Assessment of Undiscovered Natural Gas Resources of the Sacramento Basin Province of California, 2006 Assessment of Undiscovered Natural Gas Resources of the Sacramento Basin Province of California, 2006
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) recently completed a new assessment of undiscovered natural gas resources of the Sacramento Basin Province of California. Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the USGS mean estimates of undiscovered, technically recoverable resources are 534 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 323 thousand barrels of natural gas liquids in the Sacramento Basin...

Executive Summary — Assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources of the San Joaquin Basin Province of California, 2003 Executive Summary — Assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources of the San Joaquin Basin Province of California, 2003
In 2003, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) completed an assessment of the oil and gas resource potential of the San Joaquin Basin Province of California (fig. 1.1). The assessment is based on the geologic elements of each Total Petroleum System defined in the province, including hydrocarbon source rocks (source-rock type and maturation and hydrocarbon generation and migration), reservoir...

Assessment of Undiscovered Gas Resources of the Eastern Oregon and Washington Province, 2006 Assessment of Undiscovered Gas Resources of the Eastern Oregon and Washington Province, 2006
Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated a mean of 2.4 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of undiscovered natural gas in the Eastern Oregon and Washington Province. More than 90 percent, or 2.1 TCF, of the estimated undiscovered natural gas is continuous gas estimated to be trapped in Tertiary rocks overlain by the Columbia River Basalt Group.

Growth history of oil reserves in major California oil fields during the twentieth century Growth history of oil reserves in major California oil fields during the twentieth century
Oil reserves in 12 of California's 52 giant fields (fields with estimated recovery > 100 million barrels of oil) have continued to appreciate well past the age range at which most fields cease to show significant increases in ultimate recovery. Most of these fields were discovered between 1890 and 1920 and grew to volumes greater than 500 million barrels in their first two decades...

USGS assessment of oil and gas resource potential of the San Joaquin Basin, California USGS assessment of oil and gas resource potential of the San Joaquin Basin, California
The assessment of oil and gas resource potential of the San Joaquin Basin, California, by the U.S. Geological Survey, is discussed. Two categories of future additions to reserves were evaluated, first was resource in undiscovered accumulations and second was growth of reserves in already discovered accumulations. The mean estimate of undiscovered oil resources is 393 barrels. The...

Petroleum geology of the state of Washington Petroleum geology of the state of Washington
This report describes the potential petroleum resources of Washington State as recently summarized in the 1995 U.S. Geological Survey National Assessment of Oil and Gas Resources. Eight conventional petroleum plays, three coal-bed gas plays, and two continuous-type gas plays are defined and characterized. Of these plays, the potential for significant petroleum accumulations appears...
