Plays Summary
Definition of an A:
This is the definition of an A as it was sent to Kip. Each point is linked
to a page where our research is being organized.
- Give a brief background on the formation
of hydrocarbons
- Describe the geologic history of the 1002 Area
of ANWR
- Determine the amount of hydrocarbons that exist in the 1002 Area
1. Find the types of hydrocarbons present
2. Locate the reservoirs and determine the concentration
of hydrocarbons in each region. Create a map of the 1002 Area to present
this data
- Establish the depth of the reservoirs
- Determine the expected recovery of hydrocarbons
using both primary and secondary methods of production
- Analyze the value of the hydrocarbons
1. Revenue estimates
2. Lower end estimate (based on historic oil trends)
3. Higher end estimate (based on current value)
4. Projected future value
5. Cost estimates (in cooperation with Group 8)
- A brief comparison of these values to other
world hydrocarbon sources
Compiled Data Table
Here is our first attempt at compiling a table of petroleum estimates from various reports and assessments -- Open table in new window The most accurate estimates are those from the 1998 USGS Open File Report 98-34. These estimates do not give information about location or play-specific data. Data on location, and the petroleum resources of individual plays in 1002 Area, will be organized soon and distributed to Team e.
