Geological CO2 Sequestration Atlas for Miocene Strata Offshore Texas State Waters

Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
The purpose of this atlas is to provide a summary ofresearch under taken as par t of a multi-year study (2009¿2014)of Texas state waters and the adjacent federal offshorecontinental shelf (i.e., near offshore waters of the state ofTexas). The goal of the study was to assess and analyze theexisting data from historical hydrocarbon industr y activitiesin a regional transect of the Texas coast in order to verifythe ability of the Miocene age rocks of the region to safelyand permanently store large amounts of anthropogenic(industrial) CO2.The authors¿ intent in producing this atlas is to providea resource for exploring the geological CO2 sequestrationpotential of the near offshore waters of the state of Texas(f ig. 1) by populating the atlas with both large-scale regionalqualitative and detailed quantitative information that canhelp operators to quickly assess CO2 sequestration potentialat specif ic sites. This is the f irst comprehensive attempt todo this for the near offshore in the Gulf Coast and UnitedStates.

Geo-Texas
Author: Eric R. SwansonPublisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 9780890966822
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Geo-Texas succeeds in bringing together astronomy, geology, meteorology, oceanography, and environmental studies in a highly informative, one-of-a-kind guide to Earth sciences in the Lone Star State. Eric R. Swanson draws on the latest scientific findings in treating the natural history of Texas from the oldest known rock, through the age of the dinosaurs, to the geologic present, from the early development of Texas' water and land resources to the current crisis of environmental pollution. In examining Texas natural sciences-and the abiding connection between Texans and their physical surroundings-Geo-Texas is engagingly anecdotal and draws freely on the wry humor with which Texans have always observed and regarded their environment. Entertaining accounts of natural phenomena, such as a meteorite scoring a direct hit on a swimming pool and a Texas twister sweeping up a farmer and returning him to earth unharmed, supplement the scholarship in each chapter to show how cultural and scientific issues converge. Students and teachers of Texas Earth science will find Geo-Texas indispensable. With more than eighty illustrations and valuable appendices listing rock hound clubs, Earth science organizations, and points of interest throughout the state, Geo-Texas will also appeal to the general reader and serve as the Earth science guide for lovers of Texas and its multifaceted environment.

Author: Salt Tectonics
Author: Martin P. A. JacksonPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316785114
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 515
Book Description
Salt tectonics is the study of how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional forms that result. A fascinating branch of geology in itself, salt tectonics is also vitally important to the petroleum industry. Covering the entire scale from the microscopic to the continental, this textbook is an unrivalled consolidation of all topics related to salt tectonics: evaporite deposition and flow, salt structures, salt systems, and practical applications. Coverage of the principles of salt tectonics is supported by more than 600 color illustrations, including 200 seismic images captured by state-of-the-art geophysical techniques and tectonic models from the Applied Geodynamics Laboratory at the University of Texas, Austin. These combine to provide a cohesive and wide-ranging insight into this extremely visual subject. This is the definitive practical handbook for professional geologists and geophysicists in the petroleum industry, an invaluable textbook for graduate students, and a reference textbook for researchers in various geoscience fields.
