Title A model of hydrocarbon generation from type 1 kerogen: Application to the Uinta Basin, Utah
Date 1986-12-18
Description The Uinta Basin in northeastern Utah provides an ideal setting to study the evolution of kerogen to petroleum. Oil shale rocks of the Eocene-age Green River Formation outcrop extensively at the southern edge of the synclinal basin. The same rocks are also found at depths of 3650 m in the deepest part of the syncline. Mature petroleum is presently being recovered from these deeply buried rocks, so we know that kerogen has been converted to petroleum within the basin.
