Frac Sand Potential on Selected SITLA Lands in Utah
Abstract
This open-file report provides a reconnaissance-level summary of frac sand potential in Utah. The report was originally commissioned by the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) to assess frac sand potential on SITLA lands. The report was completed in 2013. Beyond providing data on frac sand potential, the report provides general data on sand and sandstone deposits in Utah that may indicate suitability for other applications that require high-silica sand. The original contract-deliverable report is provided “as is,” and no updates have been made to the text or figures.
