Abstract:
Oil shale from the Parachute Creek Member of the Green River Formation gives up methane in various amounts when penetrated by drilling or shaft sinking. The "Saline zone" from the base of the second salt to the base of the R-2 zone has been cored and drill-stem tested in 30-ft (9 m) intervals; the core has been sealed in PVC sleeves and the methane given off has been measured. The methane data have been correlated with the geologic section and the results have been presented for use in mine design.
