Title	Natural Gas Accumulations in Low-Permeability Tertiary, and Cretaceous(Campanian and Maastrichtian)Rock, Uinta Basin, Utah
Description	This report characterizes Upper Cretaceous Campanian and Maastrichtian, and lower Tertiary gas-bearing rocks in the Uinta Basin with special emphasis on those units that contain gas in reservoirs that have been described as being tight. The report was prepared for the U.S. Department of Energy whose Western Tight Gas Sandstone Program cofunded much of this research in conjunction with the U.S. Geological Survey's Evolution of Sedimentary Basins, and Onshore Oil and Gas Programs.
Abstract	Most know accumulations of nonassociated gas in the Uinta Basin occur east of the Green River where they are developed within rocks of the Campanian and Maastrichtian Mesaverde Group, Maastrichtian to lower Eocene North Horn Formation, and the Paleocene and Eocene Wasatch, Colton, and Green River Formations. Most gas is produced from fields developed near the surface trace of subsurface faults and fractures. The productive oil and gas-bearing rocks can be divided into three groups of common reservoir character. Group I is composed of oil-and associated gas-bearing deeply buried overpressured Tertiary rocks that are characterized by reservoirs whose in situ matrix permeability values are near, and are commonly below, 0.1 md and whose porosity values (most porosity being secondary) average 5 percent, ranging from 3 to 10 percent.
