The wider Mancos Formation is present in the Uinta, San Juan, and Piceance basins. It is geologically similar, but a different drilling target, to the tight oil Mancos Formation currently being tested in the San Juan Basin. This analysis focuses solely on the Mancos shale gas play in the Uinta Basin of northeast Utah. Channel- and lens-shaped deposits of non-eolian red sandstone are enclosed within the eolian Leche-e Member of the Page Sandstone in south-central Utah.
