Description

This map document contains oil and gas assessment units and cells that were defined for the 2010 assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources in Jurassic and Cretaceous strata of the Gulf Coast. Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated means of 147.4 trillion cubic feet of undiscovered natural gas, 2.4 billion barrels of undiscovered oil, and 2.96 billion barrels of undiscovered natural gas liquids in Jurassic and Cretaceous strata in onshore lands and State waters of the Gulf Coast.
