Survey of stranded gas and delivered costs to Europe of selected gas resources Survey of stranded gas and delivered costs to Europe of selected gas resources
Two important trends affecting the expected growth of global gas markets are (1) the shift by many industrialized countries from coal-fired electricity generation to the use of natural gas to generate electricity and (2) the industrialization of the heavily populated Asian countries of India and China. This paper surveys discovered gas in stranded conventional gas accumulations and...

A probabilistic assessment methodology for the evaluation of geologic carbon dioxide storage A probabilistic assessment methodology for the evaluation of geologic carbon dioxide storage
In 2007, the Energy Independence and Security Act (Public Law 110-140) authorized the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to conduct a national assessment of potential geologic storage resources for carbon dioxide (CO2) in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. The first year of that activity was specified for development of a methodology...

Economics of undiscovered oil and gas in the North Slope of Alaska: Economic update and synthesis Economics of undiscovered oil and gas in the North Slope of Alaska: Economic update and synthesis
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has published assessments by geologists of undiscovered conventional oil and gas accumulations in the North Slope of Alaska; these assessments contain a set of scientifically based estimates of undiscovered, technically recoverable quantities of oil and gas in discrete oil and gas accumulations that can be produced with conventional recovery technology...

Development of a probabilistic assessment methodology for evaluation of carbon dioxide storage Development of a probabilistic assessment methodology for evaluation of carbon dioxide storage
This report describes a probabilistic assessment methodology developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for evaluation of the resource potential for storage of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the subsurface of the United States as authorized by the Energy Independence and Security Act (Public Law 110-140, 2007). The methodology is based on USGS assessment methodologies for oil and gas...

Economic decision making and the application of nonparametric prediction models Economic decision making and the application of nonparametric prediction models
Sustained increases in energy prices have focused attention on gas resources in low-permeability shale or in coals that were previously considered economically marginal. Daily well deliverability is often relatively small, although the estimates of the total volumes of recoverable resources in these settings are often large. Planning and development decisions for extraction of such...

Exploration maturity key to ranking search areas Exploration maturity key to ranking search areas
The study area of US Geological Survey Circular 1288, the world outside the US and Canada, was partitioned into 44 countries and country groups. Map figures such as Fig. 2 and graphs similar to Figs. 3 and 4 provide a visual summary of maturity of oil and gas exploration. From 1992 through 2001, exploration data show that in the study area the delineated prospective area expanded at a...

Heavy oil and natural bitumen resources in geological basins of the world Heavy oil and natural bitumen resources in geological basins of the world
Heavy oil and natural bitumen are oils set apart by their high viscosity (resistance to flow) and high density (low API gravity). These attributes reflect the invariable presence of up to 50 weight percent asphaltenes, very high molecular weight hydrocarbon molecules incorporating many heteroatoms in their lattices. Almost all heavy oil and natural bitumen are alteration products of...

Statistics of petroleum exploration in the world outside the United States and Canada through 2001 Statistics of petroleum exploration in the world outside the United States and Canada through 2001
Future oil and gas supplies depend, in part, on the reserves that are expected to be added through exploration and new discoveries. This Circular presents a summary of the statistics and an analysis of petroleum exploration in the world outside the United States and Canada (the study area) through 2001. It updates U.S. Geological Survey Circular 1096 (by E.D. Attanasi and D.H. Root, 1993...

Siberian platform: Geology and natural bitumen resources Siberian platform: Geology and natural bitumen resources
The Siberian platform is located between the Yenisey River on the west and the Lena River on the south and east. The Siberian platform is vast in size and inhospitable in its climate. This report is concerned principally with the setting, formation, and potential volumes of natural bitumen. In this report the volumes of maltha and asphalt referred to in the Russian literature are...

Prediction of resource volumes at untested locations using simple local prediction models Prediction of resource volumes at untested locations using simple local prediction models
This paper shows how local spatial nonparametric prediction models can be applied to estimate volumes of recoverable gas resources at individual undrilled sites, at multiple sites on a regional scale, and to compute confidence bounds for regional volumes based on the distribution of those estimates. An approach that combines cross-validation, the jackknife, and bootstrap procedures is...
