Geological Studies & Resources
The folks at
IACX are steeped in the tradition of the Exploration & Production
Industry. We’ve prospected before, and
we’ll probably prospect again. In this
page, we will post studies, poster sessions or any other information, from time
to time, that may be of interest to the studious prospector. While we don’t warrant any of the information
within these studies, we are able to say that we found them to be well
researched, thoroughly documented, thought provoking and worthy of sharing.
YATES GAS STUDIES (West Texas - Permian Basin)
These studies were provided to IACX by the University of Texas - Bureau of Economic Geology, in the form of poster sessions. IACX reformatted these posters to 8.5" by 11" format for ease-of-review purposes. Aside from matters of reformatting, these studies are unabridged.

QUEEN SAND (West Texas and SE New Mexico)
Swabbed this one from a DoE CD picked up from a recent trade fair. The Queen Sand is a known producer of low-Btu gas (high nitrogen), though mainly in SE New Mexico. While this study looks at oil production from this sand, it may still be relevant for other areas of the play

KANSAS (Central Kansas Uplift, Nemaha Uplift, Hugoton Basin)
This study was provided to IACX by Dr. David Newell of the Kansas Geological Survey. Originally presented as a poster for an AAPG conference. IACX reformatted this into an 8.5" by 11" format for ease-of-review
purposes. Aside from matters of reformatting, this study is
unabridged.
