Oil and gas: history of development and principal fields in Colorado
Book
·
OSTI ID:6424177
In 1862, Colorado became the second oil-producing area in the US following the initial discovery of oil. Exploration and development were slow and 60 years passed before Colorado became recognized as a potentially significant oil- and gas-producing state. Today there are 8 principal producing regions in Colorado: the Denver basin (including the Canon City embayment), the North Park basin, the Paradox basin, the Piceance basin, the Raton basin, the San Juan basin, the Sand Wash basin and Axial basin uplift, and SE Colorado which includes the Las Animas Arch and the Hugoton embayment. 13 references.
