Figure 9. Incremental cost of finding, developing, and producing crude oil from undiscovered conventional oil fields and crude oil from continuous-type oil accumulations in US regions; A. Region 1 Alaska; B. Regions 2 Pacific Coast; C. Region 3 Colorado Plateau and Basin and Range. Solid line represents undiscovered conventional oil and dashed line represents the total of undiscovered conventional oil and oil in continuous-type accumulations.
