dbo:abstract
  • Das Wind River Basin oder Shoshone Basin ist ein semi-arides intermontanes Vorlandbecken im Zentrum des US-Bundesstaates Wyoming. Es wird auf allen Seiten von laramischen Gebirgsbildungen begrenzt. Im Westen liegt die Wind River Range und im Norden die Absaroka Range und die Owl Creek Mountains. Der Casper Arch trennt den Wind River vom Powder River Basin im Osten und die Granite Mountains liegen im Süden. Die geologischen Formationen innerhalb des Beckens sind bedeutende Produzenten von Erdöl und Erdgas. Das Becken enthält über 60 Öl- und Gasfelder in 17 verschiedenen Formationen. Zu den wichtigsten Reservoirs gehören der Pennsylvanian Tensleep Sandstone, die Permian Phosphoria Formation und die Muddy Creek- und Frontier Sandsteine aus der Kreidezeit. Zu den wichtigsten Städten im Wind River Basin gehören Riverton, Shoshoni und Lander. Ein großer Teil des Wind River Basin liegt innerhalb der Grenzen der Wind River Indian Reservation. Das Becken wird hauptsächlich durch den Wind River und seine Nebenflüsse entwässert. (de)
  • Il bacino del Wind River, conosciuto anche come bacino di Shoshone, è un bacino di avampaese, semiarido e intermontano situato nella parte centrale del Wyoming, negli Stati Uniti d'America. Il bacino deriva il suo nome dal fiume Wind River, che è il corso d'acqua più importante che vi scorre e drena il bacino assieme ai suoi affluenti. Le città più importanti del bacino del fiume Wind River includono, Riverton, Shoshoni e Lander. Il bacino si trova entro i confini della . (it)

Following the Eocene an additional 3,000 feet (900 meters) of sediments were deposited before, and as the basin was uplifted in the late Tertiary. The geological formations within the basin are significant producers of petroleum and natural gas. The basin contains over 60 oil and gas fields mostly as structural traps within seventeen different formations. The primary reservoirs include the Pennsylvanian Tensleep Sandstone, the Permian Phosphoria Formation and the Cretaceous Muddy Creek and Frontier sandstones. The first oil strike within the basin was from the Dallas dome in the western part of the basin. This discovery in 1884 was the first commercial production in Wyoming. Major towns in the Wind River Basin include Riverton, Shoshoni, and Lander. Much of the Wind River Basin is within the boundaries of the Wind River Indian Reservation. The basin is drained primarily by the Wind River and its tributaries. (en)
