Geochemical and mineralogical data for core and cuttings samples from wells in the Eocene Green River Formation, Uinta Basin, Utah
Bulk organic geochemical, major and trace element, and mineralogical data have been collected for core and cuttings samples of the Eocene Green River Formation from thirty-four wells in the Uinta Basin of Utah. The samples were collected from the U.S. Geological Survey Core Research Center in Denver, CO and the Utah Core Research Center in Salt Lake City, UT and represent multiple distinct stratigraphic intervals, including several that are being targeted for tight oil production in the northwestern part of the basin. These data have been collected since the previous assessment of the informal Uteland Butte member of the Green River Formation in 2015 and will inform future research and assessments of this unique lacustrine petroleum system. Much of this data is also relevant to various other petroleum-related resources (oil shale, gilsonite, tar sands) in eastern and southern parts of the basin.
