Depositional setting, structural style, and sandstone distribution in three geopressured geothermal areas, Texas Gulf Coast

Description: Three areas in the Texas Gulf Coast region with different depositional settings, structural styles, and sandstone distribution were studied with well log and seismic data to evaluate some of the controls on subsurface conditions in geopressured aquifers. Structural and stratigraphic interpretations were made primarily on the basis of well log correlations. Seismic data confirm the log interpretations but also are useful in structure mapping at depths below well control.

Regional Issue Identification and Assessment (RIIA): an analysis of the mid-range projection, Series C Scenario

Description: The Department of Energy has hypothesized a number of alternate energy futures as part of its energy planning and analysis programs. How a proposed energy future called the Mid-Range Projection Series C Scenario would affect Federal Region VI (Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, and New Mexico) is examined in this report. This scenario assumes a medium supply and a medium demand for fuel through 1990, and it incorporates the fuel-switching provisions of the Energy Supply and Environmental Coo… more

Follow-up inspection of the Formerly Utilized Sites Remedial-Action Program

Description: Corrective actions had been taken in four of the six areas of concern that were addressed in the 1982 report. The remaining two areas are summarized as follows: Certification of Remedial Actions. We found, in the initial inspection, that FUSRAP properties were not being certified as decontaminated in a timely manner following remedial action. This problem has not yet been resolved. The Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy acknowledged that the certification process is lengthy but maintained t… more

Geostatistics project of the national uranium resource evaluation program. Progress report, October 1980-March 1981

Description: During the period covered by this report, we analyzed the radiometric data collected along the Texas Gulf Coast using ten discriminant analysis techniques to establish radiometric signatures and classify new observations. We conducted a survey of several methods for computing the covariance matrix of large data sets, with particular interest to one-pass algorithms. An investigation of methods of estimating upper-tail percentiles for aerial radiometric data was begun. A feasibility study was con… more

Application of discriminant analysis and generalized distance measures to uranium exploration

Description: The National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) Project has as its goal estimation of the nation's uranium resources. It is possible to use discriminant analysis methods on hydrogeochemical data collected in the NURE Program to aid in formulating geochemical models which can be used to identify the anomalous regions necessary for resource estimation. Discriminant analysis methods have been applied to data from the Plainview, Texas Quadrangle which has approximately 850 groundwater samples with … more

Thermal conductivity and diffusivity of Permian Basin bedded salt at elevated pressure and temperature

Description: Measurements of thermal conductivity and diffusivity were made on five core samples of bedded rock salt from the Permian Basin in Texas to determine its suitability as an underground nuclear waste repository.
