Post-orogenic peralkaline and calc-alkaline granites and associated mineralization of the Arabian Shield, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
D. B. Stoeser, James Earl Elliott
1979, Open-File Report 79-1323
Following a long period of island arc-like orogenic activity, post-orogenic granites of Pan-African age (670-550 m.y.) were emplaced throughout the Arabian Shield. Most of these rocks are typical subsolvus calc-alkaline biotite monzogranite. The early Pan-African granites are associated with widespread small tholeiitic gabbro intrusions, many of which are layered. The...
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...

1979, Open-File Report 79-1462
During 1975, the Pacific-Arctic Branch of the Office of Marine Geology installed a seismic system onboard the USGS vessel S.P. Lee. The major components of the system include a Bolt 5 air gun array, a 2400 meter SEI streamer, and a GUS high density recording system. Various high resolution/single channel...
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...

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...

Discharge of saltwater from Permian rocks to major stream-aquifer systems in central and south-central Kansas
Anthony J. Gogel
1979, Open-File Report 79-1055
Saline-water inflow from Permian rocks has resulted in the degradation of freshwater systems in several areas of central and south-central Kansas. Solution of evaporite beds has occurred along the eastern edge of the Wellington Formation, chiefly within the Hutchinson Salt Member and associated gypsum units. The solution, caused by leakage...
