - Fasken Ranch, Andrews County, Texas
(2015-05)
P-wave and S-wave multicomponent seismic data respond to lithology and fluid variations differently, providing interpreters with tools that supply additional information about subsurface geology. To interpret multicomponent ...
Regional stratigraphic and core-based characterization of the Cline Shale, Midland Basin, Texas
(2015-05)
The Cline Shale is an organic-rich mudrock that was deposited in the Midland Basin during the latest Pennsylvanian. Deposits of the Cline Shale are restricted to basinal facies and contain great lateral and vertical ...
Low pH waters in the vicinity of Oak Hill Mine : a statistical evaluation of water quality
(2014-08)
Lignite (brown coal) mine-mouth power plants supply a significance portion of electricity generated annually in Texas. Most lignite is produced from the Wilcox Group at surface mines located near a power plant. At the ...
A question of capacity assessing CO₂ sequestration potential in Texas offshore lands
(2012-12)
The combustion of fossil fuels results in the release of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, a known greenhouse gas. Evidence suggests that “most of the observed increase in global average temperatures…is very likely due ...
Sequence stratigraphy and depositional systems in the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) Woodbine Group, Anderson and Cherokee Counties, Texas
(2016-08)
The Woodbine Group of the East Texas Basin has attracted considerable interest because of its remaining petroleum resource in the deeper Woodbine pay. Recent estimate of the remaining petroleum resources in the East Texas ...
Chronology of laramide magmatism and stockwork fracture filling at the Red Hills porphyry Mo-Cu deposit, Presidio County, Texas
(2015-05)
The Red Hills intrusive complex is the easternmost porphyry Mo-Cu system of Laramide age in southwestern North America. This study constrains the timing between igneous phases, and compares their geochemical characteristics ...
Depositional and diagenetic processes in the formation of the Eocene Jackson Group bentonites, Gonzales County, Texas
(2011-12)
Bentonite clays are exposed in Paleogene strata stretching over 650 km parallel to the Texas coastline. This study focuses on a white and blue and a yellow and brown commercial Ca-montmorillonite bentonite near the city ...
