19. Central Utah Overthrust—Source and Migration Pathway
Modified from Willis 1999
It is estimated that a few trillion barrels of oil, or more, were
generated from Mississippian aged (359-318 million year old)
source rocks, mostly likely the Chainman Shale, in western Utah
and Nevada. However, only 65 billion barrels have been found in
Utah’s Tar sands.

• There is a High Energy
Wedge (HEW),
intersecting the top of
the Cretaceous
backthrust in Fountain
Green.
• This appears to be a
collapsed zone with
extensive natural
fracturing.
• The HEW is about
2,500’ thick, covers
about 17 Square miles.
The potential reserves
of this system are as
large as the Navajo
potential.
• The HEW is up-dip of
where the Tununk Shale
is currently generating
hydrocarbons

This structure map of the Emery Fm, is based off of 2-D Seismic, and
is overlaid with our Geochemical anomaly survey. It is extremely
interesting to note that the Geochemical anomalies are outlined by
the faults (in blue) that delineate the High Energy Wedge.

24. Independence Project – Mancos (Tununk) Shale
• In 1976, Hansen Oil drilled the Moroni #1A, to a
TD of 21,260’, looking for a Mississippian
Objective
• Circulation was lost in the naturally fractured
Tununk Shale (Lower Mancos) at 11,551’. Oil
flowed continuously to the pits. It took 4
months to drill past it and set casing. The well
was later plugged.
• In 1998 Cimarron drilled a horizontal Sidetrack in
the Tununk with 6 failed laterals.
• Limited perforations in the Tununk, through the
stuck drill pipe, have tested as much as 720
BOPD, but Severe mechanical constrictions and
LCM’s have combined to make this discovery
well inoperative in it’s current condition.

Moroni #1-AXZ Gas Flare 20,800 Units
When the Horizontal was being drilled,
Lost Circulation Materials were
recovered over 300’ from where they
were put in the ground during the 1976
drilling operations. This shows extreme
natural fracturing.
The extreme nature of the fracturing at
the Moroni #1 AXZH is confirmed by
the Dipole Shear Anisotropy log at
right.
Because Richfield’s acreage is on the
Western side of the Tununk play, close
to where the shoreline was, there are
fewer clays, and more quartz, which
allows the shale to be fractured and
maintain those fractures.
