Title: Oil and Gas Exploration in Utah: ABSTRACT

Author(s): George H. Hansen

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

Since 1891 more than 600 wells have been drilled for oil and gas in the state of Utah. Commercial gas or oil has been developed in the Uinta Basin, Clay Basin, and the Utah corner of the San Juan Basin. Potential producing horizons have been discovered in rocks of Mississippian, Pennsylvanian, Permian, Triassic, Cretaceous, and Tertiary ages. Extensive oil land leasing and present drilling commitments promise increased activity for the near future.
