Background studies for appraising subsidence in the Texas Gulf Coast region
B. E. Lofgren
1977, Open-File Report 77-412
Significant ground movement has accompanied the extraction of large quantities of fluids from the subsurface at many localities. The possibility of both horizontal and vertical ground movement--subsidence, fissuring, growth faulting--in the Gulf Coast region, caused by the withdrawal of large volumes of deep formation fluids, is of major concern.Although widespread...
