Geological Setting
Millions of years ago, major river systems ran through the Anticline area depositing over 5,000 feet of sand and sediment. Over time, these deposits became not only over-pressured and gas charged but also buried by at least 9,000 additional feet of sediment creating the formation now found at Pinedale. This process resulted in the deposition of over 5,000 gross feet of gas-rich sediments in parts of the area.
