1977 A related Prospect for Geothermal; I don't know how ,if at all it relates to todays prospect.

Several prospective geothermal fairways have been identified in the Frio Formation of Kenedy, Nueces, Matagorda, and Brazoria Counties. However, only the prospect in the Brazoria Fairway (the Austin Bayou Prospect) meets all of the requirements of the ideal geopressured geothermal prospect. The Austin Bayou Prospect contains up to 1,200 feet of sand with hundreds of millidarcies permeability below 13,500 feet in depth. The optimal sand thickness extends over an area of at least 60 square miles; subsurface temperatures are as high as 330/sup 0/F. Enormous reservoirs extending over hundreds of square miles with hundreds of millidarcies permeability predicted by previous workers have not been found in the Frio. However, initial studies indicate that the smaller reservoirs which are being delineated are capable of producing significant quantities of thermal energy and methane.
