- Abstract:
-
This report presents a digital map of coalbed-gas resource assessments in the United States as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project. Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the USGS quantitatively estimated potential volumes of undiscovered, technically recoverable natural gas resources within coalbed-gas assessment units (AUs). This is the third digital map product in a series of USGS unconventional oil and gas resource maps. The map plate included in this report can be printed in hardcopy form or downloaded in a Geographic Information System (GIS) data package, including an ArcGIS ArcMap document (.mxd), geodatabase (.gdb), and published map file (.pmf). In addition, the publication access table contains hyperlinks to current USGS coalbed-gas assessment publications and web pages.
- Purpose:
-
The assessment unit (AU) is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project for the estimation of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The AU is defined within the context of the higher-level Total Petroleum System (TPS). The AU is shown here as a geographic boundary interpreted, defined, and mapped by the geologist responsible for the province and incorporates a set of known or postulated oil and (or) gas accumulations sharing similar geologic, geographic, and temporal properties within the TPS, such as source rock, timing, migration pathways, trapping mechanism, and hydrocarbon type. The AU boundary is defined geologically as the limits of reservoir rock, geologic structures, source rock, and seal lithologies. The only exceptions to this are AUs that border international boundaries with Canada and Mexico, or the Federal-State water boundary. In these cases, the international boundary or the Federal-State water boundary forms part of the assessment unit boundary.
