- The Bureau of Economic Geology was established in 1909 as a successor to the
Texas Geological Survey and the Texas Mineral Survey. Today the Bureau
functions as a research unit of The University of Texas at Austin, the State
Geological Survey, and the Regional Lead Organization for the Petroleum
Technology Transfer Council.
The Bureau provides wide-ranging advisory, technical, informational, and
research-based services to industries, nonprofit organizations, and Federal,
State, and local agencies. The Bureau also provides facilities and management
to the office of Publication Sales, Core Research Laboratories, and the
Geophysical Log Facility, all of which serve the Public.
