Abstract:
The Elk Basin oil and gas field on the state line between Wyoming and Montana is on a large anticline in formations of Upper Cretaceous age. Oil production comes from sands in the Frontier formation, and gas from the sands of the Dakota group. The structure is broken by three sets of normal faults with displacements ranging from a few feet to 700 feet. The south end of the field is an excellent example of the accumulation of oil in fault blocks. The field was discovered in October, 1915, and the total production to January 1, 1927, was 8,120,000 barrels. The field is now being revived with a unified gas drive. There are untested possibilities for oil and gas in deeper formations.
