Assessment of the Coal-Bed Gas Total Petroleum System in the Cook Inlet-Susitna Region, South-Central Alaska.

摘要

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in 2011 completed an assessment of undiscovered, technically recoverable, conventional and unconventional oil and gas resources in the Cook Inlet-Susitna region of south-central Alaska. The assessment is based on the total petroleum system (TPS) concept (Schmoker, 2005) and includes four assessment units (AU). Results of the complete assessment were reported by Stanley and others (2011). The purpose of this report is to provide a synthesis of the geology of the Cook Inlet-Susitna region and to present input parameters and results of the Cook Inlet Coal-Bed Gas TPS resource assessment.
