Central Utah Overthrust— a String of Pearls
• 40% of world oil reserves are arrayed along thrust belts.
• The North American Thrust Belt runs from Alaska (Prudhoe
Bay) to Mexico (Cantrell Field).
Four billion barrels of oil-equivalent (BOE) found in
Canadian Overthrust.
National and state parks, great depths and extreme
volcanism have limited activity in Montana and
northwestern Wyoming
Two billion BOE found in northeast Utah and
southwest Wyoming in 1970’s and 80’s
• Two large reported discoveries on both the Paxton and the
Gunnison Thrust confirm productivity of Central Utah
Overthrust.
Covenant Field, discovered in 2003/4, has estimated
150 million Bbls with 13 million BO produced to date.
Providence Field, discovered in 2008, multi pay
system, has estimated reserves several times larger
than the Covenant Field

Central Utah Overthrust—Source and Migration Pathway
Mississippian
Source Basin
Several Trillion
barrels of Oil
Generated
It is estimated that a few trillion barrels of oil, or more, were
generated from Mississippian aged (359-318 million year old)
source rocks, mostly likely the Chainman Shale, in western Utah
and Nevada. However, only 65 billion barrels have been found
in Utah’s Tar sands.
• Oil found in the Covenant Field has a different source.
• The HPI Liberty #1 discovered pristine Mississippian Oil from
this large source basin, for the first time.
• This identifies a migration pathway from Western Utah, into the
Central Utah Overthrust.
• There are many more undrilled structural closures in the
central Utah over-thrust, the largest of which is Richfield’s
HUOP Freedom Trend Prospect.
• That prospect covers 11 contiguous miles on the northern end
of the Gunnison Thrust.Providence Field

• We anticipate a discovery in three
stacked Navajo formations, 1,000+ feet
thick each, filled to spill point.
• The Freedom Trend prospect is in the

•There is a High Energy
Wedge (HEW),

•This appears to be a
collapsed zone with
extensive natural
fracturing.
•The HEW is about
2,500’ thick, covers
about 17 Square miles.
The potential reserves
of this system are as
large as the Navajo
potential.
•The HEW is up-dip of
where the Tununk Shale
is currently generating
hydrocarbons
This structure map of the Emery Fm, is based off of 2-D Seismic, and
is overlaid with our Geochemical anomaly survey. It is extremely
interesting to note that the Geochemical anomalies are outlined by
the faults (in blue) that delineate the High Energy Wedge.

• In 1976, Hansen Oil drilled the Moroni #1A, to a
TD of 21,260’, looking for a Mississippian
Objective
• Circulation was lost in the naturally fractured
Tununk Shale (Lower Mancos) at 11,551’. Oil
flowed continuously to the pits. It took 4
months to drill past it and set casing. The well
was later plugged.
• In 1998 Cimarron drilled a horizontal Sidetrack in
the Tununk with 6 failed laterals.
• Limited perforations in the Tununk, through the
stuck drill pipe, have tested as much as 720
BOPD, but Severe mechanical constrictions and
LCM’s have combined to make this discovery
well inoperative in it’s current condition.
Moroni #1-AXZ Gas Flare 20,800 Units
Independence Project – Mancos (Tununk) Shale
When the Horizontal was being drilled,
Lost Circulation Materials were
recovered over 300’ from where they
were put in the ground during the 1976
drilling operations. This shows extreme
natural fracturing.
The extreme nature of the fracturing at
the Moroni #1 AXZH is confirmed by
the Dipole Shear Anisotropy log at
right.
Because Richfield’s acreage is on the
Western side of the Tununk play, close
to where the shoreline was, there are
fewer clays, and more quartz, which
allows the shale to be fractured and
maintain those fractures.

A good shale play is defined by having total organic carbon (“TOC’s)
greater than 2%, high thermal maturity and a brittle nature that can
be fractured. Natural Fractures eliminate the need for Hydraulic
Fracturing, saving money reducing possible environmental/political
issues.
The Tununk member of the Mancos shale is thick, has high TOC’s,
interbedded sandstones, natural fractures, and a high pressure
gradient, which should yield a higher than average recovery factor.
