Select ESC Publications and White Papers

Yes... this page is under construction...

Though the years, ESC staff members have published numerous articles, given many presentations (with published abstracts) and issued numerous "white papers". The following is a select list of links to our publications. In attempt to simplify things, we have organized our publications by generalized topics. We hope that you find something useful, or at least interesting.

Book of Maps:

ESC Houston – Galveston Region Pipeline Atlas: A visual atlas of the Houston–Galveston region’s pipeline network, illustrating major crude, refined product, natural gas, NGL, and CO₂ corridors and how they connect ports, refineries, storage hubs, and industrial centers across the Gulf Coast. - Version: MAY 2026 

Docks and Terminals:

ESC Terminal Design Philosophy: Terminal design stands out as a core competency at ESC. We have a long and successful history in the field of terminal design and implementation. This white paper conveys our views on effective and efficient terminal design.

Exploration and Production Geoscience:

ESC Regional Exploration in Iraq: ESC personnel have worked with the petroleum geology of Iraq for more than 20 years. This document gives a brief overview of some of our regional-scale work.

ESC Coalbed Methane Exploration: Our experience and expertise at ESC span a broad range of oil and gas exploration and production scenarios, including work with coalbed methane (CBM) properties. This presentation gives insight into both our conventional views of CBM and hints at some of our more unconventional treatments of the CBM exploration.
