    • Raster Dataset Model of Oil Shale Resources in the Piceance Basin, Colorado

    Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

    ESRI GRID raster datasets were created to display and quantify oil shale resources for seventeen zones in the Piceance Basin, Colorado as part of a 2009 National Oil Shale Assessment. The oil shale zones in descending order are: Bed 44, A Groove, Mahogany Zone, B Groove, R-6, L-5, R-5, L-4, R-4, L-3, R-3, L-2, R-2, L-1, R-1, L-0, and R-0. Each raster cell represents a one-acre square of the land surface and contains values for either oil yield in barrels per acre, gallons per ton, or isopach thickness, in feet, as defined by the grid name: _b (barrels per acre), _g (gallons per ton), and _i (isopach thickness) where "" can be replaced by the name of the oil shale zone.
