Structural influences on geomorphic processes and physiographic features, Texas Panhandle: Technical issues in siting a nuclear-waste repository

South-central United States well-bore breakout-data catalog

“…29). This finding agrees well with a hydrofracture measurement from central Oklahoma of N. 65° E. (Zoback and Zoback, 1980) and the Texas Panhandle of N. J|0°-60° E. (Gustavson and Budnik, 1985), and with the northeast-southwest compressive stress field inferred for the Midcontinent province (Zoback and Zoback, 1980). Future publications will address attempts to resolve the apparent ambiguities in well-bore elongation orientations among wells in several subareas (Arkoma, Palo Duro-Dalhart, and Marietta-Ardmore Basins).…”

“…the radius or maximum frequency (r), (5) circular mean of the data, and (6) angular deviation of the data. well in which a hydrofracture measurement was made CZoback and Zoback, 1980;Gustavson andBudnik, 1985, 1985).…”

In situ stress analysis of wellbore break-outs from Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle

“…4) ortheast (Gustavson and Budnik, 1985;Gustavson and Finley, 1985). Although the bimodal trends of these fractures are somewhat random, agreement does exist between the bimodal trends of subsurface near-vertical fractures (Gustavson and Budnik, 1985) observed in the Stone and Webster Holtzclaw No. 1 well ( fig.…”

“…A possible example of this process is given by Gustavson and Budnik (1985) in their discussion of the preferred northeast orientation of fracture-related solution features in the Permian saltbearing stratigraphy of the Texas Panhandle and northeast-oriented hydraulic fractures induced in the Stone and Webster Holtzclaw No. 1 well (fig.…”
