INTRODUCTION

This report, compiled in August 1987, catalogs the six thousand nine hundred and fifty three (6,953) thin sections currently available for examination at the U.S. Geological Survey Core Research Center. Eight hundred and ninety three (893) cores from the Research Center's collection, representing the states of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming provided sample material for the thin sections. This catalog provides the following data: the state, location, county, operator, well name, type, minimum depth, maximum depth, formation, and well number of each core; and the depth of each thin section. All thin sections in this compilation are listed in order of state, township, range, section, and depth.

The Research Center's computer system has the capability of generating custom print-outs of core holdings sorted by formation, geologic age, geographic location, operator, or any combination of these parameters. Depths of individual thin section are not, however, currently listed on custom-sorted print-outs. Custom print-outs may be requested by telephone during working hours, or by letter.

All information contained in this thin-section listing has been supplied to the U.S. Geological Survey by the well operator or commercial well-information company, and research scientists that sampled the cores. Although this information is assumed to be accurate and correct, it is the responsibility of parties using this listing to verify all information contained herein. The U.S. Geological Survey makes no guarantee (either stated or implied) as to information accuracy.

To facilitate the examination of cores and thin sections, a well lighted core-examination room is provided for Research Center visitors. Binocular microscopes, a petrographic microscope, standard testing chemicals, a photo stand, and a small reference library are available in the core-examination room. Due to limited space for core and thin-section examination, users should make an appointment prior to visiting the Research Center.

The Core Research Center encourages the preservation of cores and thin sections at the Denver area repository, and at public facilities across the United States. Parties interested in donating material to the U.S. Geological Survey Core Research Center should contact the repository prior to the shipment of samples.

Facilities and Services

The facility occupies 45,000 square feet in a concrete building with heat, air conditioning, electricity, telephone, and restrooms. The examination room occupies 1,000 square feet and is equipped with binocular and petrographic microscopes, trim saw and plugger, testing chemicals, camera, porosity-permeability equipment (USGS use only), and a small reference library.

duration Policy

User fees: NoSampling of material: If duplicate

analyses and thin sections arereturned to files.

Loan of material: Cores-NoThin Sections-Yes

The facility is accepting oil and gas cores from the Rocky Mountain region, and material of research interest to the USGS. Material can be kept confidential for 1 year. All samples sent to the repository must be labeled as to operator, well name, location, and formation.

The library cannot accept shipments of material on a collect basis.
