The sedimentological and geotechnical characteristics of the lower continental slope and rise of the Mississippi Fan fold belt
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The study is based on geological and geotechnical laboratory testing data of 70 three inch diameter piston cores. Concentration is along the Sigsbee Escarpment in a grid area between 90⁰ and 91⁰W and 26.7⁰ and 27.3⁰N. Water ...
Characterization and origins of high-amplitude reflection packets, HARPs, along the Gulf of Mexico depositional profile
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
High amplitude reflection packets (HARPs) refer to sheet-like sand deposits, showing high-amplitude seismic-reflection character, which are thought to be associated with constructional channel systems. Based on observations ...
Reservoir characterization of the upper Merecure and lower Oficina Formations sands in the Leona Este Field, Eastern Venezuela Basin
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The "S5", "T" and "U1" sands, traditionally described as part of the lower section of the "Oficina" Formation, and the "U2" sand, as part of the upper interval of the "Merecure" Formation, contain the largest oil remaining ...
Geologic and geophysical investigation of a small water retention structure, Salado, Tx
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
There are numerous farm ponds and stock tanks in Texas. Most of these are built and maintained without any significant problems. Occasionally however, some of these structures do have some serious problems such as leakage, ...
Trapping capacity of fault zones, downdip Yegua Formation, Texas Gulf Coast basin
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The homogenization of sediment from shearing forms traps in both the hanging wall and footwall due to capillary pressure differences. The sheared zone associated with large faults can form traps. Sheared zones associated ...
Regional characteristics, timing, and significance of dissolution and collapse features in Lower Cretaceous carbonate platform strata, Desoto Canyon area, offshore Alabama-Florida
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
Lower Cretaceous carbonate strata from the central DeSoto Canyon area, offshore Alabama and Florida were studied to determine the extent, intensity, and controlling factors on dissolution-collapse features within these ...
High-resolution stratigraphic and structural characterization of the fault-partitioned Hickory Sandstone aquifer system, Mason County, central Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The Hickory Sandstone is an important aquifer in central Texas and is partitioned by faults that impede cross-fault fluid flow. This study provides a detailed stratigraphic and structural model in the vicinity of a normal, ...
Structural characterization of the Emperor and Halley fields, Winkler County, West Texas
(Texas A&M University, 2001)
The Halley and Emperor fields, Winkler County, West Texas, are located along the western margin of the Central Basin Platform (CBP), a late Paleozoic fault-bounded structural high in the Permian Basin. Well data, regional ...
The structure and evolution of small-displacement strike-slip faults in porous sandstone
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
The early-evolution of fault structure is inferred from analysis of detailed maps of portions of strike-slip faults with uniform displacements ranging from mm to decimeter in porous quartzose sandstone. Emphasis is on ...
Acoustic emission and compaction creep of quartz sand at subcritical stress
(Texas A&M University, 2002)
Time-dependent fluid-assisted mechanisms such as stress-induced dissolution and subcritical crack growth play an important role in porosity reduction and compaction of granular material in nature. Previous compaction creep ...
