Potential petroleum resources of northeastern Utah and northeastern Colorado

The area comprising the Uinta and Piceance basins and vicinity has excellent potential for future oil and gas reserves. Estimated ultimate recoverable reserves of 3 billion barrels (500 billion liters) of oil and 5 trillion cubic feet of gas are predicted. Potential for new oil and gas exists in Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic rocks. Most of the future oil and gas reserves will be found in stratigraphic traps. The dominant reservoirs for future petroleum will be lenticular sandstone bodies. (JMT)
