Title: Oil and Gas Developments in Eastern and Northwestern Colorado in 1988

Author(s): Lawrence D. Ligrani (2), Linda M. Glenister (3)

Abstract:

Drilling activity in eastern and northwestern Colorado was down moderately in 1988 with 922 wells drilled in the area, an 8% decrease in drilling from 1,006 wells in 1987. Thirty-one percent of the total or 290 wells were exploratory tests with a success rate of 20%, slightly less than the 22% success rate in 1987.

Activity in eastern Colorado focused on Permian through Mississippian rocks along the Las Animas arch and on Cretaceous formations in the Denver basin. Exploration targets in the northwestern portion of the state were primarily Cretaceous.
