“…The resulting 0.08 net-to-gross ratio proportion was applied to the gross thickness values, yielding minimum, maximum, and most likely net-porous thicknesses of 120, 200, and 160 ft, respectively. Petrophysical data (Reneau and Harris, 1957;Arnold, 1974;Huffman, 1987;Whitehead, 1993;Byrnes, 1997;Teufel and others, 2004;Fassett, 2010; Phil Nelson, U.S. Geological Survey, written commun., 2011) on potential storage units within the basin indicate minimum and maximum mean porosity values of 4 and 14 percent, with 9 percent being most likely. However, permeability values are generally low, ranging between 0.0004 and 160 mD, with the higher values associated with sandstones deposited in onshore and coastal to shoreface environments.…”

“…The methodology defined by Brennan and others (2010) and Blondes and others (2013) was used to determine the minimum and central tendency buoyant-trapping pore volumes. The maximum buoyant-trapping pore volume is based on (1) the maximum net-porous interval thickness, (2) the maximum mean porosity value, and (3) reported and projected continuous oil reserve volumes (Huffman, 1987;Whitehead, 1993;Fassett, 2010). Traditionally, gas production from the SAU interval has been considered to be basin-centered gas in continuous reservoirs (Huffman, 1995b;U.S.…”

The U.S. Geological Survey has completed an assessment of the potential geologic carbon dioxide storage resources in the onshore areas of the United States. To provide geological context and input data sources for the resources numbers, framework documents are being prepared for all areas that were investigated as part of the national assessment. This report is the geologic framework document for the Uinta and Piceance, San Juan, Paradox, Raton, Eastern Great, and Black Mesa Basins, and subbasins therein of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. In addition to a summary of the geology and petroleum resources of studied basins, the individual storage assessment units (SAUs) within the basins are described and explanations for their selection are presented. Although appendixes in the national assessment publications include the input values used to calculate the available storage resource, this framework document provides only the context and source of the input values selected by the assessment geologists. Spatial-data files of the boundaries for the SAUs, and the well-penetration density of known well bores that penetrate the SAU seal, are available for download with the release of this report.

“…Most of the basin-flank oil fields are small, that is, less than 1 MMBO, but approximately 30 percent of the fields have an estimated ultimate recovery exceeding 1 MMBO; the largest is Gramps field (fig. 64 ), which is estimated at just over 7 MMBO (Huffman, 1987). About 15 BCF of associated gas has been produced through 1990.…”

“…Such geological characteristics as reservoir lithology, timing and migration, trapping mechanisms and source rock are taken into consideration in the definition and evaluation of each play. In order to assess the potential oil and gas resources of San Juan National Forest land, play analysis methodology and the same plays that were defined and evaluated for the 1989 National Assessment were used (Powers, 1993;Huffman, 1987;U.S. Geological Survey and Minerals Management Service, 1989;Peterson, 1989).…”

USGS BULLETIN 2127: MINERAL RESOURCE POTENTIAL AND GEOLOGY OF THE SAN JUAN NATIONAL FOREST• The San Juan National Forest ("the Forest") contains many famous mining districts, such as those at Rico and La Plata, but there is no significant mining being done within the Forest today.• Fourteen types oflocatable mineral deposits were assessed, and, of those, five were assessed quantitatively.• The five, quantitatively assessed, undiscovered locatable mineral deposits could possibly contain as much as 136,500 metric tons of copper, 17 metric tons of gold, 223,000 metric tons of zinc, 1,425 metric tons of silver, 184,000 metric tons of lead, and 33,900 metric tons of molybdenum. The probability that these amounts exist is 10 percent or less.• Estimates were made of the amount of leasable commodities, including conventional oil and gas, gas in tight (impermeable) sandstone reservoirs, coal, and coal-bed gas that could be present in the Forest.• Sixteen million barrels of oil and 26 billion cubic feet of gas or more may be present in conventional reservoirs.• Recoverable gas in tight gas reservoirs may total as much as 18 billion cubic feet.• Six billion short tons of bituminous coal may be present.• Coal beds may contain 1 1/2 trillion cubic feet of gas.• Considering the vast size of the Forest, the estimated amounts of leasable commodities are relatively small.• Most leasable minerals are concentrated in a small southern area of the Forest that overlaps the energy-rich San Juan Basin.• It is not implied that any commodities, leasable or locatable, could be extracted for a profit, even if they were discovered.• Salable minerals, such as sand, gravel, and building stone, are abundant within the Forest.
