Geology Of The Ragged Point Oil Field Musselshell County, Montana, David M. Amos
Geology Of The Ragged Point Oil Field Musselshell County, Montana, David M. Amos
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
The Ragged Point oil field is located in Northwest Musselshell County, in the Lake Basin field of central Montana, and on the western border of the Great Plains region. The surface topography is that of a plain marked by erosion and moderate folding. The stratigraphy of central Montana shows periodic marine invasions from the Cordilleran trough, with normal marine limestones interbedded with sandstone sand shales. These sediments are over 12,000 feet thick, with the Cretaceous Eagle and Colorado formations exposed at the surface on the Ragged Point anticline. Undifferentiated Cambrian limestones and shales are the oldest rocks encountered in drilling.
Oil Shales In Montana, Richard N. Miller
Oil Shales In Montana, Richard N. Miller
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Montana has long been known to have very large resources of coal and oil, and undetermined amounts of oil shale. The reserves of coal and oil have been proven, in part, and have been produced commercially, but not much is known about the extent and apparent value of the oil shales. Under present .conditions, and according to standards set by the United States Bureau of Mines, the shales are not of commercial value. They are, however, a potentially valuable mineral resource, and portions of them will possibly be utilized, although not in the near future.
An Isopach Map And Discussion Of Triassic Strata In Southern Montana And Wyoming, Robert G. Thompson
An Isopach Map And Discussion Of Triassic Strata In Southern Montana And Wyoming, Robert G. Thompson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Oil and gas have been found in the Triassic strata of Wyoming. Although the Triassic has not as yet proven to be a large producing horizon it is very probable that additional oil will be found in Triassic strata in the future, and it is one of the goals at which oil well drillers aim their tools.
The Problem Of The Tensleep Sandstone, George D. Mccarthy
The Problem Of The Tensleep Sandstone, George D. Mccarthy
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
Sandstone is probably one of the most important groups of rocks in existence today. The economic importance of so insignificant a thing as a mass of sand grains grows with the true reality of the situation. By increasing our knowledge of grains of sand, or particles of sandstone in all their ramifications, it would undoubtedly reflect upon our everyday life by increasing commercial possibilities of an undeveloped natural resource of Montana.
Stratigraphy And Paleontology Of The Eagle Formation In Montana And Adjacent Areas, Raymond Thompson
Stratigraphy And Paleontology Of The Eagle Formation In Montana And Adjacent Areas, Raymond Thompson
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
A conspicuous two hundred and fifty foot sandstone of central Montana, known as the Eagle Formation, constitutes part of the some five thousand feet of Cretaceous sediments in the state. It stands out in steep cliffs which stretch for many miles in the outcrop area from Wyoming to Canada.
Ground Water In The Lake Basin Field And Adjacent Area, Herman Neibauer
Ground Water In The Lake Basin Field And Adjacent Area, Herman Neibauer
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
This thesis consists of studying the stratigraphic and structural features of the Lake Basin Field and an adjacent area with special emphasis upon the ground water conditions present.
The Pre-Jurassic Surface Of Montana., G. Fay
The Pre-Jurassic Surface Of Montana., G. Fay
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
It has long been known that, prior to the deposition of Jurassic sediments, Montana was subjected to an intensive period of erosion. Mention of this may be found in numerous reports, especially those dealing with western Montana.
