Oil Problems in the Great Uintah Basin Assessing Gilsonite Sources
The paper reviews whether gilsonite and related hydrocarbons in the Uintah basin originate from formations below the Green River. It traces veins such as Wagonhound and Bonanza, notes shale-hosted oil signs, and questions if shales are the source or if oil migrated upward from deeper rocks. It discusses Green River, Wasatch, and Mesa Verde interbeds, notes variability in thickness, and surveys evidence for oil shales and kerogen shales as possible sources.
