Abstract
First posted December 22, 2017 For additional information, contact: Program Coordinator, Energy Resources ProgramU.S. Geological Survey12201 Sunrise Valley DriveNational Center, MS 913Reston, VA 20192 The U.S. Geological Survey estimated mean undiscovered, technically recoverable resources of 8.7 billion barrels of oil and 25 trillion cubic feet of natural gas (associated and nonassociated) in conventional accumulations in the Cretaceous Nanushuk and Torok Formations in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, adjacent State and Native lands, and State waters. The estimated undiscovered oil resources in the Nanushuk and Torok Formations are significantly higher than previous estimates, owing primarily to recent, larger than anticipated oil discoveries.
