The Clear Creek gas field, Carbon and Emery counties, Utah, was discovered in October, 1951, when the Byrd-Frost Corporation completed the Utah Fuel Company well No. 1. The prospect was drilled on a large highly faulted anticline located on the mountainous Wasatch Plateau of central Utah. The producing zone is the Ferron sandstone member of the Mancos shale. Seventeen additional field wells have now been drilled into the Ferron sandstone. Fourteen of these wells were producers, two were dry holes and one was abandoned because of mechanical difficulties.
