2002, Open-File Report 2002-127
Gravity, aeromagnetic, seismic, and borehole information enable mapping of crustal basement characteristics within the National Petroleum Reserve Alaska (NPRA). In general, the pre-Mississippian basement of the southern portion of the NPRA is different from that in the north in that it is deeper and thinner, is made up of dense...

Ground-Water Age and its Water-Management Implications, Cook Inlet Basin, Alaska
Roy L. Glass
2002, Fact Sheet 022-02
The Cook Inlet Basin encompasses 39,325 square miles in south-central Alaska. Approximately 350,000 people, more than half of Alaska?s population, reside in the basin, mostly in the Anchorage area. However, rapid growth is occurring in the Matanuska?Susitna and Kenai Peninsula Boroughs to the north and south of Anchorage. Ground-water resources...

U.S. Geological Survey 2002 petroleum resource assessment of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA)
K. J. Bird, D.W. Houseknecht
2002, Fact Sheet 045-02
A new USGS assessment concludes that NPRA holds signicantly greater petroleum resources than previously estimated. Technically recoverable, undiscovered oil beneath the Federal part of NPRA likely ranges between 5.9 and 13.2 billion barrels, with a mean (expected) value of 9.3 billion barrels. An estimated 1.3 to 5.6 billion barrels of...
Geographic information systems compilation of geophysical, geologic, and tectonic data for the Bering Shelf, Chukchi Sea, Arctic margin, and adjacent landmasses

2002, Open-File Report 2002-207
This report provides a summary of the estimated volume of technically recoverable undiscovered oil and nonassociated gas resources for each of the 24 plays evaluated in the U.S. Geological Survey 2002 petroleum resource assessment of the NPRA (Bird and Houseknecht, 2002). It also provides a set of illustrations showing the...
Magnetotelluric data along the Tangle Lakes profile, Alaska
Jay A. Sampson, Brian D. Rodriguez
2002, Open-File Report 2002-177
The 89 km long Tangle Lakes profile of 14 magnetotelluric (MT) stations begins 4 km south of the confluence of Augustana Creek and the Delta River in south central Alaska. The northernmost station, TLM13, is located just south of the Denali Fault in the rugged Clearwater Mountains. The north-south profile...

Distribution of high-temperature (>150 °C) geothermal resources in California
John H. Sass, Susan S. Priest
2002, Open-File Report 2002-132
California contains, by far, the greatest geothermal generating capacity in the United States, and with the possible exception of Alaska, the greatest potential for the development of additional resources. California has nearly 2/3 of the US geothermal electrical installed capacity of over 3,000 MW. Depending on assumptions regarding reservoir characteristics...
Magnetic susceptibilities measured on rocks of the upper Cook Inlet, Alaska
A.A. Alstatt, R. W. Saltus, R.L. Bruhn, Peter J. Haeussler
2002, Open-File Report 2002-139
We have measured magnetic susceptibility in the field on most of the geologic rock formations exposed in the upper Cook Inlet near Anchorage and Kenai, Alaska. Measured susceptibilities range from less than our detection limit of 0.01 x 10-3 (SI) to greater than 100 x 10-3 (SI). As expected, mafic...

2002, Open-File Report 2002-62
Soils in Alaska, and in high latitude terrestrial ecosystems in general, contain significant amounts of organic carbon, most of which is believed to have accumulated since the start of the Holocene about 10 ky before present. High latitude soils are estimated to contain 30-40% of terrestrial soil carbon (Melillo et...

2002, Open-File Report 2002-71
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has initiated a project to reassess the hydrocarbon potential of the NPRA. Although exploration for hydrocarbons in the NPRA was initiated in 1944, it has taken fifty years for the first commercial discovery to be made. That discovery, the Alpine field (projected recoverable reserves...
