Title Petroleum geology of the greater Red Wash Area, Uintah County, Utah
Date 1965-07
Description The Greater Red Wash area is the largest oil and gas field in the Uinta Basin. The Douglas Creek and Garden Gulch Members of the Green River Formation form a lacustrine delta in the area and yield hydrocarbons from a complex network of discrete sandstones. Each individual sandstone body forms its own stratigraphic trap. Structural features in the area were formed late in Red Wash geologic history (post-Duchesne River) and serve to localize oil and gas in the updip portions of individual sandstones. Estimated ultimate production in the area may total more than 100 million barrels of oil.
