USGS study reveals huge arctic offshore potential

摘要

The US Geological Survey (USGS) estimates that 44 to 157 billion barrels (Bbbl) of oil could be added to proved reserves from new discoveries north of the Arctic Circle and that there is a 50% chance of finding 83 Bbbl of oil. Approximately 73% of this amount, almost 61 Bbbl of oil, is expected to be found offshore.
