 During two decades of consulting to the oil and gas industry, Jackalope Geological Ltd. had compiled a massive core description database for Devonian and other Paleozoic and Mesozoic formations during the course of extensive reservoir evaluations principally in the Williston Basin and adjacent parts of the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin. After Jackalope founder Don Kissling stepped back from full-time consulting activites in 2003, he and former partner Jim Ehrets contemplated how these historic databases might be preserved for geoscientists who remain active in the business of exploring for and developing oil and gas reservoirs. The result is this archive of unique rock descriptions, petrographic analyses, reservoir evaluations and field trip guides, all of which include extensive photographic documentation.

 During 1993 and 1998, two groups of Denver area geological consultants pooled their expertise in various disciplines to form the Reservoir Characterization Consortium, with the result being the compilation of two reservoir evaluations comprised of case studies of Mississippian and Ordovician fields in the Williston Basin. These rock-based evaluations have been out of circulation for many years, but are available again as part of the PetroArchives.
