THE NEW ALBANY SHALE PETROLEUM SYSTEM, ILLINOIS BASIN; RESOURCE ESTIMATES BY CATCHMENT 

Table 2. Catchment number (CN), cumulative production (CUM) and known petroleum volume of oil (K VOL), and original oil in place (OOIP) values for the New Albany Shale petroleum system.  Volumes are millions of barrels of oil (MMBO).  “Within” and “outside” refer to location of produced, in-place, and (or) recoverable oil within or outside the 400 HI contour that encloses thermally mature source rocks.  The final column shows the percent of oil production within the hydrocarbon generative area of the Illinois Basin. [If your Web browser cannot view the below table, it is also saved as comma-delimited ( oilprod.csv) and Microsoft EXCEL v. 5.0 ( oilprod.xls) files. The external HTML table is named oilprod.htm .]
