An Analysis of Focal Parameters with Application to West Texas Micro-Earthquakes
… magnitudes and focal mechanism solutions in the Permian Basin. Seismic anisotropy, a typical property in fractured sedimentary rocks, may bias the identification of the location of microseismic events if using isotropic models, a common practice in seismic monitoring. To quantitatively assess …

The sedimentology and stratigraphy of Salt Creek Field, Kent County, Texas
… of the largest hydrocarbon accumulations in the Permian Basin, with a cumulative production of more than 2.7 Bbbl since 1948. This atoll is contemporaneous with the Late Paleozoic Ice Age (LPIA), perhaps the best-known Phanerozoic phase of glaciation after the Pleistocene. The Pennsylvanian-Early …
