New insights on the Green River petroleum system in the Uinta basin from hydrous pyrolysis experiments

The Tertiary Green River petroleum system in the Uinta basin generated about 500 million bbl of recoverable, high pour-point, paraffinic crude oil from lacustrine source rocks. A prolific complex of marginal and open-lacustrine source rocks, dominated by carbonate oil shales containing up to 60 wt. % type I kerogen, occur within distinct stratigraphic units in the basin. Petroleum generation is interpreted to originate from source pods in the basal Green River Formation buried to depths greater than 3000 m along the steeply dipping northern margin of the basin. Producing fields in the Altamont-Bluebell trend have elevated pore-fluid pressures approaching 80% of lithostatic pressure and are completed in strata where...

National Assessment of Oil and Gas Quarter-Mile Cells in Jurassic and Cretaceous Strata of the Gulf Coast, 2010 (Provinces 047, 048 and 049)

The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The Assessment Unit is defined within the context of the higher-level Total Petroleum System. The Assessment Unit is shown here as a geographic boundary interpreted, defined, and mapped by the geologists responsible for the province and incorporates a set of known or postulated oil and (or) gas accumulations sharing similar geologic, geographic, and temporal properties within the Total Petroleum System, such as source rock, timing, migration pathways, trapping mechanism, and hydrocarbon type. The Assessment Unit boundary is defined geologically as the limits of the geologic...
