Saw this ref somewhere else - has some general info on cane creek - http://geology.utah.gov/emp/pump/pdf/pumprpt8.pdf
This bit caught my eye at first glance -
Fractured-shale beds in the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation are oil productive in the Paradox Basin fold and fault belt (northern Paradox Basin) of southwest Utah. The Cane Creek shale of the Paradox Formation is composed of marine carbonate, evaporite, and organic-rich shale beds. The Cane Creek is a fractured, self-sourced oil reservoir that is highly overpressured – an ideal target for horizontal drilling. Horizontal drilling increases the probability of encountering the near-vertical fractures, has resulted in numerous new field discoveries, and greatly improved the success rate in the Cane Creek play.
