Description

A group of known and/or postulated sub-seafloor pools (hydrocarbon accumulations) that share common geologic, geographic, and temporal properties, such as history of hydrocarbon generation, migration, reservoir development, and entrapment. Geologic classifications of each play and its potential are described in the associated reports for each region. The analysis was based on seismic surveys analyzed by BOEM geologists.
