Hydrologic data, 1974-77, Stovepipe Wells Hotel area, Death Valley National Monument, Inyo County, California
Charles Edwin Lamb, D.J. Downing
1979, Open-File Report 79-203
Ground-water levels in most wells did not change significantly from 1974 to 1977 in the Stovepipe Wells Hotel area. The average water-level decline was less than 0.10 foot between August 1974 and August 1977 in 10 observation wells. Water-level contours show a depression centered on the two pumping wells, but...

1979, Open-File Report 79-264
Analysis of side-scan sonar, subbottom profiler, processed sparker, and fathometer data (approximately 5060 km) from the 136 blocks in the proposed Outer Continental Shelf Lease Sale 49 disclosed features that are potential geologic hazards to oil and gas exploration and development operations. These potential hazards are past mass sediment movement...

A study of reservoir characteristics of the Nanushuk and Colville groups, Umiat test well 11, National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska
J. E. Fox, P. W. Lambert, Janet K. Pitman, C.H. Wu
1979, Circular 820
Cretaceous sandstones in the Umiat Anticline contain the largest volume of oil discovered to date in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska. Umiat test well 11, although dry and abandoned, penetrated the most complete sequence of Cretaceous rocks in the Umiat area. Cretaceous formations cored (oldest to youngest) were the...
Federal onshore oil and gas lease bonus bids, 1972-1977: Statistical studies
John Lohrenz, John A. Pederson
1979, Open-File Report 79-1251
We studied the statistical behavior of Federal onshore oil and gas lease bonus bids. Like offshore bids, these bids exhibited (a) occasional occurrences of low, noise bids, (b) apparent lognormality, (c) standard deviations (using natural logarithms) close to one, (d) apparent disparities between money left on the table given random...
Geologic map of the Cebrenia quadrangle of Mars
W. E. Elston
1979, IMAP 1140
Most of the Cebrenia quadrangle (lat 30˚ to 65˚ N., long 180˚ to 240˚ W.) is in the circumpolar plains of Mars. Craters from an early episode of intense bombardment have been largely obliterated by later volcanism, tectonism, erosion, and sedimentation by wind and water, and by circumpolar glacial...
