The general stratigraphic architecture of the Beeman-Holder interval is well established by previous studies, but we continue to visit and map localized areas of the outcrop to improve our understanding of the complex interplay of siliciclastic and carbonate elements across this important time period and to leverage our ability to capture the high-resolution images of the exposures with detailed o. [...] Integration of geomechanical-derived fault attributes into models provides for a more realistic representation of the conditions at the time of sedimentation and contributes to a deeper understanding of fault timing, uplift mechanisms, sedimentation and overall geologic evolution of the Delaware Basin and the Central Basin Platform. [...] Cretaceous (Albian-Santonian) Fault-Related Fracture Diagenesis Age Dating to Delineate the Influence of Compressional Tectonics in the Texas Foreland Studying the age of fault-related fractures in Texas provides a unique and valuable insight into the geologic history, petroleum systems, and reservoir characterization of the region often described as unaffected by the Carbonate Reservoir Character. [...] The fractures within this area hold the key to understanding the formation and evolution of fractures that are crucial for determining the permeability and porosity of the reservoir rocks, influencing fluid flow and hydrocarbon migration. [...] The integration of U-Pb dating with studies of fracture diagenesis offers a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamic geological history of the Cretaceous rocks in Texas, crucial for reservoir characterization and resource assessment in the oil and gas industry.
