Deltaic and lacustrine facies of the Green River Formation, southern Uinta Basin, Utah

Recognition and significance of sharp-based mouth-bar deposits in the Eocene Green River Formation, Uinta Basin, Utah

“…Thus, the sandstone bodies of the studied stratigraphic interval have been interpreted generally as deposits of various types of fluvial channels (Jacob, 1969; Ryder et al. , 1976; Szantat, 1990; Remy, 1991, 1992; Fouch et al. , 1994; Keighley et al.…”

“…, 2005). Here are presented data from sharp‐based mouth‐bar deposits in the Sunnyside Delta Interval (Remy, 1991) of the Eocene Green River Formation in the Uinta Basin of north‐eastern Utah (Fig. 1).…”

“…The present study concerns the stratigraphic interval of the Green River Formation between the D and C limestone markers of Jacob (1969). The studied succession comprises most of the Sunnyside Delta Interval at the southern margin of the Uinta Basin (Remy, 1991). The base of the interval is bounded by the underlying carbonate marker unit (Ryder et al.…”

“…The base of the interval is bounded by the underlying carbonate marker unit (Ryder et al. , 1976) and at the top by the transitional interval (Remy, 1991) (Fig. 2).…”

Increased oil production and reserves from improved completion techniques in the Bluebell Field, Uinta Basin, Utah. Annual report, October 1, 1994--September 30, 1995

“…General facies "belts" in the Green River Formation have been described on a basin-wide scale (Fouch, 1975;Ryder and others, 1976). Remy (1991) and Smith (1986) have described in more detail.the depositional environments of the Green River and Colton Formations, respectively. These formations were studied in the southcentral and southwest part of the Uinta Basin, but neither of these studies nor the previously mentioned ones addressed the specific problem of reservoir potential.…”
