Paul Lillis
Scientist Emeritus with the Central Energy Resources Science Center
Paul Lillis is a recently retired petroleum geochemist with the Central Energy Resources Science Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Denver, Colorado. He received a B.A. in geology from San Jose State University, an M.S. in geology from San Diego State University, and a Ph.D. in geochemistry from Colorado School of Mines. He was a petroleum exploration geologist with Atlantic Richfield for eight years (1978 to 1986) in Colorado, California, and Texas, and has been with the USGS in Denver since 1987. His research focuses on the application of petroleum and source-rock geochemistry to identifying, characterizing, and mapping petroleum systems.\

Petroleum systems and geologic assessment of oil and gas in the Uinta-Piceance Province, Utah and Colorado Petroleum systems and geologic assessment of oil and gas in the Uinta-Piceance Province, Utah and Colorado
The purpose of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Oil and Gas Assessment is to develop geology-based hypotheses regarding the potential for additions to oil and gas reserves in priority areas of the United States, focusing on the distribution, quantity, and availability of oil and natural gas resources. The USGS has recently completed an assessment of the undiscovered oil and...

Subsurface and petroleum geology of the southwestern Santa Clara Valley ("Silicon Valley"), California Subsurface and petroleum geology of the southwestern Santa Clara Valley ("Silicon Valley"), California
Gravity anomalies, historical records of exploratory oil wells and oil seeps, new organic-geochemical results, and new stratigraphic and structural data indicate the presence of a concealed, oil-bearing sedimentary basin beneath a highly urbanized part of the Santa Clara Valley, Calif. A conspicuous isostatic-gravity low that extends about 35 km from Palo Alto southeastward to near Los...
