The field is a structural trap formed by an anticline on the downthrown side of the Vicksburg Fault Zone; the faulting is due to "large-scale gravity slumping", these types of faults are referred to as growth faults, which are normal faults that occur with sedimentation. Most of the oil and half the gas is produced at depths between 4500–6000 feet, from 15 oil reservoirs and 4 gas reservoirs in the Oligocene Frio Formation sandstones deposited during Marine regression, notably the "5900 foot sand", the "5800 foot sand", the "5500 foot sand" and the "5200 foot sand".

Gas with some oil is found above these sandstones in the Oligocene Anahuac Formation, deposited in a Marine transgression, notably the "4400 foot Greta sand".

The Pod is the second studio album by American rock band Ween, released on September 20, 1991 by Shimmy Disc. The album was recorded on two tapes made by Ween from January to October 1990, at the Pod on Van Sant Road in Solebury Township, Pennsylvania; the tapes were titled the Big Timmy Wasserman tape. Both tapes contain not only demo versions of songs on the album, but many outtakes not used on any album or tracks used on future albums; the Pod, according to Ween lore, was written under the influence of Scotchgard. However, when their fans began huffing Scotchgard, it was refuted by Gene Ween and Dean Ween themselves as being "the most slime-bag thing we could think of"; the Pod has since been remastered and reissued by Elektra Records, after the relative success of Ween albums such as Pure Guava and Chocolate and Cheese. Shimmy Disc released a vinyl version in 1991; the Pod is Ween's longest studio album, is considered to be one of their best. All of the songs have a murky, sludgy quality to them, due to being recorded on a Tascam four-track cassette recorder, many of the vocals are manipulated in strange ways.

The album contains bizarre lyrical content attributed to the fact that Dean and Gene both came down with cases of mononucleosis during the recording of the album, as well as their notorious relationship with huffing. The song "Alone" borrows the guitar riff/melody from Robyn Hitchcock's "The Bones in the Ground"; the album takes its name from the band's apartment where the album was recorded, which the band nicknamed "The Pod". The album's cover art is a takeoff of the 1975; the copy of the Leonard Cohen record that Ween used had purportedly belonged to Dean Ween's mother, Eileen Ween. In 1993, the album was named one of the 20 best albums of 1992 by Spin. "The Stallion" was not listed on the covers of original Shimmy Disc releases, although the song is present as track #5. From the Shimmy-Disc CD: "Recorded by Dean and Gene Ween on a Tascam four-track cassette recorder between January and October 1990. All songs recorded at the Pod, where we lived for 10 months; the Pod was scenically located on Van Sant Road in Pennsylvania.

Our apartment was a haven for flies. In the time this album was completed, we filled up 3,600 hours of tape, inhaled 5 cans of Scotchgard; this album was produced and mixed by Andrew Weiss at the Zion House of Flesh, New Jersey. Straight to DAT Mang. Mean Ween played the bass on "Alone" and that's him on the cover doin' up some Scotchguard powered bongs. We got evicted on October 1, 1991, but Dave Ayers says.

The Mary Ellis grave is marked by an 1828 gravestone located in the parking lot of a Loew's movie theatre in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The Mary Ellis grave is one of several on the small plot, all the interred being interrelated. After Mary Ellis's burial, the family home, property became the site for the Great Eastern Discount Department Store and, after that went out of business in the early-to-mid-1970s, the Route 1 Flea Market, and since about the late 1990s, the site contains an AMC Theater. The grave remained in, it rests about seven feet above the level of the parking lot since the site was re-graded for development. Mary Ellis was a spinster in New Jersey. According to oral tradition, she was seduced by a sea captain, he never returned and she would come to the spot where her grave now stands, each day, to look for his ship in the Raritan River in New Brunswick. Her story has been suggested as the inspiration for the 1972 pop song "Brandy"; the lyrics tell of Brandy, a barmaid in a port town.

She wins the admiration of many of the sailors, but cannot return their feelings — the love of her life was unwilling to abandon his true love, the sea. However Elliot Lurie, lead guitarist for Looking Glass and writer/singer of the song, said in an interview that the lyrics were loosely based on a girl he knew in real life named "Randye" but he changed the name to "Brandy" to remove the ambiguity of the gender. While the stories may be similar, the song has nothing to do with Mary Ellis. “No, that’s an incredible coincidence,” he said. “I write fiction.” Mildred Moody who married Thomas M. Evans Thomas M.
