	Salt Creek Oil Field - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Salt Creek Oil Field, located in Natrona County, approximately 40 mi (64 km) north of Casper, was at one time in the early 20th century the largest light crude oil field in the world.
		The main well in the Salt Creek Field was drilled in October 1908 at the Dutch no. 1 location.
		The reputation of Salt Creek as the largest light oil field was surpassed in the 1920s by the nearby Teapot Dome field, the source of scandal during the Warren G. Harding administration.

	Petroleum Geology of the House Creek field - 3-D Reservoir Characterization
		Oil is stratigraphically trapped in the Sussex "B" sandstone by an updip and overlying change from porous and permeable sandstone to relatively impermeable mudstone, and by an areally discontinuous capping chert-pebble sandstone; there is no oil-water contact in the field.
		Thinning along the eastern margins of the field is due primarily to erosional reworking and associated landward redeposition of sands.
		Examination of well logs across and outside the field area indicates the eastern boundary of an additional upper sand ridge may be present along the northwestern edge of the field.

		Effects of oil on marine turtles Effects of oil on marine turtles waterborne oil in small or moderate amounts presents a long term health hazard, particularly to hatchlings and smaller turtles; skin lesions and complete blockage of the mouth and throat are among documented effects.
		Oil washed up on the beach in small or moderate amounts may pose little immediate threat to emerging females, but significant layers of oil on the nest beach would probably make nesting very difficult or impossible.
		Oil installations are reported to be on fire in the vicinity of Failakah Island which could seriously affect the wildlife of this area.

		Nine zones produce at Salt Creek and from the oldest to the youngest they are: Pennsylvanian Tensleep Sandstone, upper Jurassic Sundance and Morrison Formations, lower Cretaceous Lakota Sandstone and Shale, Lower Cretaceous Third Wall Creek, Second Wall Creek, and First Wall Creek Sandstones, and Upper Cretaceous shales.
		In 1925 Salt Creek became one of the first oil fields in the country to be powered totally by electricity.
		The boom days of Salt Creek in the twenties and thirties caused many business buildings to be built in downtown Casper and most of them are still standing today.

	Beyond boom & bust: Energy industry rebounding, seeing steady growth - billingsgazette.com
		Tom Richmond, administrator of the Montana Board of Oil and Gas Conservation, said two areas are responsible for the state's increase in oil production: the Bakken play in Richland County near Sidney and the Cedar Creek Anticline near Baker, where a previously exploited oil field is being revitalized with modern recovery techniques.
		The division is projecting that oil and gas revenues to the state will remain roughly steady during 2006 and 2007, contributing about $58 million a year to the general fund.
		Oil field jobs pay an average of $950 a week, according to the department.

		The Salt Creek Oil District remains one of the major oil fields of the United States, with its basin containing some 2.7 billion barrels of recoverable crude.
		As indicated on the previous page, the Salt Creek oil district dates back to the late 1880's, with the first major well being brought in in 1890.
		In 1912 and 1915, Presidents Taft and later Wilson directed that certain oil and gas bearing lands in California and Wyoming be set aside for the exclusive use of the Navy.

	Alexander's Gas & Oil Connections - Wyoming’s aging oil fields could still produce
		James Steidtmann, director of the Enhanced Oil Recovery Institute, outlined the state's potential for squeezing more oil from its established production fields, while at the same time sequestering CO2 that is a by-product of natural gas development in the state.
		Many producers use water flooding to "sweep" additional oil, as well as other technologies that use materials such as brines, salts, surfactants and polymers that help increase the flow of oil to the pumps.
		Anadarko Petroleum recently constructed a CO2 pipeline from the LaBarge area to the century-old Salt Creek oil field 45 miles north of Casper, where it aims to squeeze an additional 150 mm barrels of oil.

	Oil Camps
		The process of staking claims during the early years of the Salt Creek field was pursuant to the Mining Act of 1872 and literally required the driving of stakes about the four corners of the claim and the driving of a center stake upon which would be posted a notice of the claim.
		Other oil strikes in the Wyoming followed the Jackass Springs discovery, including a large find by Philip Martin "Mark" Shannon in Salt Creek in 1889 and finds at Lance Creek north of Lusk, and Oregon Basin in Park County in 1912.
		The oil had to be hauled in barrels fron the wells by horse-drawn freighters to Casper and equipment for drilling the wells was also hauled to the fields by freighters.

		Our calculations indicate that over 2000 tons of salt will accumulate if 100 gallons per minute of water (approximately 10 wells) with a total dissolved salts concentration of 1000 milligrams per liter are evaporated for a period of ten years.
		These salts would probably wind up on the soil surface at the bottom of the reservoir, and would require soil removal or salvage at the end of project life to prevent transport during subsequent runoff events.
		The addition of a constant load of salts or sodium to a stream, which naturally varies in quality, could cause a significant exceedance of guidelines for successive irrigation when the stream quality is naturally near the guideline.

		But Hackett figures Salt Creek has as much as 250 million barrels left in it and is spending $200 million to revivify the field using a technique called carbon dioxide flooding.
		By 2009 Salt Creek could be producing 35,000 barrels a day at an average cost of $3 per barrel.
		Because Salt Creek can serve as a permanent storehouse for carbon dioxide as easily as it can for oil, Anadarko could sequester as much as 29 million tons of the gas deep underground over a decade.

		The estimated 135,000,000 barrels of oil believed to exist under the land was to be saved for wartime emergency use only.
		Many of Wyoming's independent oil producers complained that development of the Teapot Dome oil reserves was unnecessary because the U.S. was producing more oil than it could use or export at the time.
		Some historians speculate that the oil producers were most aggravated about not being given the chance to bid on the lease.

		Specific objectives were to: a) estimate the toxicity of Salt Creek waters and the persistence of this toxicity downstream in the Powder River, and b) determine whether any observed toxicity could be attributed to oil field discharges.
		There was insufficient data to figure the Salt Creek flow contributions to the Powder River during the second year.
		When Salt Creek comprised about 89% of the Powder River flow, the researchers observed toxicity at F-site, 68 km downstream from the confluence of Salt Creek and the Powder River.

	DOE - Fossil Energy Techline: DOE Oil Field Takes Pioneering Role In Large-Scale CO2 Sequestration Test
		Washington, DC - The Department of Energy's (DOE) "Teapot Dome" oil field in Wyoming will anchor a pioneering scientific venture that ultimately could prove one option of large-scale, region-wide carbon sequestration, a critical step in support of emissions-free energy and the goals of President Bush's Climate Initiative.
		Conceived with a potential surface area spanning 50-square-miles, its test area encompasses the contiguous Salt Creek oil field of Anadarko Petroleum Corp., the cooperating company.
		The venture is expected to yield important dual assessments, including determination of optimal carbon sequestration levels in depleted oil and gas fields throughout the multi-state Rocky Mountain region, and the optimum combination of sequestration and enhanced oil recovery.
