Abstract
During July 1966, after competitive bidding, a contract was awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey to GeoData Corporation and Geo Prospectors, Inc., both of Tulsa, Oklahoma, for 18 miles of continuous seismic-reflection profiling in the vicinity of a deep injection disposal well (IDW) at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal near Denver, Colorado. The purpose of this survey was to determine if structure exists in the 12,000-ft sedimentary section or in the Precambrian basement that might be related to the series of earthquakes that occurred in the area starting in the spring of 1962. A paper on the seismic-reflection profiling by Ben R. Rummerfield, A. Peter Olson, and D. B. Hoover (1968) reported the major conclusions of the survey.
