Western Gas Sands Project status report
Progress of the major government sponsored projects undertaken to increase gas production from the low permeability gas sands of the western United States during February, 1978 is summarized. The Western Gas Sands Project files, which contain raw data and published reports from each Western Gas Sands Project participant have been established. A log file containing logs from pertinent wells in the four study areas has also been established. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is continuing geological and geophysical studies in the four study areas for resource assessment. A number of papers giving results of recent investigations were presented at meetings during the month. The Bartlesville Energy Research Center (BERC) and participating National Laboratories are continuing their work in research and development. Field tests and demonstrations continue in the Uinta and Piceance Basins at the following locations: Uinta Basin, Gas Producing Enterprises, Inc. (GPE) Natural Buttes Unit Wells No. 14, 18, 19, 20, 21, and 22; Piceance Basin, Mobil Research and Development Corporation Well No. F-31-13G, Rio Blanco Natural Gas Company Well No. 498-4-1.
