Abstract:
Important oil and gas production has been established in Cretaceous, Permian, Pennsylvanian, Mississippian, and Devonian rocks. To date, Cretaceous terrigenous clastic and Pennsylvanian carbonate reservoirs have been the most productive of oil and gas.
Although exploratory and development drilling in the Four Corners area decreased from 1964, there was activity in all basins and significant developments in two previously dormant parts of the area. These are the Chaco slope, where significant new oil discoveries were made in the Cretaceous Gallup Sandstone, and in the Colorado part of the Blanding basin, where important thicknesses of Pennsylvanian algal carbonate were found. Both areas, especially the Chaco slope, will be the sites of considerable activity during 1966.
