Sandstone consolidation analysis to delineate areas of high-quality reservoirs suitable for production of geopressured geothermal energy along the Texas Gulf Coast

摘要: Analysis of reservoir quality lower Tertiary sandstones along the Texas Gulf Coast delineates areas most favorable for geopressured geothermal exploration. Reservoir is determined by whole core, acoustic log, and petrographic analyses. The Wilcox Group has good potential energy in Middle possibly adjacent areas, but other are marginal. Vicksburg Formation Lower not prospective. Frio increases from very poor lowermost Texas, to marginal into through Upper Coast. best deep-reservoir any unit (MHR)
