Basins joined for assessment presentation ( ) Indicates basin also listed under another country - no further calculations Ng Negligible NA Not assessed Numbers with no following data are unused (e.g. 1009-12) 1 Assessments originally based on analog relations with comparable areas (see Kingston, 1991). Subsequent analysis determined there to be no most likely occurrence of commercial oil; only low probability, 5%, values were assessed. 2 Below listed names refer to adjoining areas prior to pull apart separation. Several discrete basins likely occur in each zone. |
