OUTCROP CHEMOSTRATIGRAPHIC CORRELATION OF THE UPPER GREEN RIVER FORMATION IN THE UINTA BASIN, UTAH— MAHOGANY OIL SHALE ZONE TO THE UINTA FORMATION
Author: Dave Keighley
Publisher: Utah Geological Survey
ISBN: 1557918759
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
The Green River Formation of the Uinta Basin in eastern Utah is host to not only one of the world's largest oil shale deposits, primarily in the Mahogany oil shale zone, but it also contains significant conventional oil and gas reserves in interfingering sand bodies that grade into the laterally equivalent Colton and Wasatch Formations.

Stratigraphy and Paleolimnology of the Green River Formation, Western USA
Author: Michael Elliot Smith
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9401799067
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
This volume presents a suite of detailed stratigraphic and sedimentologic investigations of the Eocene Green River Formation of Wyoming, Colorado and Utah, one of the world’s foremost terrestrial archives of lacustrine and alluvial deposition during the warmest portion of the early Cenozoic. Its twelve chapters encompass the rich and varied record of lacustrine stratigraphy, sedimentology, geochronology, geochemistry and paleontology. Chapters 2-9 provide detailed member-scale synthesis of Green River Formation strata within the Greater Green River, Fossil, Piceance Creek and Uinta Basins, while its final two chapters address its enigmatic evaporite deposits and ichnofossils at broad, interbasinal scale.

Primary Oil-shale Resources of the Green River Formation in the Eastern Uinta Basin, Utah

Book Description
Resources of potential oil in place in the Green River Formation are measured and estimated for the primary oil-shale resource area east of the Green River in Utah's Uinta Basin. The area evaluated (Ts 7-14 S, Rs 19-25 E) includes most of, and certainly the best of Utah's oil-shale resource. For resource evaluation the principal oil-shale section is divided into ten stratigraphic units which are equivalent to units previously evaluated in the Piceance Creek Basin of Colorado. Detailed evaluation of individual oil-shale units sampled by cores, plus estimates by extrapolation into uncored areas indicate a total resource of 214 billion barrels of shale oil in place in the eastern Uinta Basin.

The Petroleum System

ISBN:
Category : Geology
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Investigations about porosity in petroleum reservoir rocks are discussed by Schmoker and Gautier. Pollastro discusses the uses of clay minerals as exploration tools that help to elucidate basin, source-rock, and reservoir history. The status of fission-track analysis, which is useful for determining the thermal and depositional history of deeply buried sedimentary rocks, is outlined by Naeser. The various ways workers have attempted to determine accurate ancient and present-day subsurface temperatures are summarized with numerous references by Barker. Clayton covers three topics: (1) the role of kinetic modeling in petroleum exploration, (2) biological markers as an indicator of depositional environment of source rocks and composition of crude oils, and (3) geochemistry of sulfur in source rocks and petroleum. Anders and Hite evaluate the current status of evaporite deposits as a source for crude oil.
