Book Description
Estimates of the amount of heavy oil in place in parts of Western Missouri, Eastern Kansas, and northeastern Oklahoma have ranged from a few million barrels to 75 billion barrels. This report is the result of a grant utilizing U.S. Geological Survey funds under Grant No. 14-08-0001-Gable for Missouri's part of the initial phase of a comprehensive tri-state coordinated study detailing the extent and characteristics of the heavy oil deposits. This project was conducted in three stages: 1. compilation of existing data; 2. geologic mapping; and 3. drilling of test holes along county and township road rights-of-way. Estimates of the oil in place for the study area are revised downward from an earlier figure of over one billion barrels to 287 million barrels. Oil-bearing deposits occur generally within two broad, northwest-trending bands. Columnized sections, and cross sections portraying correlation of the rock units present are included, as well as core and sample descriptions of the test holes drilled. Graphic logs of the Self Potential-Resistivity-Gamma Ray of these tests are included in Appendix A.
