Heidi Leathers-Miller
Heidi is a petroleum engineer in the U.S. Geological Survey, Energy Program, providing estimated ultimate recoveries of oil and gas wells in resource assessments.
Heidi has been with the U.S. Geological Survey since 2014. She previously worked at the Office of Natural Resources Revenue from 2008 to 2014. Prior to that, she worked at a private oil and gas company. She received her MS in Mineral Economics from Colorado School of Mines in 2011 and her BS in Petroleum Engineering, also from Mines, in 2008.

Assessment of continuous oil resources in the Eastern Great Basin Province of Nevada, Utah, and Idaho, 2018 Assessment of continuous oil resources in the Eastern Great Basin Province of Nevada, Utah, and Idaho, 2018
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) quantitatively assessed the potential for undiscovered, technically recoverable continuous oil and gas resources in the Eastern Great Basin Province (Anna and others, 2007) of Nevada, Utah, and Idaho (fig. 1). The assessment focused on the area of the province between the Roberts Mountains and Sevier thrust systems (Peterson, 1994). The major petroleum...

Assessment of tight-oil and tight-gas resources in the Junggar and Santanghu Basins of Northwestern China, 2018 Assessment of tight-oil and tight-gas resources in the Junggar and Santanghu Basins of Northwestern China, 2018
Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated undiscovered, technically recoverable mean resources of 241 million barrels of tight oil and 10.1 trillion cubic feet of tight gas in the Junggar and Santanghu Basins of northwestern China.

Variability of estimated ultimate recovery in shale oil and shale gas accumulations in the U.S. Variability of estimated ultimate recovery in shale oil and shale gas accumulations in the U.S.
Variability of mean EURs within and between unconventional reservoirs is becoming more apparent as thousands of wells are drilled and oil and gas is produced from unconventional low-permeability reservoirs. Production from many of these reservoirs shows that there is spatial heterogeneity of EURs, which is mainly related to geologic characteristics. The more refined view of spatial...
