Petrographic Survey and Appraisal of the Reservoir Quality and Potential, National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska

As part of the reservoir management, resource assessment, and planning programs of the Bureau of Land Management in Alaska, the oil and gas resource potential of the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA) is undergoing review in light of new technical information, as well as changing national and international socioeconomic conditions. Emphasis in this work has been on integration of geological, petrophysical, geophysical, and engineering information, in order to provide a refined, more technically substantive knowledge base for resource assessment and management.
