This book was released on 2007 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated study using 3D seismic, wireline logs, and core analyses was conducted to establish new strategies for exploring compartmentalized, lowstand, prograding deltaic systems. The Frio siliciclastics, totaling approximately 11,000 ft., are commercial gas reservoirs in many of the growth-faulted, intraslope subbasins in South Texas. Red Fish Bay field is located in such a growth-faulted subbasin. Some Frio reservoir sandstones in Red Fish Bay field are part of a Frio third-order, lowstand prograding-wedge tract. This third-order systems tract is composed of 10 higher-order, lowstand deltaic, and superposed transgressive systems tracts. Many of the reservoirs in the higher-order lowstand deltas and transgressive sandstones are composed of fine-grained, lithic arkoses that have mean porosities of 20 to 25 percent and mean permeability in the tens of millidarcys. Incised rivers contributed large amounts of sediment to the continental slope via shelf-edge, ephemeral, high-frequency lowstand deltas located at notched river mouths. Lowstand depocenters eventually overloaded unconsolidated mud-rich, water-saturated sediments. Gravity failure along incipient growth faults, which were present at weaknesses of the slope, displaced highly mobilized muds basinward of the growing lowstand sedimentary wedge. The growth fault, active during lowstand sedimentation, ceased its influence with rising sea level and the shifting of sedimentation shelfward. Regionally, growth faults trend generally northeast-southwest, setting up small subbasins. Associated with the growth faults are numerous subparallel, postdepositional synthetic faults. Some normal faults trend perpendicular to the growth faults, establishing a complex pattern of fault compartmentalization that dissects the prograding-wedge depositional patterns. Pressure-decline analysis demonstrates compartmentalization that is due to (1) lateral discontinuous sandstone bodies and (2) sandstone bodies that have several pressure compartments defined by fault segregation.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zones of above average subsurface temperatures have been noted in certain areas of the Gulf Coast basin. Their cause has often been credited to geopressure, which presumably traps heat because of higher porosity and consequently lower thermal conductivity. I determined the temperature distribution in a portion of South Texas by collecting and analyzing over 1600 bottom-hole temperature measurements. The analysis included correcting the temperatures with the Kehle correction scheme, constructing isothermal surfaces by both interpolating and extrapolating the data, and Kriging the result. Temperature profiles were plotted for twelve subregions of the study area. The greatest temperature anomalies are associated with the Tertiary Wilcox growth fault zone, and the simple presence of geopressure is insufficient to account for the temperature anomaly. Numerical modeling indicates that growth faults act as zones for concentrated vertical flow. The upwelling of deep basinal fluids advects heat and causes the high temperatures observed in the growth fault zone. The model, by Smith (1983), is two-dimensional, finite element, steady state, and couples heat and fluid transport. It indicates that the source of these fluids is deep, perhaps over 20,000 feet (6096 m) below the surface. The modeling results also suggest that an unidentified region of high thermal and hydraulic conductivity could exist coastward of the Wilcox faults at a depth of about 15,000-20,000 feet (4572-6096m).
