Provenance of middle to late Miocene clastic sedimentary rocks in the central to eastern Cibao basin, northern Hispaniola
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The provenance of middle to late Miocene clastic sediments of Cibao basin in northern Hispaniola has been assessed via integrated methods including detrital framework modes, clay mineral assemblages and ratios, the composition ...
The effect of fractures, faults, and sheared shale zones on the hydrology of Bear Creek Burial Grounds A-South, Oak Ridge, Tennessee
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Previous hydrologic models of flow in Bear Creek Valley have presented lateral flow as occurring through the Nolichucky Shale in parallel to strike fractures within thin carbonate beds; the effects of faults were not ...
Stratigraphic cyclicity and reservoir heterogeneity within upper San Andres and Grayburg strata (upper Permian-Guadalupian), Maljamar field, Se New Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Cores, logs, and 3D seismic data from Maljamar field (Lea County, southeast New Mexico) were examined in this study and used to construct a detailed sequence stratigraphic framework. Upper San Andres strata are divided ...
Linear depressions and collapse features in the Northwest Hueco Basin, West Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The Northwest Hueco Basin, located in the Northern Chihuahuan Desert, is a fault bounded basin filled predominantly with Plio-Pleistocene unconsolidated sediments. The basin contains long linear depressions that dominate ...
The facies, environments of deposition and cyclicity of the Yates Formation, North Ward-Estes field, Ward County, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The Yates Formation is part of the Artesia Group, a sequence of interbedded carbonates, clastics and evaporates that was deposited across the back-reef shelves of the Permian basin in Late Permian (Upper Guadalupian) time. ...
Origin of gaseous hydrocarbons from Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary strata in the Piceance basin, western Colorado
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Natural gas samples were collected for geochemical analyses from Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary strata of the Piceance basin in western Colorado to: 1) determine the origin of gases (i.e., microbial versus thermogenic), 2) ...
Evaluation of faulting characteristics and ground acceleration associated with recent movement along the Meers Fault, Southwestern Oklahoma
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Recent studies have shown that a 27 km section of the Meers Fault was reactivated during Holocene time. Although these studies have proven the occurrence of recent fault activity, many basic characteristics of the faulting ...
Capture zone design for a contaminated shallow unconfined aquifer
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
Petroleum contamination has impacted a shallow unconfined Pleistocene terrace aquifer, in Travis County, East Austin, Texas (Figure 1). The aquifer was contaminated from accidental spills released from a bulk petroleum ...
The effect of mineral surface chemistry on the biodegradation of petroleum
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
The implementation of intrinsic bioremediation for the cleanup of petroleum contaminated subsurface sites requires an understanding of how mineral surface and organic matter sorption affects contaminant bioavailability. ...
Characterization of the structure of faults in the Eocene Carrizo Formation near Gause, Milam County, Texas
(Texas A&M University, 1997)
This study characterizes the structure and evolution of a series of excellently exposed, normal faults in a small quarry in the Eocene Carrizo Formation near the town of Gause, Milam County, Texas. The faults strike NE-SW ...
