Energy Resources Data

Quality data are the foundation of well-informed decisions. Decision-makers across the Nation rely on the Energy Resources Program to deliver data and science about geologic energy resources. 

Our data and science inform decisions about where and how to develop energy resources. 

Our data are used by diverse decision-makers. Some examples include: 

  • Federal land management agencies use our resource inventories and assessments to understand the potential for energy resource development on federal lands, and how development could impact other natural resources
  • Policy makers use our geologic energy resource assessments to plan for a secure and sustainable energy future. 
  • Emerging industries use our data to understand the geologic potential for emerging renewable energy and carbon sequestration technologies
