    Description
    Fault-block mountains and broad valleys characterize the Yuma area of southwestern Arizona. Fewer than 20 oil test holes have been drilled in an area of more than 450 mi2 (page 2). Recently released seismic-reflection data, integrated with earlier work and with data from oil and gas test holes and water wells, reveal a complex geologic history (page 4 and Plates 1 through 5). Gravity mapping (plate 6) suggests the presence of basins with up to 15,000 feet of sediments. Seismic-reflection data and dipmeter logs confirm the existence of a highly angular unconformity deep in the section. A Miocene-Pliocene transgression deposited older marine, marine Bouse Formation, and transition-zone sediments. Sand facies in each of these deposits represent potential reservoirs. A conglomerate at the unconformity and sands in a volcaniclastic section beneath the unconformity may also be reservoirs. Stratigraphic and fault traps may be present. The opening of the Gulf of California and contemporaneous volcanism was followed by deposition of coarse clastic and volcanic rocks. Block faulting was succeeded by a transgression. Sediments may include submarine fans or turbidites. Colorado River progradation has shaped the modern updip limit of marine deposits.
