+++ History
* 1962 - Beluga River Gas Field discovered
* 1968 - First gas produced

+++ Geology
* The Beluga River structure is a broad, north-northeastern trending fault propagation fold with a steep dipping reverse fault on the west side.
* The field produces from two Tertiary-aged formations: the high net-to-gross Pliocene-aged Sterling Formation and the underlying, low net-to-gross Miocene-aged Beluga Formation.
* Gross reservoir thickness is up to 3,200 feet, and it consists of dozens of stacked channel belt and crevasse splay sands encased in relatively impermeable siltstone, mudstone and coal.
* The sand deposits are discontinuous, relatively small in size, and their reservoir quality varies with composition (feldspathic litharenite to argillaceous litharenite) and degree of compaction.
* Ubiquitous interbedded thin and widespread coals source the tremendous volume of biogenic gas trapped within the field.
