Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines on the oil and gas production of the Eunice oil field in southeastern New Mexico. Properties of the oil field, and analysis of the oil and gas produced are presented. This report includes tables, maps, illustrations, and photographs.

From introduction: This volume contains information and survey results pertaining specifically to the Saint Johns NTMS 1:250,000 scale Quadrangle, Arizona and New Mexico, one of a group of 12 such quadrangles in Arizona, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Washington included in an aerial radiometric and magnetic reconnaissance survey. General information concerning the instrumentation and methods used in data acquisition, processing, and interpretation is presented in Volume 1 of this final report.

From preface: The report which follows is the second phase of a DOE contract designed to address various aspects of the genesis of the uranium deposits of the Grants mineral.belt. Many of the problems outlined in Phase 1 of this study (Brookins, 1976a) have been answered, others have been raised.

Abstract: Dark shale and arkosic sandstone south of Guadalupita, Mora County, New Mexico, contain as much as 4 percent copper and 0. 01 percent uranium on the basis of a few samples recently analyzed. The deposits occur primarily in the dark shale which is about 5 feet thick and dips about 900. Potential reserves of this material are very large. Prospecting and further geologic work will be necessary, however, to evaluate possibilities of these large tonnages. If the deposits can be mined for their copper content, the uranium might be recovered as a byproduct. Detailed mapping and possibly some trenching will be undertaken by the Geological Survey in order further to evaluate the deposits.

GEOTHERM sample file contains 251 records for New Mexico. Three computer-generated indexes are found in appendices A, B, and C of this report. The indexes give one line summaries of each GEOTHERM record describing the chemistry of geothermal springs and wells in the sample file for New Mexico. Each index is sorted by different variables to assist the user in locating geothermal records describing specific sites. Appendix A is sorted by the county name and the name of the source. Also given are latitude, longitude (both use decimal minutes), township, range, section, GEOTHERM record identifier, and temperature (/sup 0/C). Appendix B is sorted by county, township, range, and section. Also given are name of source, GEOTHERM record identifier, and temperature (/sup 0/C). Appendix C is first sorted into one-degree blocks by latitude, and longitude, and then by name of source. Adjacent one-degree blocks which are published as a 1:250,000 map are combined under the appropriate map name. Also given are GEOTHERM record identifier, and temperature (/sup 0/C). A bibliography is given in Appendix D.

None

From introduction: This report contains geohydrologic and water-quality data, hydrologic testing methods, and preliminary interpretations related to the site area and it supplements a report in which the regional hydrogeologic regime was described (Mercer and Orr, 1977).

From Abstract: "Field and laboratory data are presented for 451 water samples and 900 sediment samples from the Clifton Quadrangle, New Mexico; Arizona."

Abstract: Field and laboratory data are presented for 284 water samples and 1,847 sediment samples from the Tularosa Quadrangle, New Mexico. Uranium values have been reported by Los Alamos National Laboratory in Report GJBX-104(78). The samples were collected by Los Alamos National Laboratory; laboratory analysis and data reporting were performed by the Uranium Resource Evaluation Project at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

From Abstract: "Field and laboratory data are presented for 331 water samples and 1,693 sediment samples from the Aztec Quadrangle, New Mexico. Uranium values have been reported by Los Almos National Laboratory in Report GJBX-129(78). The samples were collected by Los Almos National Laboratory; laboratory analysis and data reporting were performed by the Uranium Resource Evaluation Project at Oak Ridge, Tennessee."
