Sandy depositional environments in the Bossier Shale (a mud-dominated system) of the East Texas basin range from fluvial to deep water. Their occurrence is controlled by a combination of climate and sea level change. Sequence/seismic stratigraphic analysis of well logs and 2-D seismic lines from the East Texas basin demonstrates that the Bossier Shale can be subdivided into two sequences separated by a major sequence boundary (SB-2). Bossier Shale is also bracketed by a basal (SB-1) and upper (SB-3) sequence boundary separating it from the Cotton Valley Lime below, and the Cotton Valley Sand above. In seismic sections, the mid-Bossier (SB-2) boundary was identified by...

Those include: 1) Increase the fee on Perchloroethylene (per gallon) from $15 to $20 and decrease the fee on Petroleum solvents from $5 to $3 per gallon. 2) Restrictions for a site after corrective action initiated: a. Cannot use Perchloroethylene once site is cleaned up. b. If use Perc, then not eligible for clean up using the fund. 3) Status for non-participating sites remains the same if facility or drop station moves their location. 4) Lien imposed against real property owner that is subject to corrective action, if that person (applicant) does not continue to pay their registration fees. ...

Ewing Yegua Energy Associates, LLC San Antonio, TX 78230 ABSTRACT/SUMMARY The Yegua genetic unit of the Gulf Coast Basin (Bartonian, late Middle Eocene; includes the Cook Mountain) contains multiple lowstand events that have generated significant middip (updip of the shelf margin) and downdip (shelf margin and beyond) production trends. The middip trend has produced 1.04 TCFG and 68 MMBC (1.4 TCFE) from 113 fields in two fairways. The Victoria-Fort Bend Fairway (545 BCFE) produces from incised-valley sandstones discovered using ‘bright spots’ and AVO. The Evangeline Fairway (876 BCFE) produces from Cockfield incised-valley sandstones, in large part from salt...

Typical models in such areas are based on a series of restorations that provide basic geometric description of the evolving system. They dont address the evolution of the mechanical properties of rocks through geologic time. This often leads to wrong fault and host rock properties...

HGS General Dinner Meeting Start Date: 12-May-08 5:30 PM End Time: 12-May-08 5:30 PM Location: Westchase Hilton, Houston, TX 77042 Speaker: Dr. Paulo Ballin Event Details: Multi-Disciplinary Reservoir Description to Characterize Connectivity in a Complex Minibasin Fill: an Integrated Approach at Holstein Field Abstract: Holstein is a BP operated, deepwater oil field located in the Gulf of Mexico. Reservoirs comprise stacked, Pliocene turbidite sands with the field formed by a large, steep, southeasterly dipping, monoclinal structure. Early performance of the field showed a sharper production decline than predicted by the sanction study. Dynamic simulation of early wells suggested limited drainage acreage confined by baffle regions with limited connection to the larger reservoir. A campaign of surveillance data was carried out. Subsequent drilling indicated the reservoirs, originally modeled in pressure isolation, were experiencing pressure depletion through connections...
