Lithologic characteristics and palynology of Upper Cretaceous and Tertiary rocks in the Deep Creek Unit well, Kenai Peninsula, Alaska

This report describes a reference section for Tertiary rocks drilled in the Standard Oil Co. of Cal. 1 Deep Creek Unit well located about 25 miles north of Homer, Kenai Peninsula, southern Alaska (pl. 1) The work is part of a study of the petroleum geology of the Cock Inlet basin and is intended to aid in the continuing search for oil and gas in the basin. A previous report (Carter and Adkison, 1972) presented preliminary electrical-log correlations of Tertiary rocks along two intersecting cross sections in the basin, and one of the cross sections included the Deep Creek well. The work was done under a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, Department of Natural Resources,' State of Alaska. The writers gratefully acknowledge the assistance of W.'C. Fackler, State Geologist and T. R. Marshall, Jr., Chief Petroleum Geologist, Division of Oil and Gas. The Standard Oil Co. of Cal. gave the conventional cores from the Deep Creek well to the State, and T. R. Marshall, Jr. made the cores available for study.
