Lignite Occurrence in Relation to Depositional Facies, Eocene Wilcox Group, Sabine Uplift Area, East Texas--Regional and Local Comparative Studies: ABSTRACT

Lignite occurrence was related to sandbody geometry in two subsurface studies: a 12-county regional study and a local study of the Trawick gas field area, north-central Nacogdoches County. For both studies, the Wilcox Group was informally divided into lower progradational (deltaic) and upper aggradational (fluvial) units. The local study utilized closely spaced data to investigate a more detailed Wilcox stratigraphy. The most continuous lignite-bearing zone lies at the transition between lower and upper Wilcox strata. Mapping of lignite occurrence in both studies shows this zone to be coincident with distributary channels indicative of delta-plain settings. Lignites and laterally equivalent muds rest on platforms of sandy sediments. Initiation of peat accumulation in interdistributary basins, with upward and subsequent lateral development as blanket peat, is inferred from the local study. Thickest and most laterally extensive seams occur in Shelby and Panola Counties on the flanks of major delta lobes. Thick upper Wilcox lignites (> 5 ft, 1.5 m) occur regionally between major fluvial channel sand belts and cap 30 to 40-ft (9 to 12-m) upward-coarsening sequences (crevasse splays?). These lignites are surface-mined in Panola and Harrison Counties at Martin Lake and Darco. Westward, in northern Cherokee County, our drilling shows thick lignites (up to 11 ft, 3.4 m) have limited lateral extent in channel sand belt areas. Similarly, the local study lies within a major sand belt; small interchannel basins limit lateral continuity of lignites. End_of_Article - Last_Page 448------------

Location of Gilmer Shelf Margin, Upper Jurassic, East Texas Basin: ABSTRACT

Regional stratigraphic correlations, based on wireline logs, have defined a distinctive sequence of shales within the Bossier Formation. This lower Bossier shale member, of near constant thickness, extends across the East Texas basin into Louisiana. The overlying upper Bossier shale member thickens markedly to the south and east but northward and westward intertongues with Schuler Formation siliciclastics. Below the lower Bossier shale member a shale-dominated sequence with carbonates exists in some parts of the East Texas basin. This Gilmer shale member thickens to over 500 ft (150 m) in Panola and Harrison Counties and Louisiana, but is thin or absent over the Gilmer shelf margin, where lower Bossier shales rest on Gilmer limestone buildups. Across the center of the Eas Texas basin the Gilmer shales average 100-150 ft (30-45 m). The continuation of the conformable, uniform lower Bossier shale member across the basin implies some time equivalence of, at the least, the thicker Gilmer shales with the massive undifferentiated Gilmer/Smackover carbonates within the East Texas basin. The Gilmer shelf margin is situated where this carbonate succession passes laterally into eastward-derived shales; the margin is east-facing and east of the basin depocenter, trending through Upshur, Smith, and Rusk Counties. A subsidiary trend in the Gilmer limestone on the northwestern and western flanks of the basin is controlled by the presence of an underlying Buckner carbonate barrier. Only in the northeast of the basin is the Gilmer shelf margin coincident with earlier shelf edges. This reevaluation of the Gilmer shelf margin presents a major target for future hydrocarbon exploration. End_of_Article - Last_Page 484------------

Effects of Storms on Rice Rats Inhabiting Coastal Marshes

During 1979, three storms with winds in excess of 73 km/hr and tides up to 1.5 m above normal struck a section of the Mississippi coast where a population study of the rice rat, Oryzomys palusrris, was in progress. There were no noticeable effects on population levels, and many individual animals survived the storms. INTRODUCTION The rice rat, Oryzomys palustris, is a semiaquatic mammal that occurs in wetland habitats throughout the southeastern United States. Throughout most of its range, 0. palustris is the most abundant small mammal in coastal marshes. It is also the most common mammal on many offshore islands in the northern Gulf of Mexico (Negus et al. 1961; personal observation). The tidal marsh and insular habitats of rice rats are occasionally subjected to devastating storms; and yet the rats appear either to survive these storms or to rapidly recolonize immediately following them. MATERIALS AND METHODS Since January 1979 I have been monitoring a rice rat population on the northern shore of St. Louis Bay in Harrison County, Mississippi. Two study grids about 1 km apart have been live-trapped quarterly. These grids have trapping stations placed at 15-m intervals. A 300-mm square floating platform that rises and falls with the tides is placed at each station. Each sampling session consists of one day of prebaiting the platforms with a mixture of oatflakes, peanut butter and sardines followed by four or five days of live-trapping. One Sherman live-trap is used on each platform. All animals captured are weighed, sexed, checked for reproductive condition, marked by toe clipping, and released. The westemmost grid is 12 stations long and 4 stations deep. Its long axis parallels shore. Water depth on its southern edge is about 400 mm at normal high tide. The northern edge parallels the marshforest ecotone and it is dry at normal high tide. The other grid consists of 100 stations in a 10 x 10 pattern. It extends from the forest-marsh ecotone for 135 m out into the marsh. Although the grid is about 0.5 km from shore, the southem half is flooded to a depth of about 300 mm daily by overflow from tidal creeks in the area. In the spring and summer of 1979 three storms had an impact on the area. A storm in mid-April produced a tide of 1 m above normal and winds gusting to about 40 knots. Manuscript received July 29, 1981; accepted September 30,1981. Hurricane Bob struck the area on July 1 1 with a storm tide of 1.5 m and winds up to 64 knots. On August 12, the western edge of Hurricane Frederick passed through with 74-knot winds but no storm tides, as the winds were from the north. The April storm and Hurricane Bob completely inundated both grids with a tidh surge that swept away all the trapping platforms and deposited them in the forest, 50-100 m to the north. The duration of these storm tides was 2-4 hrs.

What Is the Opportunity Cost of Moving? Reconsideration of the Effects of Distance on Migration

Why should an out-migrant from Harrison County, West Virginia require an increase in annual income of more than $550 to induce him to leave the state when the transportation cost for him and his family could not exceed $170? Why should a migrant in Ghana require an increase in annual income of ?10 to induce him to move 16 miles when the transportation cost is less than 1 penny per mile? Why should a migrant in Brazil require an annual income gain of 540 cruzeiros to be willing to move 330 kilometers when the transportation cost for such a move is only 75 cruzeiros ?1 These results of recent econometric studies provide evidence that distance is a substantial deterrent to migration. In fact the relationship between distance and migration has been observed in almost every statistical study of migration-studies which cover a time span from the middle of the nineteenth century to the present and include countries as spatially and culturally diverse as Sweden, and the United States.2 Despite the fact that the deterrent effect of distance on * authors are members of the Departments of Economics and Quantitative Methods at the University of Illinois at Chicago Circle, respectively.

Reservoir Barrier and Polymer Waterflood, Northeast Hallsville Crane Unit

As a result of field-wide polymer injection, recovery in this unit exceeded by 40 percent the estimated recovery for an ordinary waterflood, and at an average cost of just 33 cents per barrel. Introduction The Northeast Hallsville Crane unit operated by Hunt Oil Co. was one of the first field-wide applications of a polymer flood. Since this field is well along in the final stages of be flood project, it has been possible to look at the effects of polymer injection and draw some conclusions about the use of these chemicals. The original purpose of polymer use in this project was to create a viscous barrier between the oil zone and a large associated gas cap. However, flood response from nearby producers as a result of the barrier placement was encouraging enough to extend the use of polymers to the central area of the oil zone, where early water breakthrough had been experienced. Early results from these attempts at using polymers to improve waterflood recovery were favorable. Ultimately a total of 313,000 lb of polymer was injected into 10 of the 15 unit injectors. Polymer injection into the Northeast Hallsville Crane unit generally has been both technically and economically successful. Certainly, the effectiveness of the reservoir barrier has been well established. As for improvement of oil recoveries by mobility control, it was found that higher polymer amounts resulted in higher oil recoveries over the range of polymer treatments used. Substantially better results were achieved in areas where there was no water injection prior to the polymer slug injection. prior to the polymer slug injection. Development History The Northeast Hallsville Crane unit is about 3 miles northwest of the town of Marshall in Harrison County, Tex. Unit production is from the Crane zone of the middle Pettit formation, a thin oolitic limestone pay at a depth of about 6,900 ft. The map in Fig. 1 pay at a depth of about 6,900 ft. The map in Fig. 1 shows the location and areal extent of the Crane porosity development and its relation to the large porosity development and its relation to the large associated Woodlawn gas field. The Crane pay in this area was first discovered in 1950 as a gas producing reservoir in the Woodlawn portion of the field. Oil production was established portion of the field. Oil production was established in the Northeast Hallsville field in 1956 as the reservoir was developed to the west. Reservoir lists had been essentially defined by early 1960 after 42 wells had been drilled. Primary oil production peaked in March, 1959, at 42,500 bbl/month. Early withdrawals from the gas zone had caused migration of oil into the gas cap by the time of the oil zone development. As a result, the gas-oil contact was not found as a clearly defined structural level but was established as a broad transition zone between approximately 6,300 and 6,400 ft subsea. The extreme volatility of the crude oil also contributed to the lack of a clearly defined gas-oil contact. JPT P. 1130

Strepsiptera from the Mississippi Coast

Triozocera mexicana Pierce, Caenocholax fenyesi Pierce, and Elenchus koebeli (Pierce), all new records for Mississippi, were the Strepsiptera collected in a light trap study. Around forty light traps were operated in 1966, for a period of 2-6 months during the season of activity, in various locations in southern Mississippi. Strepsiptera were extremely rare, with very small numbers of males being found in only 20 of the traps. Three species, all of which represent new state records, were encountered. Their distribution is given in Table 1. Triozocera mexicana Pierce: 196 specimens were collected between mid-April and mid-September. Most of the material, however, was collected in the last week of April, the first week of May, the second half of July, and the third week of August. Caenocholax fenyesi Pierce: Nine specimens were collected, two of them from Louisiana at the Junction of Hwy. 90 and 190. Elenchus koebeli (Pierce) : Seven specimens were collected, one of them from Avery Marsh, St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. TABLE 1.-STREPSIPTERA MALES COLLECTED IN SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI.

The Distribution of Some Snakes in Mississippi

The ranges of certain snakes in Mississippi as given in the current check list (Schmidt, 1953), and in general references (Klauber, 1956; Wright and Wright, 1957) require modifications, as discussed below. Schmidt does not include Mississippi in the ranges of the following forms: Natrix septemvittata, Natrix sipedon fasciata, Storeria occipitomaculata obscura, Heterodon simus, Abastor erythrogrammus, and Coluber constrictor priapus. Sistrurus miliarius streckeri occurs in Western , Natrix sipedon pleuralis is listed for northern Mississippi , Natrix sipedon confluens is credited to . extreme western Mississippi, and Pituophis melanoleucus lodingi is recorded from Harrison County, Mississippi. Actually, all of these snakes occur in the state, and the ranges of the last three have been previously extended (Cook, 1943; Conant, 1956; Cliburn, 1957). The ranges of the following forms according to Wright and Wright (loc. cit.) also require discussion: Elaphe guttata, Farancia abacura reinwardti, Haldea striatula, Lampropeltis doliata doliata, Natrix grahami, Natrix taxispilota taxispilota, Natrix taxispilota rhombifera, Rhadinea flavilata, Thamnophis sauritus, Tantilla coronata coronata, Abastor erythrogrammus, Coluber constrictor priapus, Natrix septemvittata, Pituophis melanoleucus lodingi, and Storeria occipitomaculata obscura. Natrix grahami Baird and Girard.-The Wrights do not list this species for Cook records it in the following counties: Carroll (1), Chickasaw (1), Coahoma (3), Holmes (1), Lauderdale (1), Sunflower (9) and Warren (2). The collection of Mississippi Southern College contains specimens from Bolivar and Sunflower counties. Natrix septemvittata Say.-Cook reports three specimens: Lauderdale (2) and Forrest (1) counties. These records extend the range in eastern Mississippi southward from that of Wright and Wright. A female from Lauderdal.i County measures 25.5 inches in total length and 5.3 inches in tail length. It contains 15 embryos. Examination of this specimen revealed that the two ventral dark stripes are vestigial; the stripes are limited to the neck region and occur toward the lateral margins of the ventral plates, rather than along the mid-venter. The rest of the venter is immaculate slate gray (in formaldehyde). All scale rows are keeled. Scale counts and measurements are as follows: subcaudals, 82; ventrals, 135; ratio of subcaudals/ventrals, .603; scale rows, 19; supralabials, 7-7; infralabials, 10-10; postoculars, 2-2; preoculars, 2-2; anterior temporals, 1-1; posterior temporals, 2-2; ratio of tail length/total length, .206.
