Possible Future Petroleum Provinces of Western Gulf Basin: ABSTRACT

B. B. Mason

Abstract

A task force of industry geologists working in Region 6, Western Gulf basin, for the National Petroleum Council study, Possible Future Petroleum Provinces of the United States, has attempted to answer whether additional significant crude oil reserves will be added in the Western Gulf basin. The potential of non-producing areas is stressed, however, possible extensions to producing trends also are analyzed from a geologic and production-controls standpoint. The thoughts and ideas from eight industry papers covering the Western Gulf basin are summarized. End_of_Article - Last_Page 2040------------
