Engineering report on the Great Divide Basin drilling project Sweetwater County, Wyoming, May 1980
This drilling project was conducted by Bendix Field Engineering Corporation (BFEC) in support of the US Department of Energy (DOE) National Uranium Resource Evaluation (NURE) program to provide additional information for a study already in progress. During the fall of 1979, six holes were drilled in the same area at depths of less than 1000 feet (304.80 m). The results of the 1979 drilling are available as GJBX-50(80) and GJBX-51(80) through the BFEC technical library. The four holes reported in this study ranged in depth from 2335 to 2500 feet (711.71-762.0 m); a total of 9771 feet (2978.20 m), of which 7 feet (2.13 m) were cored. A total of 100 feet (30.48 m) of sidewall samples was taken from three holes. Geophysical logging was supplied by BFEC. The objective of this project was to test the uranium potential of the Battle Spring Formation (Eocene). Drilling began May 3 and was finished on May 22, 1980.
