Hydraulic-fracturing measurmements in two boreholes near the Spent Fuel Test-Climax, Climax Stock, Nevada Test Site
William L. Ellis
1983, Open-File Report 83-406
Hydraulic-fracturing measurements are used to infer the magnitude of the least principal stress in the vicinity of the Spent Fuel Test-Climax, located in the Climax stock at the Nevada Test Site. The measurements, made at various depths in two exploratory boreholes, suggest that the local stress field is not uniform....
Preliminary assessment of in-situ geomechanical characteristics in drill hole USW G-1, Yucca Mountain, Nevada
William L. Ellis, Henri S. Swolfs
1983, Open-File Report 83-401
Observations made during drilling and subsequent testing of the USW G-1 drill hole, Yucca Mountain, Nevada, provide qualitative insights into the in- situ geomechanical characteristics of the layered tuff units penetrated by the hole. Substantial drilling-fluid losses, and the occurrence of drilling-induced fracturing, are understandable in terms of the low,...

Reconnaissance geology of the Ishash Quadrangle, sheet 26/39C, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
G. M. Fairer
1983, Open-File Report 83-821
The Ishash quadrangle occupies an area of about 2,725 km2 on the northern border of the Precambrian shield in north-central Saudi Arabia between lat 26?00' and 26?30' N. and long 39?00' and 39?30' E. The northern quarter is covered by Cambrian Siq Sandstone and the southeastern corner is covered by...
Ground-water data for Michigan 1982
G.C. Huffman
1983, Open-File Report 83-753
Water levels, locations, depths, and aquifers tapped are given for 117 observation wells. Tabulated data include extremes of water levels for 1982 and for the period of record, pumpage of most major ground-water users in the State, and quality data on selected wells. The largest reported user of ground-water, the...

The mineral resource potential of the Wadi Habawnah and Najran quadrangles, sheets 17/44A and 17/44C, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Michael D. Fenton
1983, Open-File Report 83-9
The metallic resource potential of the Wadi Habawnah and Najran quadrangles in the southern Precambrian Arabian Shield has been determined primarily by reconnaissance rock geochemistry, limited wadi-sediment and colluvium geochemistry, and gossanous and ferruginous outcrop geochemistry. These surveys were guided by geological information acquired during previous reconnaissance mapping. Locally anomalous...

Ground-water quality data for Oklahoma, 1981
Dale M. Ferree
1983, Open-File Report 83-686
The U.S. Geological Survey has collected data on Oklahoma's ground-water resources since 1934. Most of these data were collected as part of specific ground-water studies conducted in cooperation with various Federal, State, and local agencies. Ground-water quality data, as well as data on construction, yield, water levels, and other physical...
