National Oil and Gas Assessment (NOGA)
Assess the natural gas endowment and the reserve growth potential of the United States, exclusive of Federal waters.
Project Chief: Chris SchenkWorld Energy Project
Understand and quantify amounts of oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids available from different provinces of the world.
Project Chief: Tom Ahlbrandt
Alaskan Petroleum Studies
Improve understanding of Alaskan petroleum—its origin, habitat, and abundance—to improve estimates of undiscovered oil and gas resources.
Project Chief: Ken BirdRegional fluid flow and basin modeling in Northern Alaska
Construct quantitative physical models of basins now found in the deformed rocks of the Brooks Range. The models will result in improved knowledge of the scale of fluid flow and flux of metals and petroleum in sedimentary basins.
Project Chief: Karen Kelley
Framework Studies and Assessment of the Gulf Coast
Conduct geologic framework studies to aid in evaluation of all energy commodities (coal, gas, and oil) in the Gulf Coast Region.
Project Chief: Peter WarwickEnergy Resource Framework of the Central Appalachian Basin
Generate conceptual GIS framework to interrelate fossil fuel resource distribution, quality, and quantity with geologic processes in the Appalachian Basin.
Project Chief: Leslie RuppertGas Hydrate
Assess recoverability and production characteristics of permafrost-associated natural gas hydrates and associated free-gas accumulations on the North Slope of Alaska and research production potential of natural gas hydrates.
Project Chief: Debbie HutchinsonPetroleum Processes Research
Focus on petroleum processes relevant to accurate and scientifically sound domestic and international oil and gas resource assessments through a thorough understanding of process controls on petroleum (oil and gas) generation, migration, accumulation, preservation, and the consequences of these processes on petroleum quantity and quality.
Project Chief: Mike Lewan
Origin & Controls of Gas/N. Great Plains
Assess coalbed methane (CBM) resources of the Powder River Basin (PRB), Williston Basin (WB) and other coal basins in Wyoming.
Project Chief: Romey Flores
Early Tertiary slab window in Alaska and its resource implications
"Tests the hypothesis that a gap between two subducting plates was responsible for a wide array of geologic features across part of western US and adjacent Canada: plutons, volcanic fields, sedimentary basins, metamorphic core complexes, ore deposits, and hydrocarbon systems."
Project Chief: Dwight Bradley, Peter Haeussler, Alison TillOrganic Geochemistry Laboratory
researches chemical and geological data to develop an understanding of the physical and chemical processes of hydrocarbon generation, migration and accumulation. The knowledge is critical to the Energy Resources Program mission and the proper evaluation of the oil and gas potential of sedimentary basins in national and global resource assessments.
American Association of Petroleum
Geologists (AAPG)
Founded in 1917 the American Association of Petroleum Geologists is currently the world's largest professional geological society.The American Petroleum Institute
The primary trade association representing the oil and natural gas industry in the United States.
