Ellenburger Group Flow Model Data for Oilfield Water Disposal in Texas

Four data files from a 2021 AAPG Bulletin paper by R.S. Gao provide input, calibration, and results for a flow model. The model examines low pressure build-up from large-volume oilfield water disposal in the Ellenburger Group of the Fort Worth Basin, North-Central Texas. Data is hosted by the Texas Data Repository and was last updated in March 2024.

Use Cases

• Calibrate subsurface flow models based on the provided calibration data.
• Simulate pressure build-up from fluid injection using the model input parameters.
• Validate geological reservoir models against the published model results.
• Study the hydrogeological properties of the Ellenburger Group carbonate formation.

Strengths

• Data is directly tied to a peer-reviewed publication in the AAPG Bulletin (2021).
• Includes an explanatory readme file to aid in data interpretation.
• Archive contains four distinct files covering input, calibration, and results for a complete modeling workflow.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
