About the Uintah Basin

The Uintah Basin is one of the most petroliferous Petroliferous is a word used to describe a rock or geologic formation containing or yielding petroleum.

 areas in the country. Oil and gas production in the Uintah Basin began in the late 1940's with major development in the 1960's and expanding in the 1970's and 1980's. Since the 1980's there has been a tremendous surge of exploration and production activity in the basin with literally thousands of wells being drilled and completed. Within the last decade discoveries using the latest oilfield technological advances, including 3D seismic methods have yielded significant discoveries in previously unproductive formations, opening up thousands of acres of the basin for exploration and development. Over 300,000,000 BO have been produced from the Bluebell/Altamont field alone, and combined total production from Duchesne and Uintah Counties in 2004 was 9,615,191 BO (65% of the total oil produced in Utah in 2004) and 146,118,755 MCF/G (49% of the total gas produced in Utah in 2004).
