A. Stratigraphic Data Base: Alan K. Chamberlain, PhD. and Cedar Strat geologists have measured, sampled, analyzed, digitized and made surface gamma-ray logs of more than One Million feet of Paleozoic Stratigraphic sequences throughout the Great Basin. The unique stratigraphic data base, combined with the source rock and reservoir rock studies, have identified regional trends that indicate huge potential for oil and gas generation and entrapment.

B. Mississippian Source Rock Study: Alan K. Chamberlain, directing Cedar Strat geologists and independent laboratories, as well as analyzing the data personally, has developed a proprietary source rock study of the Great Basin. This has covered over 250,000 square miles obtaining and analyzing hundreds of samples for organic richness and thermal maturity from measured sections, well cuttings, and mapping depositional environments, (using isopach maps, palynomorph assemblages, other biological depositional indicators, and correlation of stratigraphic sequences). (See items for sale if interested in this study). This has cost in excess of $1,500,000 to generate originally. Regional areas of the study have produced organic richness of 6-8% which is compared to the Wyoming-Utah over-thrust of 1-2% organic richness. Analysis includes Palynomorph, Conodont Alteration Indices, Vitrinite Reflectance, Total Organic Carbon, Thermal Alteration Indices, etc.

C. Devonian and Mississippian Reservoir Rock Studies: Alan K. Chamberlain, directing Cedar Strat geologists as well as analyzing the data personally, has developed proprietary reservoir rock studies of the Great Basin. This also covers over 250,000 square miles. The rocks have been analyzed for porosity, permeability, elemental characteristics, thickness and location relative to source rocks. The studies include analysis of possible competent seals for the trapping and reservoir structures. (See items for sale if interested in these studies). These studies have cost in excess of $2,000,000 to generate originally. The studies have documented regional karsting, dolomitization, and Devonian "Canadian" reef structures that all have the potential for housing billions of barrels of oil in huge regional structures.

D. Gamma-Ray Log Studies: Cedar Strat pioneered surface gamma-ray logs. Cedar Strat has systematically taken gamma-ray readings while measuring each stratigraphic section. The resulting gamma-ray log allows for correlation of Paleozoic stratigraphic sequences with wells penetrating the same sequences. Correlated sequences are providing the key to unlock the depositional and tectonic history of the Great Basin. This gamma-ray log key is essential to constrain structural cross section.

E. Well Studies: Cedar Strat has compiled studies of over 400 of the 800+ wells in the State of Nevada. The remaining 400 studies are being compiled. Well studies include a detailed stratigraphic and biostratigraphic analysis of the cuttings. Cedar Strat has obtained and maintains a cuttings library from wells and measured sections at it's Hiko, Nevada warehouse. Well studies include correlation of gamma-ray logs of wells with surface gamma-ray logs of measured sections. Cedar Strat is identifying formation tops for the first time in many Great Basin wells. A well library has been constructed by Cedar Strat which organizes each well drilled by Township and Range. This is in contrast with the State of Nevada organizing their well library by Operator and not by location.

F. Detailed Geologic Mapping: Cedar Strat is the only entity that is integrating and field checking published and unpublished geologic maps into a single digital Master Geologic Map of the entire Great Basin. It is the only entity with the experience of measuring and studying more than 1,000,000 feet of Paleozoic Stratigraphic sequences and that has the power to use that experience to map the stratigraphic sequences systematically and precisely. Cedar Strat is continually integrating and field checking additional maps and upgrading the master map using Survey Grade GPS to locate faults, wells, contacts, bedding attitudes, fossil and sample locations, alteration zones, etc. Cedar Strat has mapped more than 300 7.5' quadrangles. (The USGS charges $1 million and takes 5 years to deliver one quadrangle.)

G. Structural Cross-Sections: Cedar Strat, with it's unique Master Geologic Map, measured section data base, and structural model of the well exposed Timpahute Range has the power to make accurate, well-constrained balanced structural cross-sections. The measured sections, geologic map, well studies, structural model, and gravity data all constrain the cross-sections and point to the best structural solution.

H. Global Positioning Systems: Cedar Strat utilizes a "Sub-Meter" survey grade GPS to accurately locate data points for detailed geologic mapping, gravity data collection points, rock sample locations and well locations.

I. Seismic data: Cedar Strat utilizes available seismic data where possible. It has been determined by many entities that seismic data and the reliance thereon in Nevada has many pitfalls. It is expensive to shoot. The processing becomes difficult in that much of Nevada has a blanket of Tertiary volcanics that hinder much of the energy from penetrating to the depth desired for exploration. Additionally, the conglomerates and steeply dipping beds both scramble and send energy reflectors in a myriad of directions. Much reprocessing of data is needed to begin to have accurate seismic conclusions. Cedar Strat welcomes the use of seismic data when available, but views it as one tool that should not be relied upon solely without heavy consideration of the other methods described above.

Cedar Strat is of the belief there are multiple hundred-million and billion barrel oil fields to be discovered in the Great Basin.

Cedar Strat enthusiastically pursues its mission to explore, discover and develop this natural resource using the tools described above.
