Wyoming has a deep-rooted history in the Oil & Gas Industry throughout multiple productive plays that expand most counties. We concentrate on specific areas in Wyoming that we have the highest levels of expertise in so that we can maximize our knowledge to best create value for minerals owners. Within the last 10 years, mineral owners have seen a tremendous growth in leasing and drilling activities. This newfound activity is a direct result of efficient drilling and completion technologies in conjunction with incredible capital budgets. One thing that has become clear in the past 10 years is that not all mineral acreage is the same, commodity prices can swing dramatically, and certain operators are better than others. We believe that empowering mineral owners with concise and relevant information to help evaluate the value of their minerals is of the upmost importance.

What is the Powder River Basin?

The Powder River Basin ("PRB") is an elongated, asymmetric syncline located in the northeastern portion of Wyoming. With early production dating back to the 1900's, the PRB has seen extensive oil production. Recently, horizontal wells have been drilled in multiple unconventional formation leading to a new era of oil and gas production in the basin.

PRB: Parkman Sandstone

The Parkman Sandstone is composed of a deltaic complex of interstratified sandstone, siltstone, and shale that overlies the extensive marine shelf deposits of the Steele Shale. Effective primary porosity and permeability of the potential reservoir has been inhibited prior to petroleum generation, migration, and accumulation. However, where porosity and permeability were able to remain intact, petroleum generation, migration, and accumulation occurred.

PRB: Cody Shale Group

The Cody Shale Group was deposited in the Late Cretaceous period. The younger (upper portions) of the Cody Shale group is made up of buff, sandy shale, and thinly laminated buff sandstone. The older the deposition occurred the lithology begins to be dark grey, thin-bedded marine shale. The hydrocarbon reservoirs occur in stratigraphic traps of multiple productive intervals.

  • Sussex SS - Composed of sandstone and lesser shale and siltstone and is typically interpreted as having been deposited as bar complexes in a shelf environment
  • Shannon SS - Consists of sandstone and occasional interbedded siltstone and shale deposited in shore-face and shelf-bar environments indicative of an overall eastward progradation of clastic sediments.
  • Turner SS - consists of one or more coarsening-upward units of fine- to medium-grained sandstone interbedded with sandy shale.

PRB: Frontier Shale

The Frontier Shale was deposited in the upper Cretaceous and is an important productive formation in the Powder River Basin. Sediments were deposited in a shallow-water marine environment on a sea bottom that had a varied topography.

PRB: Muddy Sandstone

The Muddy Sand Stone formation consist of multiple structed depositional environments creating effective stratigraphic reservoirs. The depositional environments are composed from the increase or decrease of the paleo-sea creating delta-distributary channels (very low sea level), tidal flat deposits, (low sea level), and barrier island deposits (higher sea level).

What is the DJ Basin?

The DJ is an asymmetric structural basin comprised of 70,000 square miles of stacked intervals of oil and gas saturated reservoirs. Over the last 120 years, conventional vertical drilling has produced significant volumes of oil and gas. Recently, operators have utilized modern drilling and completion techniques to produce oil and gas in unconventional saturated reservoirs. Current well results within the core of the Wattenburg Field continue to show consistent and economic production. With significant stacked intervals of pay, the DJ allows for significant well densities allowing for high rate of recoverable Oil and Gas. In many cases, operators can utilize pad drilling where they are capable of minimizing surface locations while maximizing the drilling of upwards of 32 wellbores. The ability to have high productivity from one pad create an efficient market for Oil and Gas production.

DJ Basin: Niobrara

The Niobrara was deposited during the Western Interior Seaway. This deposition event was ideal to create organic-rich laminated sources. Over the period of deposition, the Niobrara had multiple unique sedimentary environments influenced by sea level changes and climate changes that generated alternating chalk and marl sequences broken into 3 main sections. These three sections are comprised of one chalk and one marl interval. majority of the productive intervals within the DJ. The Chalk intervals, known as the "A", "B", and "C" benches, are the primary productive targets within the Niobrara.

DJ Basin: Codell Sandstone

The Codell Sand was deposited during a large regression of sea level. During the deposition period, large siliciclastic material was inter-bedded to form fine-grained sand resulting in a relatively high porosity but low permeability oil and gas reservoir system.
