Shale Oil Resource Play Potential of the Green River Formation, Uinta Basin, Utah (OFR-639) Media Type:DVD Utah: Surficial Geology and PaleoseismicityBy: Steven Schamel The Green River Formation in the Uinta Basin has may characteristics typical of an ideal shale oil resource play. It is a world class oil prone source rock. In nearly all parts of the basin there are many thousands of net feet of Type l and Type ll kerogen rich calcareous mudstones, many intervals of which have average total organic carbon (TOC) of 5 10% or greater. In the north central and western parts of the basin a substantial
