USGS: Huge Reserves in East Coast Basins

摘要

The US Geological Survey released a report last week that estimated a mean undiscovered natural gas resource of 3.9 trillion cubic feet and a natural gas liquids resource of 135 million barrels in five East Coast basins. The area covered in the report extends across parts of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. The five basins assessed are the Deep River, Tay-lorsville, South Newark, Dan River-Danville and Richmond. Of those five, the Deep River, in North Carolina; the Taylorsville, primarily in Virginia and southern Maryland; and the South Newark, in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, are estimated to possess the most resource potential.
