USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project - Raton Basin-Sierra Grande Uplift Province: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units and input data for the assessment of coalbed gas resources in the Raton Basin-Sierra Grande Uplift Province, Colorado and New Mexico. The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The Assessment Unit is defined within the context of the highe

USGS National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project—Northwest Montana Bakken Formation: Assessment Unit Boundaries, Assessment Input Data, and Fact Sheet Data Tables

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units and input data for the assessment of undiscovered continuous oil and gas resources in the Bakken formation of Northwest Montana. The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The Assessment Unit is defined within the context of the higher-lev

USGS/Uzbek GOSCOMGEOLOGY/GeoMark potential source rock lab analysis results, 2021-2022

This dataset is associated with potential source rock samples collected from Uzbekistan. Borehole core samples, as well as outcrop samples, were collected by Uzbek GOSCOMGeology and the USGS in 2021 and 2022. Samples were sent to GeoMark Source Rock Lab for Leco total organic carbon content and HAWK pyrolysis analysis. Analysis results include percent carbonate (wt%), Leco TOC (wt%), and HAWK pyro

This data release contains the boundaries of assessment units, assessment input data and resulting fact sheet data tables for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources in the Barents Sea Area. The Assessment Unit is the fundamental unit used in the National and Global Oil and Gas Assessment Project for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources. The Assessment Unit is defined

Data release for the 3D petroleum systems model of the Williston Basin, USA

This data release contains data associated with the journal article "Modeling the maturation history of the stacked petroleum systems of the Williston Basin, USA". Collectively, the data release includes 13 child items and metadata files that provide detailed descriptions of the attributes, processing steps, and original data sources. There is also a data table, "Williston_Basin_Data_Release_Overv

New source rock data for the Mowry and Thermopolis Shales in the Wind River Basin, Wyoming

In 2020, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) assessed the potential for undiscovered, technically recoverable continuous (unconventional) oil and gas resources in the Mowry Shale in the Wind River Basin Province (Finn and others, 2021). To better characterize the source rock potential of the Mowry Shale and associated strata, 129 samples were collected from 45 wells from the well cuttings collection

Portable Raman spectroscopic analysis of bulk crushed rock

This study presents a simplified method and empirical relationships for determining organic matter thermal maturity using a portable Raman system equipped with a 785 nm laser, for analysis of crushed, whole-rock samples. Several sets of rocks comprised of shale and coal samples with various mineralogical composition, thermal maturity, total organic carbon (TOC), and age were used to test the metho

Daily operating standard data used for verification of the Petroleum Geochemistry Research Laboratory Method for Qualitative Biomarker Analysis of Crude Oil and Rock Extracts by Gas Chromatography-Single Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry

The data release contains biomarker data generated by Gas Chromatography-Single Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry in the Petroleum Geochemistry Research Laboratory. The data was used to determine the precision and accuracy of one daily operating standard for the method entitled, "Petroleum Geochemistry Research Laboratory Method for Qualitative Biomarker Analysis of Crude Oil and Rock Extracts by Gas C

Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources Reservoir Data (1963 - 1998)

Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources Reservoir Data (1963 – 1998) was obtained from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources in 2000 and was used in a historical and potential reserve growth study completed by Mahendra Verma and Mitchell Henry, U.S. Geological Survey. It is a collection of manually entered historical oil and gas reservoir data from 1963 – 1983, and digital copies

Microanalysis of samples collected from sandstone-hosted uranium and vanadium deposits in the Colorado Plateau: Utah, New Mexico and Colorado, USA

These data are microanalyses of 91 polished thin sections that were examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) to identify minerals and observe their relationships at high magnification. Samples are from the Triassic Chinle and Jurassic Morrison Formations and adjacent units, which are the main hosts for sandstone-hosted uranium-vanadi
