This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Lacustrine Sandstone Reservoirs and Hydrocarbon Systems written by Olive W. Baganz and published by AAPG. This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many publications on lacustrine systems concentrate on reconstructing paleo-environments, deciphering paleoclimate or estimating hydrocarbon source potential. This is the first memoir to give attention to describing the occurrence, distribution and character of sandstones in various lake settings. The memoir is divided into four sections beginning with a global overview, and followed by two sections covering lacustrine systems in compressional and extensional regimes, and concludes with a series of papers on modern lake regimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Utah energy and mineral companies produced an estimated gross value of $8.2 billion in energy and mineral commodities in 2012. On an inflation-adjusted basis, this is a $1.2 billion (12%) decrease from 2011, and a $1.9 billion (18%) decrease from the 2008 record high of $10 billion. Total energy production in 2012 was valued at $4.5 billion, including $2.5 billion from crude oil production, $1.3 billion from natural gas production, $0.6 billion from coal production, and $0.03 billion from uranium production. Nonfuel mineral production was valued at $3.7 billion, including $2.1 billion from base metal production, $1.2 billion from industrial mineral production, and $0.4 billion from precious metal production.

Download or read book The Petroleum System written by Geological Survey (U.S.) and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
