  • Understanding and Mapping Variability of the Niobrara Formation
    UNDERSTANDING AND MAPPING VARIABILITY OF THE NIOBRARA FORMATION ACROSS WATTENBERG FIELD, DENVER BASIN by Nicholas Matthies A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date________________ Signed:____________________________________ Nicholas Matthies Signed:____________________________________ Dr. Stephen A. Sonnenberg Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date:_______________ Signed:____________________________________ Dr. Paul Santi Professor and Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT Wattenberg Field has been a prolific producer of oil and gas since the 1970s, and a resurgence of activity in recent years in the Niobrara Formation has created the need for a detailed study of this area. This study focuses on mapping regional trends in stratigraphy, structure, and well log properties using digital well logs, 3D seismic data, and core X-ray diffraction data. Across Wattenberg, the Niobrara is divided into the Smoky Hill Member (made up of A Chalk, A Marl, B Chalk, B Marl, C Chalk, C Marl, and Basal Chalk/Marl) and the Fort Hays Limestone Member. Directly beneath the Niobrara, the Codell Sandstone is the uppermost part of the Carlile Formation. Stratigraphic trends in these units are primarily due to differential compaction and compensational sedimentation. The largest structural trend is a paleo-high that runs east-west to northeast-southwest across the middle of the field. It has a relief of about 100 ft, and is 20 mi wide. The A Chalk and A Marl show evidence of submarine erosion over this area. Faults mapped from 3D seismic data are consistent with previously published data on a proposed polygonal fault system in the Denver Basin.

  • GROUNDWATER LEVELS in the DENVER BASIN BEDROCK AQUIFERS 2017
    GROUNDWATER LEVELS in the DENVER BASIN BEDROCK AQUIFERS 2017 by Andrew D. Flor John W. Hickenlooper Robert W. Randall Governor Executive Director, DNR Kevin G. Rein Matthew A. Sares State Engineer Manager, Hydrogeology Section GROUNDWATER LEVELS IN THE DENVER BASIN BEDROCK AQUIFERS 2017 This report updates basic data concerning the depth to and elevation of groundwater in the four main Denver Basin bedrock aquifers collected during the spring and summer of 2017. The report is organized first by aquifer, then by well name. Well completion information is provided, where available. Wells that may be completed in more than one aquifer are listed according to the uppermost aquifer. Approximately 95 water-level measurements in this year’s report were obtained by Division of Water Resources (Division) personnel. A total of six wells have been instrumented with data loggers to collect daily water-level data. These include the following: - four wells in the Castle Rock area that monitor all four Denver Basin aquifers; CO3_LTDW (DB-204), CO3_TKD (DB-205), CO6_KA (DB-206) and CO3_KLF (DB-203); and - two wells near Golden in the Pleasant View Metropolitan District are completed in the Arapahoe (DB-201) and Laramie-Fox Hills (DB-200) aquifers. Water-level data from 126 cooperator wells are also included in this report. Personnel from cooperating water districts and municipalities graciously provided these data upon request. The Division appreciates the cooperation of the many entities that provide water-level information. Recent Legislation has directed the Division of Water Resources, in consultation with the Colorado Water Conservation Board, to encourage qualified parties to submit water level data for inclusion in the statewide water level database.

  • Denudation History and Internal Structure of the Front Range and Wet Mountains, Colorado, Based on Apatite-Fission-Track Thermoc
    NEW MEXICO BUREAU OF GEOLOGY & MINERAL RESOURCES, BULLETIN 160, 2004 41 Denudation history and internal structure of the Front Range and Wet Mountains, Colorado, based on apatite­fission­track thermochronology 1 2 1Department of Earth and Environmental Science, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801Shari A. Kelley and Charles E. Chapin 2New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Socorro, NM 87801 Abstract An apatite fission­track (AFT) partial annealing zone (PAZ) that developed during Late Cretaceous time provides a structural datum for addressing questions concerning the timing and magnitude of denudation, as well as the structural style of Laramide deformation, in the Front Range and Wet Mountains of Colorado. AFT cooling ages are also used to estimate the magnitude and sense of dis­ placement across faults and to differentiate between exhumation and fault­generated topography. AFT ages at low elevationX along the eastern margin of the southern Front Range between Golden and Colorado Springs are from 100 to 270 Ma, and the mean track lengths are short (10–12.5 µm). Old AFT ages (> 100 Ma) are also found along the western margin of the Front Range along the Elkhorn thrust fault. In contrast AFT ages of 45–75 Ma and relatively long mean track lengths (12.5–14 µm) are common in the interior of the range. The AFT ages generally decrease across northwest­trending faults toward the center of the range. The base of a fossil PAZ, which separates AFT cooling ages of 45– 70 Ma at low elevations from AFT ages > 100 Ma at higher elevations, is exposed on the south side of Pikes Peak, on Mt.

  • Analysis and Correlation of Growth
    ANALYSIS AND CORRELATION OF GROWTH STRATA OF THE CRETACEOUS TO PALEOCENE LOWER DAWSON FORMATION: INSIGHT INTO THE TECTONO-STRATIGRAPHIC EVOLUTION OF THE COLORADO FRONT RANGE by Korey Tae Harvey A thesis submitted to the Faculty and Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Geology). Golden, Colorado Date __________________________ Signed: ________________________ Korey Harvey Signed: ________________________ Dr. Jennifer Aschoff Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date ___________________________ Signed: _________________________ Dr. Paul Santi Professor and Head Department of Geology and Geological Engineering ii ABSTRACT Despite numerous studies of Laramide-style (i.e., basement-cored) structures, their 4-dimensional structural evolution and relationship to adjacent sedimentary basins are not well understood. Analysis and correlation of growth strata along the eastern Colorado Front Range (CFR) help decipher the along-strike linkage of thrust structures and their affect on sediment dispersal. Growth strata, and the syntectonic unconformities within them, record the relative roles of uplift and deposition through time; when mapped along-strike, they provide insight into the location and geometry of structures through time. This paper presents an integrated structural- stratigraphic analysis and correlation of three growth-strata assemblages within the fluvial and fluvial megafan deposits of the lowermost Cretaceous to Paleocene Dawson Formation on the eastern CFR between Colorado Springs, CO and Sedalia, CO. Structural attitudes from 12 stratigraphic profiles at the three locales record dip discordances that highlight syntectonic unconformities within the growth strata packages. Eight traditional-type syntectonic unconformities were correlated along-strike of the eastern CFR distinguish six phases of uplift in the central portion of the CFR.

B. MORTON, Secretary GEOLOGICAL SURVEY V. E. McKelvey, Director Library of Congress catalog-card No. 74-600045 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office Washington, D. C. 20402- Price $1.15 (paper cover) Stock Number 2401-02545 PREFACE This bibliography is intended for persons wishing geological information about the Front Range Urban Corridor. It was compiled at the University of Colorado, funded by the U.S. Geological Survey, and is based primarily on references in the Petroleum Research Microfilm Library of the Rocky Mountain Region. Extensive use was made also of U.S. Geological Survey and American Geological Institute bibliographies, as well as those of the Colorado Geological Survey. Most of the material listed was published or completed before July 1, 1972; references to some later articles, as well as to a few which were not found in the first search, are appended at the end of the alphabetical listing. This bibliography may include more references than some users feel are warranted, but the authors felt that the greatest value to the user would result from a comprehensive rather than a selective listing. Hence, we decided to include the most significant synthesizing articles and books in order to give a broad picture of the geology of the Front Range Urban Corridor, and to include also some articles which deal with geology of areas adjacent to, and probably pertinent to, the corridor.

  • DENVER BASIN PROVINCE (039) by Debra K
    DENVER BASIN PROVINCE (039) by Debra K. Higley, Richard M. Pollastro, and Jerry L. Clayton INTRODUCTION The Denver Basin Province is an asymmetrical Laramide-age structural basin located in eastern Colorado, southeastern Wyoming, the southwestern corner of South Dakota, and the Nebraska Panhandle. Two basin deeps located along the axis of the basin, close to the Front Range, separate the steeply dipping western flank and gently dipping eastern flank. The basin is bounded on the west by the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, on the northwest by the Hartville Uplift, on the northeast by the Chadron Arch, and on the southwest and southeast by the Apishapa Uplift and Las Animas Arch, respectively. The primary producing plays in this province are the Dakota Group (Combined D and J Sandstones) Play (3905), and the J Sandstone Deep Gas (Wattenberg) Play (3906). Approximately 90 percent of the 800 MMBO and 1.2 TCFG produced from the basin has been from the J sandstone (Land and Weimer, 1978, Tainter, 1984). These two plays include 180 oil accumulations containing 1 or more MMBO. Eighteen fields have produced 6 BCFG or more (Hemborg, 1993d). Half of the province's 1.2 TCFG has been produced from the Wattenberg field; this field was discovered in 1970 and has produced about 0.63 TCFG and 2.2 MMBO from the J sandstone, Codell Sandstone, and Sussex (Terry) Sandstone. The largest oil field in the Denver Basin is Adena with more than 62 MMBO produced from the J and D sandstones and estimated ultimate recoverable of 62.5 MMBO.
