Hearon, J.S., 2023, Formation tops data from the stratigraphic cross sections of the Lewis Shale in the eastern part of the Southwestern Wyoming Province, Wyoming and Colorado: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9XRPCSC.

Summary

This data release contains data associated with the USGS SIM publication "Stratigraphic Cross Sections of the Lewis Shale in the eastern part of the Southwestern Wyoming Province, Wyoming and Colorado". North-to-southeast (A–A’), west-to-east (B–B’), and southwest-to-northeast (C–C’) cross sections were created from 105 wells throughout the eastern part of the Southwestern Wyoming Province. The cross sections highlight 15 clinothems within the Lewis Shale, Fox Hills Sandstone, and Lance Formation progradational system. Data include well information and depths to key stratigraphic surfaces for 105 wells within the three cross sections. Well information includes the cross section identification, API #, well name, latitude in decimals, [...]

Purpose

Depths for the Lewis Shale and associated strata are given here for 105 wells in the Southwestern Wyoming Province, also referred to as the Greater Green River Basin. The purpose for this data release is to provide the database used to characterize the geologic framework associated with the accompanying USGS SIM publication. All picks were made by the author from borehole geophysical logs drilled for oil and gas exploration and production.
