Burial History, Thermal Maturity, and Oil and Gas Generation History of Source Rocks in the Bighorn Basin, Wyoming and Montana
Burial history, thermal maturity, and timing of oil and gas generation were modeled for seven key source-rock units at eight well locations throughout the Bighorn Basin in Wyoming and Montana. Also modeled was the timing of cracking to gas of Phosphoria Formation-sourced oil in the Permian Park City Formation reservoirs at two well locations. Within the basin boundary, the Phosphoria is thin and o

New vitrinite reflectance data for the Bighorn Basin, north-central Wyoming and south-central Montana
The Bighorn Basin is a large Laramide (Late Cretaceous through Eocene) structural and sedimentary basin that encompasses about 10,400 mi2 in north-central Wyoming and south-central Montana (fig. 1). Important conventional oil and gas resources have been discovered and produced from reservoirs ranging in age from Cambrian through Tertiary (Fox and Dolton, 1989, 1996a, b; De Bruin, 1993).

Subsurface stratigraphic cross sections of cretaceous and lower tertiary rocks in the Wind River Basin, central Wyoming: Chapter 9 in Petroleum systems and geologic assessment of oil and gas resources in the Wind River Basin Province, Wyoming
The stratigraphic cross sections presented in this
report were constructed as part of a project conducted by
the U.S. Geological Survey to characterize and evaluate the
undiscovered oil and gas resources of the Wind River Basin
(WRB) in central Wyoming. The primary purpose of the
cross sections is to show the stratigraphic framework and
facies relations of Cretaceous and lower Tertiary rocks

Source rock potential of upper cretaceous marine shales in the Wind River Basin, Wyoming: Chapter 8 in Petroleum systems and geologic assessment of oil and gas resources in the Wind River Basin Province, Wyoming
Seventy-eight samples collected from marine shales from
the Cretaceous Mowry Shale, the lower part of the Frontier
Formation, and the lower shaly and upper sandy members
of the Cody Shale in the Wind River Basin, Wyoming, were
analyzed using Rock-Eval and total organic carbon analysis
to determine the source rock potential. Results indicate
that the Mowry Shale has a generative potential bas

Burial history, thermal maturity, and oil and gas generation history of petroleum systems in the Wind River Basin Province, central Wyoming: Chapter 6 in Petroleum systems and geologic assessment of oil and gas resources in the Wind River Basin Provinc
Burial history, thermal maturity, and timing of oil and gas
generation were modeled for eight key source rock units at
nine well locations throughout the Wind River Basin Province.
Petroleum source rocks include the Permian Phosphoria
Formation, the Cretaceous Mowry Shale, Cody Shale, and
Mesaverde, Meeteetse, and Lance Formations, and the Tertiary

The Cretaceous-Lower Tertiary Composite Total Petroleum System (TPS) of the Wind River Basin Province includes all strata from the base of the Lower Cretaceous Cloverly Formation to the base of the Waltman Shale Member of the Paleocene age Fort Union Formation and, where the Waltman is absent, includes strata as young as the Eocene Wind River Formation. Locally, Cretaceous-sourced gas migrated int

Vitrinite Reflectance Data for the Wind River Basin, Central Wyoming
Introduction: The Wind River Basin is a large Laramide (Late Cretaceous through Eocene) structural and sedimentary basin that encompasses about 7,400 mi2 in central Wyoming. The basin boundaries are defined by fault-bounded Laramide uplifts that surround it, including the Owl Creek and Bighorn Mountains to the north, Wind River Range to the west, Granite Mountains to the south, and Casper Arch to

Timing of oil and gas generation of petroleum systems in the Southwestern Wyoming Province
Burial history, thermal maturity, and timing of petroleum generation were modeled for eight key source-rock horizons at seven locations throughout the Southwestern Wyoming Province. The horizons are the bases of the Lower Permian Phosphoria Formation, the Upper Cretaceous Mowry Shale, Niobrara Formation, Baxter Shale (and equivalents), upper part of the Mesaverde Group, Lewis Shale, Lance Formatio
