Schematic of Uinta Basin stratigraphy and possible horizontal drilling targets.

We recently mapped part of the upper Bear River watershed using the National Wetland Inventory (NWI) Program’s mapping standards and the Cowardin classification system.

A composite model of the Utah FORGE site integrating multiple data types (geologic, thermal, gravity, seismic, hydrologic) depicts the subsurface bedrock geometry and temperature field which are key parameters to the FORGE project. The earth model output was generated using Leapfrog software (copyright © Aranz Geo Limited).

Drilling of the PR-15-7c core.

This massive collection of cores was generously donated to the UCRC by the field operator Resolute Energy Corporation of Denver, Colorado. Resolute and Peter Nielsen, UCRC Curator, worked very hard to permanently preserve the Aneth core collection and make it publicly available for study and education by other oil companies, universities, and research organizations.
