National Assessment of Oil and Gas - Upper Jurassic-Cretaceous-Tertiary Composite Total Petroleum System, Gulf Coast (Provinces 047, 048 and 049)

The Total Petroleum System is used in the National Assessment Project and incorporates the Assessment Unit, which is the fundamental geologic unit used for the assessment of undiscovered oil and gas resources.  The Total Petroleum System is shown here as a geographic boundary defined and mapped by the geologists responsible for the provinces and incorporates not only the set of known or postulated oil and (or) gas accumulations, but also the geologic interpretation of the essential elements and processes within the petroleum system that relate to source, generation, migration, accumulation, and trapping of the discovered and undiscovered petroleum resource(s).
