The Utah Core Research Center, established in 1951 by the Utah Geological Survey, houses the region's most comprehensive collection of geologic core and cuttings from Utah. With over 1,500 drill holes and nearly 5,000 drill holes worth of subsurface data, the UCRC serves as a vital repository for geologic information related to oil and gas, metal exploration, potash, water, geothermal resources, and more.
This invaluable resource is utilized by industry professionals and academic researchers alike, providing crucial insights into Utah's natural resources and geology. The collection, valued at approximately $5 billion, plays a significant role in facilitating development, reducing costs, and advancing understanding of Utah's geologic landscape.
