North-South core-based cross section through the middle to upper Green River Formation, Uinta Basin, Utah - Plate 2 | 2014 | oil shale; economic oil shale; oil shale zone; cross section; Green River Formation; well log; core log | The top of economic oil shale was picked at the top of the lower R-8 zone (top of the Big Three rich oil shale beds). This zone was selected to avoid the abundant saline minerals found in the overlaying saline zone, which often contains high-TDS water. If saline minerals (and high-TDS water) do not ... |
