Geophysical constraints on the flexural subsidence of the Denver Basin
The Denver Basin is an asymmetric Laramide (Late Cretaceous through Eocene) foreland basin covering portions of eastern Colorado, northwestern Kansas, southwestern Nebraska, and southeastern Wyoming, USA. It is bordered on the west by the Rocky Mountain Front Range Uplift, a basement cored Laramide …

Biogenic gas occurrence in the Niobrara Formation, eastern Denver Basin, Colorado, USA
… Niobrara Formation in the eastern part of the Denver Basin. The petroleum system of the biogenic play in the eastern part of the Denver Basin is a proven system. The maturity data are from high TOC marl intervals in the Niobrara Formation and overlying shale from Sharon Springs Member of the …

Patterns and mechanisms of heat transport in the northern Denver Basin Nebraska, South Dakota and Wyoming
… of the hydrothermal system of the northern Denver Basin are suggestive of a correlation between anomalous heat flux and the presence of faults and structural lineaments mapped in the region. Geothermal, hydrogeological, lithological, and structural data available for the northern Denver …

Mechanical stratigraphy and sonic log relationships using the Proceq Bambino in the Niobrara Formation, Denver Basin
… data was taken from the Niobrara Formation in a Denver Basin core to demonstrate the repeatability, precision, and non-destructiveness of the Bambino. A relationship between HLD values and geomechanical properties such as unconfined compressive strength, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio was …

Study of the organic content and mineralogy effects on the acoustic properties of the Niobrara Formation, Denver Basin
… Area (GWA). The Niobrara carbonate system in the Denver Basin contains a TOC range of 1-8 wt.%. Additionally, GWA is associated with a geothermal anomaly. This study investigates the effects of TOC, clay content and kerogen maturity levels on the acoustic properties of Niobrara chalk and marl …

Diagenesis of the B chalk, B marl, and Fort Hays member of the Niobrara Formation, Denver Basin, Colorado
… corrected bottom hole temperatures for the DJ basin, it was found that the isotopic composition of Late Cretaceous ocean water in the CWIS relative to standard mean ocean water (SMOW) may have been closer to 3‰, which is heavier than the values previous workers have published.

3D modeling and characterization of hydraulic fracture efficiency integrated with 4D/9C time-lapse seismic interpretations in the Niobrara Formation, Wattenberg field, Denver Basin
Hydrocarbon recovery rates within the Niobrara Shale are estimated as low as 2-8%. These recovery rates are controlled by the ability to effectively hydraulic fracture stimulate the reservoir using multistage horizontal wells. Subsequent to any mechanical issues that affect production from lateral …

Fluid flow and deformation history of the Denver basin, CO region: fluid inclusions, U-Pb geochronology and isotope geochemistry of calcite-filled fracture cements in the Niobrara Formation
The Colorado Front Range and adjacent Denver basin host a complex fracture network mainly formed during the Laramide orogeny initiating in the Late Cretaceous to middle Cenozoic by orogenesis, basin formation, and burial. The fracture network (e.g., joints, faults, open stylolites) acted as …

A method using drawdown derivatives to estimate aquifer properties near active groundwater production well fields
… groundwater from sandstone aquifers of the Denver Basin. Data collected over a seven-year period from two distinct well fields, one operating in the Denver aquifer and another operating in the Arapahoe aquifer, are considered. The estimated transmissivities are 30.0 m2/d and 46.5 m2/d for …

Feasibility study of sedimentary enhanced geothermal systems using reservoir simulation
… performance. The Permian Lyons formation in the Denver Basin is selected for this preliminary study. Well log data around the area of interest are collected and borehole temperature data are analyzed to estimate the geothermal potential of the target area and it follows that the target formation …
