Airborne gamma-radiation survey of the Jabel Ishmas Quadrangle, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Vincent J. Flanigan
1975, Open-File Report 75-190
An airborne gamma-radiation survey system, which includes digital recording and automatic data processing procedures developed by the U. S. Geological Survey Saudi Arabian Project, is used to collect spectral gamma-radiation data as an aid to regional geologic mapping of pediment areas on the Arabian Shield. The areal extent of rock...
Reconnaissance of the geology and ore mineralization in part of the Chagai District, Pakistan
Raymond H. Nagell
1975, Open-File Report 75-550
The Chagai District of the Quetta Division is in the northwestern part of Pakistan. Igneous activity during the Himalayan orogeny included the extrusion of horizontally layered andesites of the Cretaceous Sinjrani Volcanic Group, emplacement of monzonitic stocks of the Cretaceous Chagai intrusions, and the extrusion of flows and tuffs of the...
Sulfur, fluorspar, magnesite, and aluminous chromite in Pakistan
Raymond H. Nagell
1975, Open-File Report 75-496
Reports and analyses on elemental sulfur, fluorspar, magnesite, and aluminous chromite were reviewed for the purpose of identifying and categorizing the known deposits, and to indicate those which seem to merit further study on the basis of available information. General conclusions drawn from the study are: (1) Although aluminous chromite...

Geology of the Midnite uranium mine, Stevens County, Washington; a preliminary report
J. Thomas Nash, Norman J. Lehrman
1975, Open-File Report 75-402
The Midnite mine is one of only two mines in the United States currently producing uranium from discordant deposits in crystalline host rocks. Ore bodies are in metamorphosed steeply dipping Precambrian pelitic and calcareous rocks of a roof pendant adjacent to a Cretaceous(?) porphyritic quartz monzonite pluton. Production during 14...

Physical factors determining the fraction of stored energy recoverable from hydrothermal convection systems and conduction-dominated areas
Manuel Nathenson
1975, Open-File Report 75-525
This report contains background analyses for the estimates of Nathenson and Muffler (1975) of geothermal resources in hydrothermal convection systems and conduction-dominated areas. The first section discusses heat and fluid recharge potential of geothermal reservoirs. The second section analyzes the physical factors that determine the fraction of stored energy obtainable...
Some reservoir engineering calculations for the vapor-dominated system at Larderello, Italy
Manuel Nathenson
1975, Open-File Report 75-142
Various reservoir properties are calculated for the Larderello vapor-dominated system using available published data. Bottom-hole flowing properties are calculated from measured wellhead data. Whereas wellhead temperatures measured at a particular time tend to change systematically with changes in flow and pressure, calculated bottom-hole temperatures tend to be constant for two...
Water availability of Blount County, Alabama
Robert J. Faust, Joe R. Harkins
1975, Open-File Report 75-453
Ground water is obtained mostly from limestone and dolomite aquifers along the Sequatchie anticline and Murphrees Valley anticline and. from sandstone aquifers in Sand Mountain and Blount Mountain synclinal areas. Wells tapping some limestone and dolomite aquifers produce as much as 1.4 mgd (million gallons per day). Wells completed in...

Ground water in the middle Arkansas River basin, Kansas and Oklahoma
Stuart Wesley Fader, Robert B. Morton
1975, Open-File Report 75-367
Ground water in the Middle Arkansas River basin occurs in consolidated rocks and unconsolidated deposits. Wells for domestic and stock supply generally can be drilled successfully in consolidated rocks. Wells for large-scale municipal, industrial, and irrigation supplies generally are successful in areas underlain by saturated unconsolidated deposits of sand and...

1975, Open-File Report 75-476
Large quantities of ground water and surface water are available in Washington County. Major sources of ground water are the Gosport Sand and Lisbon Formation undifferentiated, the Miocene Series undifferentiated, and alluvium and low terrace deposits. The Miocene, the most productive source of ground water, will yield 0.5 to 1.0...
