WSGS

The Wyoming State Geological Survey is a state agency dedicated to studying, mapping, and sharing information about Wyoming’s geology, natural resources, and geologic hazards. Through research, publications, maps, data, and public outreach, the WSGS provides objective geoscience information that supports decision-making, education, resource management, public safety, and a deeper understanding of Wyoming’s geologic past, present, and future.

Codell Sandstone oil production trends, Northern Denver Basin, Laramie County, Wyoming Mar 14, 2024 Toner, R.N.; Campbell, E.A.; Lageson, D.R., 2024, "Codell Sandstone oil production trends, Northern Denver Basin, Laramie County, Wyoming", https://doi.org/10.15786/13688560, Wyoming Data Repository, V1 The oil-bearing Codell Sandstone was historically deemed uneconomical due to its low porosity and permeability, and its lack of traditional hydrocarbon trap. With recent advances in horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing (frac) methods, this unconventional tight sand is now proving to be a highly productive oil reservoir. This study investiga...
