Page 206 - City field is about 2J barrels and in the Salt Lake field about 23 barrels. The oils of the City field are uniform in quality, although they vary considerably in gravity. They contain considerable sulphur, and owing to the entire absence of light products are of little value for refining, being used almost entirely for fuel. The oils produced in the Salt Lake field show a marked similarity in general properties, being characterized by a high percentage of sulphur. The heavy oils are highly viscous...
Page 303 - ... the east half of the northeast quarter, and the north-east quarter of the south-east quarter of section two, in township four south of range five west of the Uintah special meridian.
Page 205 - Temple road, after penetrating gravel and sand for approximately 100 feet pass through alternating clayey shale and fine sandstone for about 250 feet. At this depth the oil sand, which appears to be barren at the top but productive below, is encountered and extends for 35 feet. About 20 feet below this is a layer of sand which yields flowing water. The wells in this part of the area yield an average of 1 to 2 barrels of 15° B.
Page 205 - Still farther southwest, about one half mile southwest of the corner of Western avenue and Temple road, the wells strike an oil sand at a depth of about 350 feet which outcrops at the surface in the vicinity of the wells just described. About 350 feet below this upper oil sand is encountered a second oil zone corresponding to the productive sand of the wells half a mile to the northeast. The strata above the first sand are largely clayey and sandy gray shale, possibly Fernando in part, with some...
Page 205 - ... encountered and extends for 35 feet. About 20 feet below this is a layer of sand which yields flowing water. The wells in this part of the area yield an average of 1 to 2 barrels of 15° B. oil per day, and in addition considerable quantities of gas and usually less than 2 per cent of water. About one-fourth mile to the southwest down the dip from the territory just described the wells reach the oil sand at 310 feet. The sand is here 40 feet thick and is somewhat more productive than it is higher...
Page 334 - This creek for some distance follows the foot of a fault scarp, the north being the upthrust side.
Page 219 - Casing would drive no further. Took out 20 bbls. twenty-four hours after cleaning well. Gravity of oil, 11° B. 4.2.15. Rodeo Oil Company Wells. No. 1, on Abbott ranch, west of Houser Station...
Page 205 - ... is here 40 feet thick and is somewhat more productive than it is higher up, yielding on an average 6 barrels per day per well. The same strata were penetrated and the same amount of water is encountered in these deeper wells as in the wells to the northeast. Still farther southwest, about one-half mile southwest of the corner of Western avenue and Temple road, the wells strike an oil sand at a depth of about 350 feet which outcrops at the surface in the vicinity of the wells just described. This...
Page 206 - J section 14, through a point 80 feet west of Loma Vista well No. 5. and thence indefinitely toward the Salt Lake field. East of this line of disturbance the main oil zone, which is here from 80 to 90 feet thick, is encountered at a depth of between 195 and 210 feet, the overlying beds consisting of Pleistocene sand and gravel near the surface, with thin-bedded shale and fine sandstone below.
