Edwards-Trinity (Plateau) Aquifer 2D Seismic Study
Project Summary:
The objectives are to 1) identify seismic lines that may resolve the Edwards-Trinity formations in the study area and 2) lease select seismic lines to contribute to the structural understanding of the Aquifer.

Stakeholders will have access to a report displaying reprocessed seismic lines demonstrating the quality of seismic that may be obtained, and the structural characteristic of the Edwards-Trinity (Plateau) Aquifer in Kinney County. The report will also include an analysis of the feasibility of existing seismic lines for use in a brackish aquifer study, and the steps of how to reprocess and depth convert 2D seismic data.
