The Beecher Island field is located on a low relief anticlinal closure on the eastern flank of the Denver basin in Yuma County, Colorado. The field was discovered in 1919 but commercial development did not commence until 1972, Biogenic gas is produced from chalk with high porosity but low permeability at the top of the Smoky Hill Member of the Cretaceous Niobrara Formation at a depth of 1500 to 1800 feet. There are 21 gas wells, each on a 640 acre unit. Nineteen of these wells have been stimulated with a foam fracturing treatment and will deliver from 100 to 300 MCFGD.
