Defining and characterizing Mesaverde and Mancos Sandstone reservoirs based on interpretation of image logs, eastern Uinta Basin (OFR-458)

By: M. W. Longman and R. J. Koepsell

This DVD is an FMI© “image atlas” tied to text describing key features and reservoir potential of the Upper Cretaceous Mesaverde Group in the area of Natural Buttes field, Uinta Basin, Utah. This report is based on a suite of eight FMI© logs run through the Mesaverde Group.

Information includes sandstone thickness, sedimentary structures, bioturbation and root traces, scour contacts, and abundance of rip-up clasts. These data were integrated with data from other logs to distinguish sand-body types and interpretation of depositional environments. Porosity, permeability, and fractures were identified from log data. An appendix has annotated images and vector plots from the eight logs.
