Legacy Green River Assessment GIS Data

Oil shale data for the Piceance Creek Basin, Colorado is available as USGS Data Series 181 and can be downloaded using the links below. This geodatabase is a digital reproduction of three legacy USGS oil shale publications-- MF-958 (Pitman and Johnson, 1978) , MF-1069 (Pitman, 1979) , and OC-132 (Pitman and others, 1990). The database consists three feature datasets for each publication with a total of 106 feature classes.

2,263 scanned logs of various types including gamma ray, sonic, neutron, caliper, and lithologic descriptions are available for 621 different wells in the Piceance Basin of western Colorado. Logged intervals generally focus on the Green River Formation which contains large amounts of oil shale in this area. Image quality varies considerably with the condition of the starting material. Files are PDFs or TIFFs and file size ranges up to 560 megabytes with and an average size of 33 megabytes.

We are working on an interactive application to browse and query this catalog, but in the meantime you can use the following spreadsheet to access the logs individually:
