Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6240227

The Gulf Coast of Texas is underlain by moderate temperature geothermal resources contained in overpressured sediments below depths of about 10,000 feet. A comprehensive legal research project was proposed to examine the complex legal-regulatory framework within which any development these geopressured resources would have to occur. Legal issues affecting ownership of the geopressured resources were examined.
