We developed a methodology to estimate maximum CO2 injection rates in subsurface layers across wide geographic areas using inverse modeling-based optimization techniques. We first defined geographic areas where groundwater was too saline to meet the standard for drinking water and where sufficient confining units existed above and below the injection layers. We then assumed concurrent...

This data release includes a digitized version of the "Statistics by States, lands, products and years" section of the 1981 edition of the Federal and Indian lands coal, phosphate, potash, sodium, and other mineral production, royalty income, and related statistics publication. These data were published by the Conservation Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, which was tasked with the...

The dataset includes 2024-2051 estimates of projected United States Federal mineral rights lands coal production and the resulting greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from mining, transporting, and combusting that fuel. The data cover six states and 30 coal mines. It is divided into four tables, one of coal production and three of GHG emissions. The coal production is presented with three...

Per- and polyfluoroaklyl substances (PFAS) of are of interest due to their persistence and ubiquity in the environment and their potential health and environmental effects. While these compounds have been well studied in the past 10 years, little is known about PFAS in oil and gas produced waters, which are voluminous and have the potential to impact the environment through surficial...

A method was developed to measure the presence and concentration of the organic volatile fatty acids (VFA) formate, malate, lactate, acetate, and propionate in aqueous samples using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultraviolet absorbance detection. This dataset includes a method detection limit (MDL) study, along with appropriate quality control samples, used to verify...

The land application of drill fluids is governed by rules established in the Oklahoma Administrative Rules (165:10-7) and permitted by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC). While data on the volume and location of land application is publicly accessible through the OCC's website, much of the information is in scanned form documents which limits the operability of these data. This...

This data release includes a digitized version of the "Statistics by States, lands, products and years" section of the 1981 edition of the Federal and Indian lands oil and gas production, royalty income, and related statistics publication. These data were published by the Conservation Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, which was tasked with the accounting for Federal lease...

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units, assessment input data, and resulting fact sheet data tables for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources in the Escondido, Olmos, and San Miguel Formations of the Western Gulf Basin Province, U.S. Gulf Coast Region. The assessment unit is the fundamental unit used in the National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment...

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units and input data for the assessment of undiscovered conventional and continuous oil and gas resources in the Lower Cretaceous Hosston and Travis Peak Formations, U.S. Gulf Coast. The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The...

Coal exploration drill-hole data from 5,037 wells located in Alaska, Colorado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Virginia, and Wyoming are provided in this data release. The wells are located in sixty-eight counties and were drilled between 1971 and 1981, primarily by Phillips Petroleum Company (Phillips). The hard-copy paper data were donated to the U.S...

This data release supports a study investigating the role of sulfur as a catalyst in thermal reaction kinetics, focusing on the effect of pyritic sulfur on early maturation and consequent hydrocarbon generation. Hydrous pyrolysis experiments were conducted on mixtures of gilsonite and pyrite in varying ratios. Untreated and thermally altered residues were analyzed for solid bitumen...

The West and Central African Rift System (WCARS) refers to the series of Cretaceous rift basins where commercial hydrocarbon accumulations have been discovered. The Babouri-Figuil Basin (BFB) is an area of interest in terms of petroleum prospecting related to the WCARS. Many researchers have identified potential petroleum source rocks in the BFB. However, most of these studies have...
