EDITOR: Janet L. Eisert
300 pages, 20 papers, three road
logs
This guidebook contains papers on the natural
gas, CO2, and Helium resources of Wyoming. Field
studies include Hay Reservoir and a discussion of the Madden
Field confirmation well. Geophysical papers cover seismic interpretation
of the Patrick Draw-Table Rock area, the Dakota sands on the
Moxa Arch, upper Almond gas sands in Dripping Rock Field, and
depth imaging and electric log interpretation of point-bar
deposits. Natural gas resource papers cover coalbed methane
in Wyoming as well as gas resources in the Greater Green River
Basin and the Powder River Basin. Other papers include drilling
and completion methods in the Frontier overpressured gas sands,
and marketing and pipelines in Wyoming. Of special interest
are papers on CO2 on the Moxa Arch, gas seeps in
Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, and helium resources
of Wyoming. Road logs include the Muddy Sandstone in the Wind
River Basin, the Haystack Mountain Formation (Mesa Verde and
Cody equivalents) in the Hanna Basin, and the Amoco Bairoil
(Lost Soldier and Wertz fields) CO2 project.
