Summary

Regions of high or low potential for oil and gas resources in the Powder River Basin generally indicate where continuous oil and gas resources are more or less likely to be found. These regions are based on several kinds of structural features that were plotted using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and drawn on a map by an assessment geologist. Structural features include faults, anticlines, synclines, and lineaments which may: 1) enhance secondary reservoir permeability and 2) provide migration pathways in unconventional rocks.

Purpose

The purpose of these datasets is to define and illustrate the geographic limit and geologic boundaries of the regions of relative high and low potential for oil and gas resources in continuous assessment units in the Powder River Basin, as part of the USGS National Assessment of Oil and Gas Project. These datasets are intended to make a general comparison between areas of higher and lower potential and are limited to the source materials used. Scale and accuracy of source material, transfer to digital formats, and interpretation of province geologist all factor into the accuracy of the dataset and users are cautioned to treat these data as rough approximations.
