This progress report covers the following tasks: Computational geochemistry (Indiana University Laboratory,3090 ); and geologic assessment of the Piceance Basin. Computational geochemistry covers; three- dimensional basin simulator; stress solver; two-dimensional basin simulator; organic reactions and multi-phase flow; grid optimization; database calibration and data input; and Piceance Basin initial simulation. Sub-tasks under geologic assessment of the Piceance Basin include: structural analysis; reservoir characterization; stratigraphic interpretation; seismic interpretation; and remote sensing interpretation.
